Career-Ops

AI-powered job search pipeline built on Claude Code. Evaluate offers, generate tailored CVs, scan portals, and track everything. 56K+ GitHub stars.

Tech Stack

• Agent: Claude Code with custom skills and modes (14 skill modes)
• PDF: Playwright/Puppeteer + HTML template
• Scanner: Playwright + Greenhouse API + WebSearch
• Dashboard: Go + Bubble Tea + Lipgloss (Catppuccin Mocha)
• Data: Markdown tables + YAML config + TSV batch files

The reviewed local artifact shows the dashboard as a terminal workbench: scored offers, tabs for evaluated/applied/interview/no-apply queues, salary/status fields, and rank-style filtering. That matters because career-ops is not merely a prompt pack; it is a real operator surface around a job-search state machine. Source: local artifact, 2026-06-30
