Assists with job applications: evaluating job postings, tailoring resumes, writing cover letters, verifying the compiled PDFs, and preparing for interviews. Triggers on keywords like: job posting, job application, CV, cover letter, resume, interview prep, job fit, career, application, apply, tailor, ATS, shortlist.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Job Application Assistant --- ## Workflow When the user provides a job posting (URL or text), follow this workflow: ### Step 1: Research & Evaluate Fit - Follow **`/apply` Steps 0 to 1c** (`.claude/commands/apply.md`) exactly: the posting fetched (a 403 is not a dead end, `09-web-research.md`), its **full posting text verbatim** kept for Step 3b to archive (never a summary), the score looked up or derived against `profile/04-job-evaluation.md`, the evaluation table and verdict presented, the plan, the already-applied question and the skills question, then stop until the user answers.

Only a custom template… …

This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
