# ai-job-search

> Open-source Claude Code framework that searches jobs, tailors resumes, and prepares interviews.

An open-source job application assistant running locally on top of Claude Code CLI. It scrapes job boards, scores postings against your candidate profile, drafts and critiques tailored LaTeX CVs and cover letters via a dual-agent workflow, and generates stage-specific interview prep. It also compiles PDFs locally, verifying both visual layout constraints and ATS-extractable text.
