What it does
Turns an agent CLI into a job-search command centre: it scans Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever and company pages with Playwright, reasons about your CV against each description rather than matching keywords, scores the fit across five weighted dimensions with a separate legitimacy check, and generates a tailored ATS-aware PDF per listing — all tracked in one place. Explicitly a filter, not a spray-and-pray tool: the system discourages applying below 4.0/5. Early scores are admittedly rough until you teach it your priorities. MIT.

career-ops FAQ
- Is career-ops free?
- career-ops itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use career-ops?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does career-ops work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use career-ops commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
