Career-Ops Job Search Pipeline Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. Career-Ops turns Claude Code into a full job search command center. It evaluates offers with A-F scoring, generates ATS-optimized PDFs, scans 45+ company portals, and tracks everything in a single source of truth — all powered by Claude AI agents. Installation
1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/santifer/career-ops.git cd career-ops
2. Install Node dependencies (for PDF generation via Playwright)
npm install npx playwright install chromium
3. Configure your profile
cp config/profile.example.yml config/profile.yml
Edit config/profile.yml with your name, target roles, location, comp range, etc.
4. Configure portal scanner
cp templates/portals.example.yml portals.yml
Add/remove companies you want to track
5. Add your CV in Markdown
Create cv.md in project root — this is what the AI reads to evaluate fit
cat
cv.md << 'EOF'
Your Name
Experience
...your CV content in markdown... EOF
6. Build the Go dashboard (optional but recommended)
cd dashboard go build -o career-dashboard . cd .. Prerequisites Node.js 18+ (for Playwright/PDF) Go 1.21+ (for dashboard TUI) Claude Code ( claude CLI) with an active Anthropic API key
Verify Claude Code is installed
claude --version
Open career-ops in Claude Code
claude
run from the career-ops directory
Core Commands All commands run inside Claude Code as slash commands. Paste into the Claude Code session: /career-ops → Show all available modes /career-ops {job URL or JD} → Full auto-pipeline: evaluate + PDF + tracker entry /career-ops scan → Scan pre-configured portals for new offers /career-ops pdf → Generate ATS-optimized CV for last evaluated offer /career-ops batch → Batch evaluate multiple offers in parallel /career-ops tracker → View application pipeline status /career-ops apply → AI-assisted application form filling /career-ops pipeline → Process all pending URLs in queue /career-ops contacto → Generate LinkedIn outreach message /career-ops deep → Deep company research report /career-ops training → Evaluate a course or certification /career-ops project → Evaluate a portfolio project fit Auto-detection shortcut Just paste a raw job URL or job description text — career-ops detects it and runs the full pipeline automatically: https://boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/12345
Or paste the full JD text — Claude auto-routes it
Configuration Files config/profile.yml This is your candidate profile. Claude reads this for every evaluation.

Setup batch queue
Create a batch input file — one URL per line
cat
batch/queue.txt << 'EOF' https://boards.greenhouse.io/company/jobs/123 https://jobs.lever.co/company/456 https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/company/789 EOF Run batch evaluation
From Claude Code session:
/career-ops batch
Or directly from terminal using the runner script:
cd batch ./batch-runner.sh queue.txt batch/batch-runner.sh
!/usr/bin/env bash
batch-runner.sh — orchestrates parallel claude -p workers

" ${1 :- queue.txt} " MAX_PARALLEL = 4 PROMPT_FILE = "batch-prompt.md" while IFS = read -r url ; do [ [ -z " $url " || " $url " == \

] ] && continue
Launch sub-agent for each URL
claude -p " $( cat $PROMPT_FILE ) \n \n Evaluate this offer: $url " \ --output-format json \
.. /data/batch-results.jsonl &
Throttle parallelism
while [ [ $( jobs -r | wc -l ) -ge $MAX_PARALLEL ] ] ; do sleep 2 done done < " $QUEUE_FILE " wait echo "Batch complete. Results in data/batch-results.jsonl" PDF Generation PDFs are generated via Playwright rendering an HTML template with injected keywords. Triggering PDF generation
In Claude Code — after an evaluation:
/career-ops pdf
Claude will:
1. Read the last evaluation report
2. Extract keywords from the job description
3. Inject them into templates/cv-template.html
4. Render with Playwright to output/{company}-{role}.pdf

In Claude Code session (claude command in project root):
/career-ops https://boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/4567890
Claude will:
1. Scrape the job description
2. Detect archetype (LLMOps, Agentic, PM-AI, etc.)
3. Score against your cv.md and profile.yml
4. Generate 6-block evaluation report → reports/
5. Create ATS-optimized PDF → output/
6. Add entry to data/pipeline.tsv
Add a company to the scanner
In portals.yml, add under companies:
- name : "Langfuse" url : "https://langfuse.com/careers" board : "ashby" filter_keywords : - "AI" - "engineer" - "remote"
Then run:
/career-ops scan Build interview story bank The STAR+R system accumulates stories across evaluations:
After several evaluations, run:
/career-ops tracker
Claude surfaces your strongest STAR stories and maps them
to common behavioral questions. Stories accumulate in:
reports/_story-bank.md
Salary negotiation script generation
After receiving an offer:
/career-ops {paste the offer details}
Claude generates:
- Counter-offer script with specific numbers
- Geographic discount pushback if applicable
- Competing offer leverage language
- Email templates for each scenario
