board
Application tracker board. Read ~/.dear-hiring-manager/applications.md and render a status board (grouped by blocked/skipped/filled/submitted/rejected/interview/offer with counts and a response-rate summary), and update an application's status + date when the user reports progress (e.g. "mark Transcend as interview"). Use for /board or whenever the user wants to see or update their job-application pipeline.
npx skills add extrasmall0/dear-hiring-manager --skill board --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tracker board Read and maintain the application pipeline in `~/.dear-hiring-manager/applications.md` (the flat-file tracker). Two jobs: **show** the board and **update** a status. ## Show 1. Read `applications.md`. If it's missing or has no rows, say so and point to `/dear-hiring-manager:apply` or `:batch`. 2. Render a board grouped by `status`, in pipeline order: **blocked → skipped → filled → submitted → rejected → interview → offer**. - A count per column header. - One line per application under its status: `company — role (fit N · applied <date> · N flags)`. - A one-line summary: totals, and response rate = `(interview + offer) / (submitted + rejected + interview + offer)` — i.e. responses over everything ever submitted (status is single-valued, so an advanced app has left the `submitted` bucket). Show `n/a` when that denominator is 0. 3. Surface what's actionable: - `blocked` apps (CAPTCHA / unreadable form) → need your manual action; list them first. - `filled` apps not yet submitted → parked, awaiting the human's Submit. - `submitted` apps with no status change in >14 days → consider a follow-up. ## Update When the user reports progress (e.g. "Transcend → interview", "Airb

What does the board skill do?
Application tracker board. Read ~/.dear-hiring-manager/applications.md and render a status board (grouped by blocked/skipped/filled/submitted/rejected/interview/offer with counts and a response-rate summary), and update an application's status + date when the user reports progress (e.g. "mark Transcend as interview"). Use for /board or whenever the user wants to see or update their job-application pipeline.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add extrasmall0/dear-hiring-manager --skill board --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From extrasmall0/dear-hiring-manager, a repository with 106 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
