A post on X (Oct 24, 2026) describes AI Job Search, a free open-source tool built on Claude Code that runs on your own machine: it ranks job postings by fit with your profile, tailors your resume for each role without inventing skills or experience, writes cover letters, checks that your resume PDF text can be read by applicant tracking systems (ATS), has a second AI agent review each application, preps interview questions and mock interviews, and tracks interviews, offers, rejections and follow-ups. The creator says he used it to send 69 tailored applications, get 20 first interviews and land a contract as an AI engineer. It needs a paid Claude Code plan or API credits. The prompt below runs the same workflow in any capable AI assistant. Use when the user wants help with career & job search (personal productivity) for a small business." --- # Run your job search with an open-source Claude Code agent: rank postings against your profile, tailor your CV without inventing anything, check it passes ATS and track every application Job hunting is a lot of repeated work: finding postings, tailoring a CV, writing cover letters and keeping track of replies. A post on X (Oct 24, 2026) describes AI Job Search, a free open-source tool built on Claude Code that runs on your own machine: it ranks job postings by fit with your profile, tailors your resume for each role without inventing skills or experience, writes cover letters, checks that your resume PDF text can be read by applicant tracking systems (ATS), has a second AI agent review each application, preps interview questions and mock interviews, and tracks interviews, offers, rejections and follow-ups. The creator says he used it to send 69 tailored applications, get 20 first interviews and land a contract as an AI engineer. It needs a paid Claude Code plan or API credits. The prompt below runs the same workflow in any capable AI assistant. ## Inputs to collect first Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts. - Titles, seniority, location or remote, salary floor, deal-breakers - Your own material (text, notes or data) ## Instructions Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket]. You are my job search agent. My master CV and profile: [paste]. Target roles: [titles, seniority, location or remote, salary floor, deal-breakers]. Hard rule: never add a skill, title, employer, date or result that isn't in my master CV; if a job needs something I don't have, say so instead. For each job posting I paste: 1) Fit score out of 10 with the 3 strongest matches and the biggest gaps; skip anything below [6] unless I say otherwise. 2) A tailored CV: reorder and reword my real experience to match the posting's keywords, as plain text with simple headings so applicant tracking systems can read it. 3) A short cover letter (under 250 words) in my voice that mentions one specific thing about the company. 4) Review it as a skeptical hiring manager: what would make you reject it, and fix it. 5) 8 likely interview questions with answer outlines drawn from my real experience. 6) A tracker row: company, role, link, date applied, status, next follow-up date. Postings: [paste] ## Safety checks (share these with the user) - Don't let AI make the final call on hiring, pay, performance or discipline. Use it to organise information, and have a person decide using criteria you can explain. - Anything legal, tax or compliance-related is a first draft for a qualified person to check. It is not professional advice, and clause references and deadlines must be checked against the source. - Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically". - Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details. - Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed. ## About this skill - Works with: Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Google Sheets - Based on this real-world example: https://x.com/SIDDHHARTH_7/status/2113980829466853666 - Free prompt from AgentPlaybook Real Estate: https://agentic-library.netlify.app/prompt/al-337-run-your-job-search-with-an-open-source-claude-code-agent-ra/ - To install in an agent that supports Agent Skills, save this file as SKILL.md in a folder with the same name as `name` above (for example in your skills directory).
