SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Job seekers lose track of recruiter replies buried in their inbox, missing time-sensitive follow-ups and new inbound opportunities. This Skill automatically scans Gmail for company and recruiter messages tied to an active job search and flags the ones needing a response. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Targeted Gmail Search: Searches for messages from companies in the application tracker using company names and common ATS domains like Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday, plus a broader search for generic recruiting language to catch new inbound outreach. - Thread Classification: Reads each thread and classifies it as needing a reply, informational (rejections, confirmations), or new inbound from an untracked company. - Tracker Updates: Appends dated notes to existing application entries, updates statuses when a stage change is obvious, and adds new inbound outreach as leads, then syncs the webpage view. - Use Case: You applied to 15 companies last week and want to know if anyone responded. Run the check and get a summary naming each company that needs a reply, plus any new recruiter outreach added to your leads. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check your email for recruiter replies and update your job search tracker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check Gmail for recruiter replies automatically?▼

Run the job-search-gmail-check skill, which searches Gmail for messages from companies in your application tracker using company names and ATS domains like Greenhouse and Lever. It classifies each thread and tells you which ones need a reply.

How does the skill detect new recruiter outreach from unknown companies?▼

It runs a broader Gmail search for generic recruiting phrases like "next steps", "interview", and "schedule a call" newer than the last run. Messages from companies not in the tracker are added as leads with source "inbound email".

What happens if Gmail is not connected when the check runs?▼

The skill checks gmail-status.md and the availability of Gmail MCP tools first. If Gmail is not connected, it tells you to say "connect Gmail" to set it up through SuggestConnectors, then stops without making changes.

Does the Gmail check update my job application tracker?▼

Yes, it appends dated notes to matching application entries, updates the status when a stage change is obvious such as an onsite invitation, and adds new inbound outreach to leads. It then syncs the webpage view on a best-effort basis.

Why does the Gmail check miss some recruiter emails?▼

It only searches messages newer than the last-run timestamp in gmail-status.md, so older threads are skipped. It can also miss companies whose emails come from domains not matching the company name or common ATS patterns.
