+# Job Application Skill
+
+Find matching positions and create tailored applications in ShareLaTeX.
+
+## Reference Project
+
+The existing CV template is at ShareLaTeX project `6a873cad300b2c1747bdf4c4`. Use it as base for all new applications.
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Read User Profile
+
+Search OpenViking for the user's professional data:
+- Skills, technologies, expertise
+- Work experience and projects
+- Education, certifications
+- Personal data (name, address, contact)
+
+Use `openviking_search` with queries like "professional profile", "work experience", "skills".
+
+### 2. Search for Jobs
+
+Use `websearch` to find relevant positions. Target job boards matching the user's field (Arbeitsagentur, LinkedIn, StepStone, etc.).
+
+### 3. Present Candidates
+
+Show a prioritized table of 3-4 best matches:
+
+| # | Role | Company | Location | Why it fits |
+|---|------|---------|----------|-------------|
+| 1 | ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+Wait for user to select which ones to pursue.
+
+### 4. Create ShareLaTeX Projects
+
+For each selected job:
+
+1. `sharelatex_create_project` with name "Bewerbung – {Company} – {Role}"
+2. Copy all files from template project `6a873cad300b2c1747bdf4c4`:
+   - `resume.tex`, `_header.tex`, `TLCresume.sty`, `variables.tex`
+   - All files under `sections/`
+3. Update `variables.tex` with company-specific values (`\Company`, `\Position`, `\Subject`, `\Salutation`)
+4. Rewrite `cover-letter.tex` with a tailored letter
+
+### 5. Cover Letter Rules
+
+- Language: German (formal, DIN 5008)
+- Length: one page max
+- Structure: greeting → role reference → 2-3 matching qualifications with concrete examples → closing
+- Tone: professional but personal
+- Reference specific projects and skills from OpenViking profile
+
+### 6. Compile & Verify
+
+After writing all files:
+1. `sharelatex_compile` to check for errors
+2. Fix any issues
+3. Return project links to user
+
+## Output
+
+Present a summary table:
+
+| Role | Project | Status |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| ... | link | Created |
