What is it?
career-ops is a job search agent that runs inside AI coding CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. You paste a job URL or description, and it checks whether the posting is still open, scores the role from 1 to 5 against your CV, and recommends skipping weak fits. For roles worth pursuing, it drafts an ATS-friendly CV as PDF, a cover letter, and answers to application questions, plus interview preparation and company research.
The project also includes a portal scanner covering over 100 pre-configured companies and common ATS boards such as Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever and Wellfound, a pipeline tracker with deduplication and status management, rejection pattern analysis, and follow-up reminders. Data stays on your machine, and the system does not auto-submit applications or send email; you review each draft and submit yourself.
Setup is a single npx command, and the tool is configured through chat on first launch. It supports several AI CLIs and can be run with free or local models.
