  "`python3 tools/install_portal_clis.py`",
  "Run `claude` inside the repo, then run `/setup` and fill in your profile from your documents.",
  "Run `/apply https://jobindex.dk/job/1234567` with the posting URL, or run `/apply` and paste the job description if the URL cannot be fetched.",
  "Read the evaluation, the drafted CV and the cover letter, and edit anything that is wrong before you send it."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the ai-job-search repo, run /apply on the posting at <posting URL>. Expect a fit evaluation, a tailored LaTeX CV and cover letter, and a reviewer critique with the final revised output.
