• 1.4 Update test framework at ~/workspace/test-bewerbungen/ with new application structure

2. Create Email Generation Command

• 2.1 Create src/.claude/commands/write-application-email.md command file
• 2.2 Implement command argument parsing (application name, flags: --force, --help)

• 2.8 Add tone adaptation (Formal/Balanced/Casual) from application.md
• 2.9 Implement file existence checks and user-friendly error messages
• 2.10 Write generated email to application-email.md in application folder

3. Testing & Quality Assurance

• 3.1 Test new-application creates attachments folder correctly
• 3.2 Test write-application-email with all required documents present
• 3.3 Test write-application-email with missing documents (error handling)
• 3.4 Test --force flag to overwrite existing email
• 3.5 Test language detection (German/English)
• 3.6 Test tone variations (Formal/Balanced/Casual)
• 3.7 Verify error messages are clear and actionable

4. Documentation

• Tasks 3.x depend on 1.x and 2.x (implementation must be complete)
• Tasks 5.x depend on all previous tasks

Verification Criteria

Each task is considered complete when:

• Code is written and tested
• Error cases are handled gracefully
• User-facing messages are clear and helpful
• Functionality matches specification
