In simple English

This tool runs your job hunt from your own computer. It reads your work history and matches you with open jobs. It writes a custom CV and cover letter for each job you want. It also helps you practice for interviews with real questions. You need a subscription or paid credits for the AI assistant to run it.

What it is

A command-line framework that turns Claude Code (an assistant tool that runs in your terminal) into a full job search manager. It handles searching job portals, scoring your fit, and compiling tailored LaTeX documents into clean PDFs.

What it is good for

Job seekers who want to automate the tedious parts of writing cover letters and tailoring CVs without uploading their personal career data to a closed website.
