moonlighter
The job-application assistant that leaves the last word to you.
moonlighter scans the job boards you choose, scores each posting against your profile, and drafts a complete answer sheet from your own data, flagging what it can't answer. It never opens the form and never clicks submit: you review the sheet, paste it, and send it yourself.
Start
uvx moonlighter # the MCP server, for Claude Code
uvx moonlighter init # a short wizard that writes config.yaml
Register it in Claude Code, then talk to it: "scan my companies", "what's new above 7?", "prepare the application for job 42". Setup, configuration and every tool are in the docs.
What you get
- A scored queue — seven ATS platforms plus optional portals, each posting scored 0–10 against your profile and hard filters, with the reasoning kept.
- One sheet per application — every question the form asks, answered from your profile; a question it has no basis for comes back to you as a gap instead of a guess. 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 per posting, chosen from bullets you wrote.
- Replies that find their application — each sheet carries a tracking alias, and Gmail replies to it move that application forward.
- An answer bank — once an application is marked sent, its answers are offered again when the same question comes back.
What's inside
This package pins the four slices below in lockstep and adds the MCP server, the moonlighter init wizard and the Claude Code plugin manifest. Every slice also installs alone, with a command-line tool that prints JSON — see what each install gives you.
| Package | What it is |
|---|---|
| moonlighter | ← you are here — everything below, plus the MCP server for Claude — start here |
| moonlighter-core | Storage, config, profile and the LLM client every slice shares |
| moonlighter-scan | Finds postings on seven ATS platforms and scores them against your profile |
| moonlighter-apply | Drafts the paste-ready answer sheet for one posting |
| moonlighter-email | Matches employer replies in Gmail back to each application |
moonlighter runs locally and calls your LLM; there is no moonlighter server or account. Your pipeline is a SQLite file under ~/.moonlighter.
