career-ops was built by santifer with Claude Code as its brain. He ran his own search through it: 740 job posts evaluated, 68 applications, 12 interview processes, 1 offer (Head of Applied AI). Then he open-sourced it, and it is past 74,000 stars on GitHub.

What it does (from the README)

  • Still open? It checks the posting is live before you write a word.
  • Not you? It scores the role against your real CV and tells you to skip a weak fit. It will not push you to apply below 4.0/5 (you can override it).
  • Worth it? It tailors an ATS-readable CV PDF, drafts a cover letter and the answer to every application field.
  • Who to talk to? It finds the hiring manager or recruiter and drafts a short LinkedIn note. It never sends it.
  • Scan mode checks 100+ pre-configured company job boards (Anthropic, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Retool, n8n and more) for new roles.
  • Everything stays on your machine: no telemetry, no backend. Your CV only goes to the AI you use.

Get Claude to Estimate Your IQ From Your Own Chats: Set Up the Free /iq Skill
Ask Claude what your IQ is and it dodges the question and says IQ does not matter. This free Claude Code skill answers it from your own past chats instead: two readers each score how fast you spot patterns and how many steps ahead you plan, a small calculator turns that into one IQ number and where it sits among everyone else, and the report quotes the exact chats that raised your score and the ones that dragged it down. A fun estimate, not a test. The whole skill to paste in, ready-made prompts, and what an answer looks like
