Analyzes job descriptions across 10 weighted dimensions (skill match, compensation, growth, location, company stability, role fit, market demand, interview difficulty, timeline, and cultural alignment) to produce a normalized 1.0-5.0 score. Uses Claude Code with a shared scoring archetype system (_shared.md) that defines evaluation rubrics, enabling consistent A-F grade mapping across 740+ evaluations. The evaluation engine in oferta.md handles single JD analysis while ofertas.md performs comparative ranking across multiple opportunities.
Unique: Uses a shared archetype system (_shared.md) that encodes evaluation rubrics as reusable Claude prompts, enabling consistent scoring across 740+ evaluations without rebuilding evaluation logic per run. Implements weighted multi-dimensional scoring (10 dimensions) rather than simple keyword matching, producing nuanced A-F grades that account for compensation, growth, cultural fit, and interview difficulty simultaneously.
vs alternatives: More sophisticated than keyword-matching job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn) because it evaluates role fit across 10 weighted dimensions including compensation, growth trajectory, and cultural alignment; faster than manual evaluation because Claude Code processes JDs in parallel via batch-runner.sh orchestration.
Generates tailored resume PDFs for each target job description using a keyword-injection engine that maps JD requirements to candidate skills. The generate-pdf.mjs script processes CV HTML templates with embedded font assets, injects keywords extracted from the target JD, and outputs ATS-compliant PDFs. Uses a CV HTML template system with configurable fonts and styling, ensuring each PDF is customized for the specific role while maintaining ATS readability (no complex graphics, semantic HTML structure). The system produced 100+ tailored CVs during the original 740-evaluation search.
Unique: Implements keyword injection at the HTML template level before PDF rendering, allowing semantic keyword placement (e.g., injecting JD skills into relevant resume sections) rather than naive text replacement. Maintains a CV HTML template system with embedded fonts, enabling consistent styling across 100+ generated PDFs while preserving ATS compatibility (semantic HTML, no complex graphics).
vs alternatives: More targeted than generic resume builders (Canva, Indeed Resume) because it injects JD-specific keywords into each resume; faster than manual customization because generate-pdf.mjs batch-processes templates with keyword mapping in seconds rather than minutes per resume.
Manages candidate profile, job search preferences, and system configuration through YAML-based configuration files (config/profile.example.yml) and environment variables (.envrc). The profile system stores candidate skills, experience, education, and preferences (target roles, salary range, location constraints), which are referenced by all downstream skills (evaluation, resume generation, outreach). The configuration system enables users to customize evaluation weights, job board sources (portals.yml), and language preferences without modifying code. Profile templates (modes/_profile.template.md) enable quick setup for new users.
Unique: Uses YAML-based configuration files (profile.yml, portals.yml) and environment variables (.envrc) to enable users to customize evaluation criteria, job board sources, and candidate preferences without modifying code. Profile templates enable quick setup for new users.
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded configuration because users can customize evaluation weights and job sources via YAML; more secure than environment variables alone because it separates sensitive data (API keys) from configuration (preferences).
Provides system health checks and data validation through utility scripts (doctor.mjs, verify-pipeline.mjs, cv-sync-check.mjs) that validate configuration, check API connectivity, verify data integrity, and ensure consistency between CV templates and application tracker. The doctor.mjs script performs comprehensive health checks (API keys, file permissions, required dependencies), while verify-pipeline.mjs validates the application tracker for missing data, inconsistent statuses, and orphaned records. cv-sync-check.mjs ensures that generated CVs match the current candidate profile.
Unique: Implements a suite of validation scripts (doctor.mjs, verify-pipeline.mjs, cv-sync-check.mjs) that perform comprehensive health checks and data integrity validation, treating system reliability as a first-class concern. Enables users to identify and fix issues before running large batch jobs.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than simple error logging because it proactively validates configuration and data; more actionable than generic error messages because it provides specific remediation suggestions.
Manages system versioning and updates through update-system.mjs script and VERSION file, enabling users to track system versions and apply updates safely. The update system checks for new releases, validates compatibility, and applies incremental updates to configuration files and scripts. Version tracking enables reproducibility (users can specify which version of career-ops was used for a job search) and enables rollback if updates introduce issues.
Unique: Implements version tracking and update management through update-system.mjs, enabling reproducible job searches and safe incremental updates. Enables users to track which system version was used for a specific job search, supporting reproducibility and debugging.
vs alternatives: More rigorous than ad-hoc updates because it validates compatibility and tracks versions; more transparent than automatic updates because users control when updates are applied and can rollback if needed.
Maintains a single source of truth for all job applications using a flat-file markdown database (data/applications.md) instead of a traditional database. The system includes three Node.js scripts: merge-tracker.mjs consolidates application data from multiple sources, dedup-tracker.mjs removes duplicate entries using fuzzy matching on company/role/date, and normalize-statuses.mjs standardizes status values (applied, interviewing, rejected, offer, etc.) across inconsistent user input. This architecture enables version control (Git history), human-readable data, and easy auditing without external dependencies.
Unique: Uses a flat-file markdown database (data/applications.md) as the single source of truth, enabling Git-based version control and human-readable auditing without external database dependencies. Implements a three-script pipeline (merge, dedup, normalize) that handles data consolidation from multiple sources, fuzzy-matching deduplication, and status standardization — treating data integrity as a first-class concern rather than an afterthought.
vs alternatives: More transparent than cloud-based trackers (Lever, Greenhouse) because the entire application history is version-controlled and human-readable; more reliable than spreadsheets because dedup-tracker.mjs and normalize-statuses.mjs automatically enforce consistency without manual cleanup.
Orchestrates large-scale job discovery and evaluation through a bash-based batch runner (batch-runner.sh) that processes multiple job sources in parallel. The system uses scan.md (Claude Code skill) to discover new roles from configured job portals (portals.yml), and batch-prompt.md as a worker template that applies evaluation logic to each discovered JD. The batch runner manages job queuing, parallel execution limits, and result aggregation, enabling processing of 100+ job postings in a single run. Results feed into the application tracker for downstream pipeline stages (apply, outreach, interview prep).
Unique: Implements a bash-based batch orchestrator (batch-runner.sh) that manages parallel Claude Code invocations with configurable concurrency limits and result aggregation, treating job discovery and evaluation as a unified pipeline rather than separate steps. Uses portals.yml as a declarative configuration for job sources, enabling users to add new job boards without modifying code.
vs alternatives: Faster than manual job board scraping because batch-runner.sh parallelizes evaluation across multiple JDs; more flexible than job board APIs because it uses Claude Code to parse arbitrary job posting formats; more cost-effective than commercial job aggregators because it leverages Claude's API pricing rather than per-job licensing.
Provides interview readiness through two mechanisms: (1) a story bank system that stores and retrieves candidate anecdotes indexed by skill/competency, enabling Claude to generate interview responses using relevant personal examples, and (2) pattern analysis scripts that extract recurring themes from past interviews and applications to identify weak areas. The interview-prep.md skill file orchestrates story retrieval, question generation, and response coaching. Pattern analysis scripts examine application tracker data to identify which skills/experiences correlate with positive outcomes, informing interview preparation focus areas.
Unique: Combines a manually-curated story bank (indexed by skill/competency) with pattern analysis of historical application outcomes to generate personalized interview coaching. Unlike generic interview prep tools, it uses the candidate's own experiences and success patterns to inform responses, making coaching contextual to their specific career trajectory.
vs alternatives: More personalized than generic interview prep platforms (Pramp, InterviewBit) because it uses the candidate's own story bank and historical success patterns; more comprehensive than simple question banks because it includes pattern analysis to identify weak areas and coaching feedback.
