Sends one application by e-mail through the user's own SMTP account, cover letter as body and tailored resume attached, after showing the full message and getting an explicit yes. Use when the user says "send the application", "e-mail my application to Acme", "apply by mail", or the posting says to apply by e-mail. Never use it to log in to a job board or fill a web form.
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
# Apply by e-mail Input: a tracked job with a contact address, `cover-letter.md` and `resume.*` in its application folder. Output: one e-mail sent from the user's address, the job marked applied, the sent message saved as `email-sent.eml`. ## 1. Check the pieces ```bash scoutjobs job show <id> --json scoutjobs job check <id> ``` `job check` runs the quality gates and prints one line per gate: `documents` (tailored resume and cover letter present), `fit_review` (no veto on the job or in `fit-review.json`), `coverage` (no must-have gap, every agreed wording is in the drafts), `grounding` (the `draft-reviewer` logged `send` after the last edit), `duplicates` (no repeated paragraph, letter not reused from another application), `ats_text` (`resume.pdf` has a text layer, is not encrypted), `filenames` (ASCII, known types, no `final (1)`). A `FAIL` line blocks `email send`; fix the cause (re-run the skill the line names) and check again. Report every unresolved failure to the user in its own words; never summarise them away. `WARN` lines are advice. Only the user may decide to send past a failure, and then the command is `email send <id> --yes --skip-checks`, which logs… …

How to install
mdr add zoolcoder/scoutjobs/apply-by-email@sha256:67f5c6214dc81eecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.847f467, which is what most people want. 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.
