## When to use

- Evaluating a pasted job description or job URL against your CV, goals, compensation expectations, and role preferences
- Generating ATS-optimized, job-specific CVs and PDFs from a structured profile plus the target job description
- Scanning job portals such as Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Wellfound, Workable, or company career pages for relevant openings
- Maintaining a job-search pipeline with deduplication, status normalization, follow-up cadence checks, and application reports

## Key concepts

### Command center router

The top-level `/career-ops` skill routes direct job descriptions, URLs, or subcommands into specialized modes such as auto-pipeline, scan, pdf, tracker, followup, deep research, and interview prep.

### Auto-pipeline

Pasting a job description or URL can trigger the full pipeline: evaluate the role, produce a report, generate a tailored PDF CV, and update the tracker.

### Structured fit evaluation

Career-Ops evaluates opportunities with an A-F scoring workflow across fit, gaps, level strategy, compensation research, personalization, and interview preparation.

### Single source of truth

Applications, pending URLs, generated reports, CV outputs, portal definitions, and status data live in repository files so the agent can inspect, update, deduplicate, and verify the pipeline.

### Human-in-the-loop applications

The system helps discover, evaluate, tailor, and draft application materials, but the user remains responsible for reviewing decisions and submitting applications.

## API reference

```
Install
```

Clone the repository, install dependencies, install the Chromium browser used by Playwright, and validate the local setup.

```
git clone https://github.com/santifer/career-ops.git
cd career-ops && npm install
npx playwright install chromium
npm run doctor
```

```
Configure profile and portals
```

Create local configuration files for your career profile and target job portals before running evaluations or scans.

```
cp config/profile.example.yml config/profile.yml
cp templates/portals.example.yml portals.yml
# Create cv.md in the project root with your CV in markdown
```

```
/career-ops {JD or URL}
```

Run the full auto-pipeline for a job description or listing URL: evaluation, report, tailored PDF, and tracker update.

```
/career-ops "Senior AI Engineer at Anthropic..."
/career-ops https://boards.greenhouse.io/example/jobs/123
```

```
/career-ops scan
```

Scan configured portals and discover new offers across supported job-board sources and custom company pages.

```
/career-ops scan
```

```
/career-ops tracker
```

Review application pipeline status, normalize statuses, and inspect progress across tracked roles.

```
/career-ops tracker
```

```
/career-ops followup
```

Check follow-up cadence, flag overdue contacts, and generate draft outreach for applications that need attention.

```
/career-ops followup
```

## Gotchas

- Career-Ops is intentionally a filter, not an automated spray-and-pray application bot; review role scores and materials before acting.
- First evaluations depend heavily on the context you provide, so fill out `config/profile.yml`, `cv.md`, preferences, proof points, and target-role details early.
- PDF generation requires Chromium through Playwright; run `npx playwright install chromium` before using PDF workflows.
- Portal scans and live application assistance may involve browsing job sites, so expect source availability, rate limits, and page structure changes to affect results.
- The repository contains local state such as reports, tracker data, CV outputs, and portal config; treat it as your private job-search workspace.
