The user wants today's job-search digest: the one thing to do first, then the rest.
- If the Career Compass tools are available, call `pipeline_view` with `action: "next_actions"`.
It returns a ranked digest: a "Start here" move, the rest of today's list, and what is
coming up. Lead with the Start here move in a sentence or two and offer to do its first
step right now (draft the check-in, build the interview prep, review the offer). Then the
other items, one line each with its action. Keep the whole reply short enough to read
over coffee, and don't pad it with generic job-search advice.
- Never change a status, date or note on your own. Where the digest suggests one (mark a
silent application ghosted, record where an offer stands, set a follow-up date), offer
the exact `pipeline_update` and make it only after the user says yes.
- If nothing is due, say so in one line, name the next thing coming up, and suggest one
forward move such as tracking a new role. Don't invent work.
- If the pipeline is empty, say so in one line and ask for one thing: "Tell me one role
you've applied to or are considering (company and title) and I'll start tracking it."
That is the whole reply. When they answer, show the `pipeline_add` calls as one batch,
make them after one yes, then give the first digest (`pipeline_view` `next_actions`) in
the same reply. Since these were their first applications, end with the career-compass
skill's one-time morning briefing offer.
- If the search has ended in an accepted offer, offer the career-compass skill's landing
mode (this week's wins) instead of tracking new roles.
- If the tools are not available, explain in one sentence that tracking needs Career
Compass running in Claude Code or Cowork on their computer. Then offer to build today's
list anyway from what they paste: each application's company, role, date applied and
last contact.
