## What it is
career-ops is an open-source, local-first AI job search system that runs inside AI coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.). It scans 150+ job portals, evaluates listings against your CV with a five-dimension rubric and 1.0-5.0 score, generates ATS-optimized tailored PDF resumes, drafts answers to Greenhouse/Ashby/Lever application questions, and tracks your pipeline in a Go-based terminal dashboard.

## Use cases
- find and score job listings matching my resume
- tailor my CV to a specific job posting as an ATS-friendly PDF
- draft answers to open-ended questions on Greenhouse, Ashby, or Lever application forms
- track my job application pipeline instead of a spreadsheet
- scan company career portals automatically for new openings
- prepare for interviews with AI-generated prep material
- run a job search locally without cloud services or telemetry

## When to choose
- you want an AI-powered, end-to-end job search workflow that runs entirely on your own machine
- you already use an AI coding CLI like Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode and want to repurpose it for job hunting
- you need ATS-optimized, per-role tailored resumes and structured job-fit scoring
- you want a free, MIT-licensed alternative to paid job-search tools, including free AI engine options like Ollama or OpenRouter

## When to avoid
- you are not comfortable opening a terminal and running commands
- you have no access to any AI coding CLI or LLM engine (paid or free)
- you need a polished GUI or mobile app rather than a CLI-driven workflow
- you expect fully automated, hands-off application submission - apply mode drafts answers but you stay in the loop
