Triage

Quick-score your pipeline of scan results. Ranks every role in your pipeline by fit and recommends which ones deserve a full evaluation. Use when someone says 'triage my pipeline', 'which scanned jobs should I apply to', 'rank my pipeline', or 'process my scan results'.

File contents

Triage Pipeline

Quick-score scan results to find the best candidates for full evaluation.

Step 0: Load Context

Read data/profile.yml
Read data/pipeline.md - the queue from scan results
Read data/applications.md - exclude already-tracked roles

If pipeline is empty:

"Your pipeline is empty. Scan some companies first: say 'scan {company name}' or 'scan all' for your watchlist."

Step 1: Determine Scope

No argument / "all": Process every "New" entry in pipeline
Company name: Process only that company's entries
Number limit: "triage top 10" -> process first 10 by relevance

Step 2: Quick-Score Each Role

For each pipeline entry with status "New":

Fetch the full JD if only a URL is stored (use WebFetch)
If WebFetch unavailable, score based on title + location only (partial)
Quick-score on 3 dimensions:
- Title fit (0-5): How well does the title match target roles?
- Requirements fit (0-5): If JD available, how many requirements match?
- Logistics fit (0-5): Location, seniority, compensation range match?
Average = quick score out of 5.0

This is FAST scoring. No blocks A-F. No STAR stories. Just a fit check.

Step 3: Rank & Recommend

Sort by quick score, descending.

## Pipeline Triage: {date}

Scored **{n}** roles from your pipeline.

### Recommended for Full Evaluation (score >= 3.5)

| # | Company | Role | Quick Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | {company} | {title} | {score}/5 | {one-line reason} |
| 2 | ... | ... | ... | ... |

### Maybe (score 2.5-3.4)

| # | Company | Role | Quick Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | | | | |

### Skip (score < 2.5)

| # | Company | Role | Quick Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | | | | {why it doesn't fit} |

Step 4: Update Pipeline

Update data/pipeline.md:

Add quick score to each entry
Change status from "New" to "Triaged"

Step 5: Next Steps

"Top {n} roles are worth a full evaluation.

Want me to:

Evaluate the top pick? Say 'evaluate {company} {role}'

Evaluate all recommended? I'll work through them one by one

Scan more companies? Say 'scan {company}'"

If user says "evaluate all recommended," process each sequentially using the evaluate skill, pausing between each for user confirmation.
