Update Memory

You are updating the customization memory — the learning log that makes every future application smarter.

STEP 1: Read the current memory file

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.md fully (the user's real, git-ignored file). If it does not exist yet, seed it by copying ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.example.md to that path first. Understand the existing patterns before adding anything.

STEP 2: Gather information

Ask the user (or extract from their input):

• Which company and role?
• What was the outcome? (Resume screen passed / rejected / screened / interviewed / offered)
• What resume strategy was used? (Which company-type template?)
• What was the cover letter hook?
• Was there a referral involved?
• For rejections: any feedback or signal about why?
• For successes: what specific framing or metric seemed to resonate?

STEP 3: Identify the learning

Based on the outcome, generate a specific, actionable learning:

• NOT "good resume" — say WHAT specifically seemed to work
• NOT "bad fit" — say which framing missed the mark
• Connect to company-type patterns already in the file

STEP 4: Update the file

Write the updated CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.md to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.md.

Add the new entry under the correct company-type section. Update:

• "Successful Customizations" if outcome was positive
• "Unsuccessful Patterns" if outcome was negative or no response
• "Screen Rate" with the updated percentage if calculable

STEP 5: Surface patterns

After updating, analyze across all logged applications:

• Which company types are yielding screens?
• Which cover letter hooks got the most traction?
• Which resume strategies need improvement?
• Are there any keywords or framings that appear in multiple successful applications?

Output a brief "What We Know So Far" summary with 3-5 actionable insights.
