I got tired of AI resume spam and ghost jobs, so I built an open-source CLI agent for developers

Description and use

Career‑Ops is a local CLI agent that removes token costs, prevents resume hallucinations, keeps data private, and supports multiple AI tools for developers’ job searches.

Problem

Recruiters reject candidates in seconds, ghost jobs stay open for months, and paid SaaS tools flood the market with generic AI resumes, causing inefficiency and privacy concerns for developers.

Outcome

Career‑Ops eliminates token costs, prevents resume hallucinations, keeps all data local, and supports multiple AI coding tools, improving efficiency and privacy for developer job seekers.

Workflow

• 1. Scrape ATS JSON endpoints (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever) or use dual‑engine for bot‑protected portals.
• 2. Generate resumes from cv.md using dynamic skill reordering and proof‑point matching.
• 3. Compile ATS‑compliant HTML/PDF/LaTeX locally.
• 4. Track applications and interview prep in local Markdown/TSV files.
• 5. Run via chosen AI CLI (Claude, OpenCode, Agy, Codex/Gemini).

Evidence

Career‑Ops is a 100% local, CLI‑agnostic job search automation pipeline designed specifically for developers.
