How They Work Together

1. /proficiently:setup uploads your resume, configures preferences, imports LinkedIn contacts, and conducts a work history interview (one-time)
2. /proficiently:job-search finds jobs that match your preferences and resume, flags companies where you have connections
3. /proficiently:tailor-resume rewrites your resume for a specific job posting, saves the job posting and tailored resume together
4. /proficiently:cover-letter last writes a cover letter using the most recent job's posting and tailored resume
5. /proficiently:apply last fills out the application form on Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday using your tailored resume and cover letter
6. /proficiently:network-scan scans your LinkedIn contacts' companies for matching openings (leverages your network for warm intros)
7. /loop 1m /proficiently:jobsearch-telegram runs the Telegram bot in the background — send a job URL or "search [keywords]" from your phone to trigger any of the above automatically

All skills share a ~/.proficiently/ directory for personal files. Each job application gets its own folder containing the posting, tailored resume, and cover letter.
