What it does

Fill out job applications automatically using your resume. Use when the user wants to apply for jobs on LinkedIn Easy Apply, Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Rippling, or Workday.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

9A Codex and Claude Code skill for filling job applications on LinkedIn Easy Apply, Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Rippling, and Workday using visible browser automation.

11## Initial Prompt
12
13When this skill is invoked, first follow the bundled answer-memory skill ($job-apply:answer-memory in Codex; /job-apply:answer-memory in Claude Code): resolve <plugin-root>, establish storage routing, run the bundled helper's init command, then load the profile with profile-get. Never read or write persistent Job Apply files directly.
14
15If the supplied job URL is an approved local loopback QA URL containing a #qa-route=<run-id>.<64-lowercase-hex-token> fragment, resolve that complete fragment value through python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/qa-replay.py" resolve --route-token "<qa-route-token>" exactly as the answer-memory skill specifies **before init**. Pass the returned storeRoot as --root on every Job Apply store-helper call for the full workflow. Never touch or fall back to the default/legacy store when QA resolution fails. Keep the route token private. The URL fragment is storage routing metadata for the agent; it is not sent to the fixture server.
16
17For that approved replay only, record the supported lifecycle through the coordinator: run python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/qa-replay.py" started --run-id "<run-id>" before filling and python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/qa-replay.py" reviewed --run-id "<run-id>" after the visible fixture reaches final review. Do not substitute direct history or session writes. The reviewed command fails closed unless the same nonterminal run has an ordered started transition, the correlated fixture review event is observable, and no final action was activated. Repeating either command is safe and does not duplicate events.
18
19After evaluation, or if the QA replay is abandoned, run python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/qa-replay.py" cleanup --run-id "<run-id>". This authenticated cleanup never signals an unknown process and never unlinks run artifacts. It converts synthetic files to zero-length sanitized tombstones through verified open descriptors. Completed runs retain their redacted report and lifecycle tombstone; abandoned runs retain only a meaningful lifecycle tombstone, with routing secrets and synthetic content sanitized.

21**If the returned profile object is empty**, say:
22
23> Welcome to the Job Application Assistant! I'll help you fill out job applications on LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Rippling, and Workday.
24>
25> First, I need to set up your profile. This is a one-time process — your information will be saved for future applications.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈80
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
4,820
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
2.5%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 25% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

4.9k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It asks the agent to write files, using whatever file access your client already has. Whether it reaches the network is not declared.

What it asks for
Writes filesyes
Network accessnot declared

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. It also asks for Bash, which could do either, so what is not named there is not ruled out. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 19.6 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md19.6 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Job Application Assistant · 4.9k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/job-application-assistant/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/job-application-assistant" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/job-application-assistant ] || { mv .claude/skills/job-application-assistant "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/job-application-assistant" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/job-application-assistant"

npx mcprush@latest skill add neonwatty/job-application-assistant

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/job-application-assistant/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/job-application-assistant/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/job-application-assistant" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/job-application-assistant ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/job-application-assistant "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/job-application-assistant" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/job-application-assistant" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/job-application-assistant/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as job-apply in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, job-application-assistant.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
