README

📋 Daily Job-Search Brief

A [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill (+ optional nightly automation) that turns your **inbox and calendar** into a living job-search tracker and a short, **forward-looking daily brief** — so you always know what needs your attention (interviews to prep, replies you owe, threads to nudge) without digging through email.

What it does

Reads your job-related email (applications, recruiter replies, rejections) and calendar (interviews, recruiter/networking calls).
Maintains a plain-Markdown tracker: Interviewing / Open / Rejected applications, active conversations & follow-ups, and contacts/referrers.
Produces a forward-looking daily brief — what needs you, what's upcoming, what you're waiting on. Action-only, time-aware, no noise.
Two ways to use it:
- On demand — invoke the skill in a Claude Code session ("update my job brief").
- Automated — a nightly background run that writes the brief to a file you can watch with one command.

What it looks like

At the end of each run it prints a short, forward-looking brief — only what needs you, what's upcoming, and what you're waiting on. A sample (illustrative — fictional companies and names):

  🔔 BRIEF — 2026-05-14 21:30
════════════════════════════════════════════
Needs you / upcoming:
 • Tomorrow 10:00 AM — final-round panel with Northwind Labs (Growth PM). Prep: pull your
   metrics-impact stories; they flagged experimentation depth in the screen.
 • Reply owed to Dana Okafor (recruiter, Everline) — she asked for your availability the
   week of the 8th; 2 days old.
 • Brightwave take-home (product teardown) due Fri — ~2 hrs of work, not started yet.
Awaiting (just watching, no action):
 • Helio AI — waiting on the recruiter to confirm the hiring-manager screen after Monday's intro.
 • Referral intro to the Cartographer team (via Sam Patel) — sent, no reply yet.
