Application Tracker

type:review
Track PhD application status, deadlines, required documents, and follow-up timing across many universities at once. Use this whenever the user wants to manage, check, review, or get a status update on their applications — e.g. "what deadlines are coming up?", "which professors haven't replied?", "what do I still need for the MIT application?", "where am I with everything?", "remind me to follow up", or "give me a status update on my PhD apps". Reads the application status files and interaction logs in the knowledge base, surfaces what's due, missing, or overdue, updates the records, and can set up recurring reminders. Trigger whenever the intent is to get oriented across multiple applications or stay on top of deadlines and follow-ups, even if the user doesn't say "tracker".

From the source SKILL.md

A PhD applicant is running many parallel processes — different deadlines, document checklists, and pending replies across a dozen labs — and the failure mode is silent: a missed deadline or a follow-up that never happened costs an entire opportunity. This skill is the applicant's air-traffic control. Its value is surfacing the few things that need action now out of a mass of state, accurately, so nothing winnable slips.

What this skill does

Application Tracker is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/application-tracker/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Application Tracker Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
