job-hunter-kit 0.8

Job search automation with LLM API pipeline mode and AI agent mode.

Job Hunter

Job hunting is repetitive work. Job Hunter automates the parts that don't need you: scraping listings across major job boards, scoring each one against your profile, tailoring your resume per application, and drafting cover letters. You handle the conversations.

Works interactively inside Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or GitHub Copilot, or runs fully autonomous via LLM API for unattended pipelines and GitHub Actions.

What It Does

• Discovers jobs across LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Himalayas, Remotive, and more — filtered by your titles, regions, and exclusions
• Scores each listing against your career context so you know what to prioritize
• Tailors your resume per job and generates a cover letter, ready for PDF export
• Tracks applications with a dashboard and analytics so nothing slips through

Install

pip install job-hunter-kit
# or
uv tool install job-hunter-kit

Quick Start

job-hunter init my-workspace
cd my-workspace
cp .env.example .env
job-hunter config check
job-hunter doctor

Edit config/job_hunter.yml with your titles, regions, exclusions, profile paths, scoring thresholds, and provider/model choices. Put your positioning, writing style, and career context in profile/career_context.md. Secrets use fixed environment variable names in .env or GitHub Actions.

Modes

Mode	What runs	When to use
agent	Python prepares context; Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Copilot skills handle scoring, tailoring, and writing	Interactive daily review
llm-api	Full autonomous pipeline; LLM APIs called inside Python	Unattended runs and GitHub Actions

Set mode: in config/job_hunter.yml. Default is agent.

Daily Workflow

job-hunter hunt --region primary
job-hunter brief
job-hunter dashboard --no-interactive

In agent mode, open the workspace in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or GitHub Copilot and use:

/job-hunter brief
/job-hunter batch
/job-hunter one <url>
/job-hunter finalize

In llm-api mode, job-hunter hunt runs scrape → score → tailor → cover letter → PDF → tracker in one pipeline.

CLI Reference

• job-hunter init <workspace> — create a workspace
• job-hunter config check — validate config/job_hunter.yml
• job-hunter doctor — check setup health
• job-hunter hunt — discover and enrich jobs
• job-hunter brief — write the daily briefing
• job-hunter tailor — process job URLs or JD text
• job-hunter dashboard, applications, analytics — inspect application state
• job-hunter update-skills — refresh bundled .claude/skills/
• job-hunter version, update-info — version and upgrade guidance

Support commands (agent-context, import-job, compile-pdf, update-readme, mark-processed, discard-job, cleanup-transient, finalize-run) are used by skills and automation.

Data Contract

Your data stays yours. Product updates must not overwrite config/, profile/, outputs/, or .env. Deterministic choices live in config/job_hunter.yml; career and writing guidance lives in profile/career_context.md; URL dedup state lives in outputs/state/discovered_urls.yml.

See DATA_CONTRACT.md for the full contract.

Lineage

Job Hunter is the evolution of a single experiment: job-hunter-core and job-hunter-template worked as one system to prove the pipeline, the workspace model, and the agent skill layer — everything this package ships today.
