aaddrick Slushpile
A job application pipeline. This skill is a router: the pipeline itself lives in
ten skill files and eight agent definitions under .slushpile/.
Read the matching file in full and follow it. Do not work from this summary — the details are the product, and every rule in those files carries a failure mode that this page does not have room for.

Before anything else
Check for preferences.yaml in the working directory. If it is absent, the
workspace has not been set up, and every other skill here depends on it. Run
onboarding first.
The review pipeline without subagents
Cursor has no subagent dispatch. The review runs its seven personas sequentially in one context.
Read each definition from .slushpile/agents/, adopt it, write its report out
in full, then move to the next. The order is: triage screener, requirements
analyst, ATS simulator, fatigued reader, pool analyst, hiring manager,
contrarian.
The first five are supposed to be blind to each other. In a single context they are not, and a specialist that has already read the triage verdict will drift toward agreeing with it. Writing each report out completely before starting the next is what limits the bleed. Do not skip that.
The hiring manager gets all five specialist reports. The contrarian gets everything.
The one rule that matters most
Nothing in the pipeline hardcodes a fact about the user. Every personal fact —
compensation floor, relocation, work authorization, clearance, targeting — lives
in preferences.yaml, and every factual claim about their career lives in
profile.md. Read those. Never assume a fact about the user that is not in one
of them, and never write one into an application that you cannot point to.
What this never does
It does not submit anything. No skill here touches an application portal, an email, or a form. It writes files that the user reads and sends themselves.
