What it does

Fill in your profile once, then let Claude Code search job boards, score each posting against you, and write a tailored CV and cover letter that a second agent reviews.

An AI-powered job application framework built on Claude Code. Fork it, fill in your profile, and let Claude evaluate job postings, tailor your CV, write cover letters, and prepare you for interviews.

Inside the repo

Step by step

  1. Open the GitHub repo and read the README and SETUP.md.
  2. Make your own private copy (the README explains why a public fork is a bad idea for your personal data), then run python3 tools/install_portal_clis.py.
  3. Start Claude Code in the folder and type /setup: it reads your CV or asks you questions to build your profile.
  4. Run /scrape to find jobs, then /apply <job link> for a fit score plus a reviewed CV and cover letter. /interview helps you prepare.

Watch out for

The built-in job board searches are made for Denmark (plus public LinkedIn listings); for other countries you add your own boards with /add-portal. Your name, history and salary go into the project files, so keep the copy private. Read every letter before you send it. Built by a job seeker who says it got him hired (69 applications, 20 first interviews, one offer).
