moonlighter-apply

The answering slice of moonlighter: for one posting, it gathers every question the application form asks and drafts an answer to each from your profile, as one sheet you review and paste. It never opens the form and never submits.

Use it on its own

uvx moonlighter-apply prepare 42                    # questions from the job's ATS API
uvx moonlighter-apply prepare 42 --paste page.txt   # questions read from text you copied
uvx moonlighter-apply prepare --url https://...     # ingest a posting by URL, then prepare
uvx moonlighter-apply doctor

Every command prints one JSON document on stdout.

• The real questions — where the ATS publishes its form (Greenhouse, Recruitee, Workable, Lever), the questions, required flags and options come straight from it; InHire tells you up front which fields its form requires.
• Any other form — paste the page text and the questions are read from it; this works on any ATS, login walls included.
• Gaps instead of guesses — answers are drafted from a filtered part of your profile. A question it has no basis for comes back to you as a gap, and questions it recognises as salary, compliance or demographics are filled from your config or left for you, never answered by the model.
• A tailored CV, if you want one — a one-page LaTeX CV for the posting, its bullets chosen from a pool you wrote; bootstrap-cv drafts a first pool from your profile.
• Tracking built in — each sheet carries the application's tracking alias.

Works better with

With moonlighter-email, replies to that alias move the application forward. With moonlighter-scan, you prepare sheets straight from the scored queue.
