Create Application Package

This skill orchestrates multi-step application creation. The agent MUST follow each phase sequentially and MUST NOT skip steps without user approval.

</instructions> <workflow>

Step 1: Preparation

Read Inputs:
- Job Offer (from arguments)
- ```
Candidate-Profile.md
```
  (Source of Truth)
Deep Analysis: Analyze the job post to understand requirements and fit.
Company Research: If deep research is missing, the agent SHOULD request the Researcher Agent to build a dossier.

Step 2: Strategy Definition

Decide on the application strategy based on analysis:

Technical/Expert: Emphasize hard skills and projects.
Business/Growth: Focus on ROI and results.
Hybrid: Combine technical depth with business impact.
Mission: Align with company values (for NGOs/Nonprofits).

Step 3: Material Generation

A. CV Generation

Load Guide: Read
```
references/guide-tailor-cv.md
```
.
Execute: Follow the workflow in the guide to generate
```
CV-tailored.md
```
.
- Use
```
references/cv-master-pattern.md
```
  as the template.

B. Cover Letter Generation

Load Guide: Read

references/guide-generate-cover-letter.md

Execute: Follow the workflow in the guide to generate
```
Cover-letter.md
```
.
- Use
```
references/cover-letter-templates.md
```
  for templates.

Step 4: Package Assembly

Structure: Files MUST be saved to
```
/02-Applications/YYYY-MM/Company-Name/
```
.
Consistency Check: Verify tone, formatting, and facts across all documents.
Additional Assets: MAY create
```
Portfolio.md
```
or
```
Case-Study.md
```
using data from the Profile if relevant.

Step 5: Finalization

Tracking: Run
```
track-application
```
to initialize the log.
- CRITICAL: Set status to "Ready to Apply".
- CRITICAL: Set Applied Date to "Pending".
- Do NOT mark as "Applied" or "Sent" until the user explicitly confirms submission.
Email Draft: Create a submission email using the template in
```
references/templates.md
```
.
Checklist: Verify completeness using the checklist in
```
references/templates.md
```
.

Step 6: Follow-up Plan

Schedule the first follow-up action (typically 1 week post-application) in the tracker.
