Job Application Operator

Contract

Use this skill when Arthur wants to apply to a job, inspect an application form, prepare documents, fill application fields, or update learned application answers.

This skill is for supervised job applications, not blind auto-apply.

Private Files

Load private data from:

• ~/.config/AgentDesk/personal-profile.yaml
• ~/.config/AgentDesk/job-applications/profile.yaml
• ~/.config/AgentDesk/job-applications/document-manifest.yaml
• ~/.config/AgentDesk/job-applications/field-answers.yaml
• ~/.config/AgentDesk/job-applications/application-log.jsonl

Never commit real private profile data or private PDFs to Git.

Hard Rules

• Never submit an application without Arthur explicitly confirming in the current session.
• Never bypass CAPTCHA, MFA, bot checks, login walls, or account creation.
• Never store passwords.
• Never use stealth, proxies, or CAPTCHA-solving services.
• Stop on salary, work authorization, visa, demographic, disability, military/veteran, legal, relocation, notice-period, or motivation questions unless a policy exists and still ask before final submission.
• Upload only documents that match the field label.
• Stop before the final submit button.
• Do not mention Russian citizenship unless the form explicitly asks for all citizenships or nationalities.
• Skip or flag defense/export-control/military roles if citizenship restrictions create a likely blocker.
• Fully remote roles are manual-review only because Arthur prefers hybrid or office-based work.

Preferred Browser Backend

Codex Chrome extension is not assumed to be available.

Use available browser automation in this order:

1. Codex Desktop direct browser/computer-use if available.
2. agent-browser CLI.
3. Playwright MCP.
4. browser-harness only as fallback.

Application Loop

1. Open exactly one job application URL.
2. Identify platform:
   • Ashby
   • Lever
   • Personio
   • Greenhouse
   • Workday
   • YC
   • custom
   • unknown
3. Create a field inventory:
   • label
   • field type
   • required/optional
   • current value
   • select options
   • file upload fields
   • sensitive fields
   • unknown fields
4. Fill only safe high-confidence fields.
5. Ask Arthur for unknown or sensitive fields.
6. Save reusable answers to field-answers.yaml.
7. Upload files using document-manifest.yaml.
8. Stop at final review/submit.
9. Log result to application-log.jsonl.

Known Profile Policies

Location

Preferred:

• Munich

Munich is first choice. Augsburg is even better. Berlin is acceptable because it has a strong job market. Other locations require review.
