What is it?

AI Job Search is a workflow framework for running a job search with Claude Code. You fork the repository, fill in a candidate profile through a guided /setup command or by editing profile files, and then use slash commands to scrape job portals, score postings against your fit criteria, and generate a tailored CV and cover letter in LaTeX for each application.

The core pipeline is a drafter-reviewer loop: one agent drafts the CV and cover letter, a second agent with fresh context reviews them, and the drafter revises. The /apply command compiles both PDFs with lualatex and xelatex, checks the layout visually, and runs a text-layer check on the CV to confirm that an ATS parser can read contact details and keywords. Claims are checked against the profile, and gaps are flagged rather than filled in.

Beyond applications, the repo includes commands for interview preparation, application outcome tracking, Gmail and Notion syncing, HTML dashboards, skill gap analysis, and adding new job portal or template integrations. The Danish portal skills are market-specific, while LinkedIn and freehire search tools work across countries.

Things to know

  • Requires a paid Claude Code subscription or Anthropic API credits.
  • Requires a LaTeX distribution with lualatex and xelatex installed.
  • Portal search skills are built for the Danish market and need adapting for other countries.
  • A fork is always public, so personal data written by /setup should go in a private repo instead.
