career-ops

Open-source AI job search agent: scans job portals, evaluates listings into a structured report with a human-in-the-loop scoring rubric, tailors CVs and tracks applications. Runs locally in the user's AI coding CLI with their own API key; no server ever touches their data. Permanently free and MIT-licensed by design: everything runs locally, so there is nothing to paywall. 72,400+ GitHub stars, 13,600+ forks, 409 contributors with 1,610 merged pull requests, and 4,800+ community members; ~9,700 npm installs in the last month (npm package launched June 2026); new contributors joined at 19, 77, 97 and 101 per month from May through August (all counted 22 Sep 2026). In a domain dominated by proprietary, server-side products, career-ops is the open alternative: anyone can run, audit or self-host it, and the user's data never leaves their machine.
