See SETUP.md for installation instructions.

Core Principles

AUTO-PROCEED Mode

• DO NOT ask for confirmation at routine steps
• JUST DO IT - proceed through entire workflow automatically
• ONLY STOP for: login walls, CAPTCHA, critical errors, fit score < 5.0

⚠️ Outreach Order (CRITICAL)

1. Find recruiters on LinkedIn (names, titles, URLs)
2. Discover email addresses (WebSearch company email pattern)
3. Send cold emails via Gmail FIRST
4. THEN send LinkedIn connection requests
5. Track everything in applications.json

Email = PRIMARY (higher response rate). LinkedIn = SECONDARY.

Workflow: Apply to Job URL

Step 1: Extract Job Description

1. Navigate to job URL with Playwright
2. Capture page snapshot
3. Extract: title, company, location, requirements
4. Identify key skills/technologies

Step 2: Score Job Fit (0-10 each)

• Technical Fit: Skills match percentage
• Level Match: Appropriate for experience level
• Location: Remote/local/relocation
• Mission: Company alignment

Score >= 5.0 → AUTO-PROCEED | Score < 5.0 → Notify user

Step 3: Tailor Resume

1. Read $APPLIER_HOME/resume/master_resume.md
2. Reorder projects by relevance to JD
3. Emphasize matching skills (use JD keywords)
4. Save to $APPLIER_HOME/applications/<Company>/

Rules: Never add fake skills. Never fabricate metrics. Only reorder/emphasize.

Step 4: Generate Cover Letter

1. Read $APPLIER_HOME/templates/cover_letter.md
2. Research company (WebFetch)
3. Personalize for role + company
4. Keep to 250-350 words
5. Save to $APPLIER_HOME/applications/<Company>/

Step 5: Auto-Fill Application

Use Playwright to fill forms based on platform:

• LinkedIn Easy Apply
• Company career pages (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, ADP, etc.)
• Upload resume, add cover letter if field exists

Step 6: Track & Screenshot

1. Take confirmation screenshot
2. Update $APPLIER_HOME/data/applications.json
3. Update stats

Step 7: Recruiter Outreach

See WORKFLOWS.md for detailed outreach steps.

Summary:

1. Search LinkedIn for company recruiters (3+ people)
2. Discover emails via WebSearch (company email pattern)
3. Send cold emails via Gmail (use template)
4. Send LinkedIn connections (after emails)
5. Track all outreach in applications.json

Recruiter Contact Discovery

Use publicly available contact information only:

1. Check the recruiter's LinkedIn profile for contact info
2. Check the company careers page for recruiter contact details
3. Use the company's public contact form if no direct contact is available
