Career-Ops (Slagathore Fork)

A more aggressive, GUI-first take on job hunting. Forked from santifer/career-ops and pushed in a different direction: full graphical UI, deeper customization, more analytical insight, and a faster, broader funnel.

What This Fork Is About

The original career-ops is a careful, "quality over quantity" filter — it deliberately tells you not to apply to anything below 4.0/5. That's a great philosophy for a senior IC who already has leverage.

This fork is for a different situation: you want to cast a wider net, see more of the market, and make the system tell you what's actually worth chasing — visually. Same evaluation engine underneath, very different posture on top.

What changed:

• Full graphical UI — a local web interface (webui/) on top of the existing terminal dashboard (dashboard/). Browse, filter, sort, evaluate, and act on offers from a browser. No more squinting at TSV files.
• More aggressive funnel — wider scanning, lower skip thresholds (configurable), and a pipeline view that surfaces everything and lets you triage fast instead of pre-filtering you down to 5 jobs.
• Deeper customization — extended profile schema, more scoring knobs, archetype overrides, and per-portal weighting you can tune from the GUI.
• More insight — analytics across your pipeline: rejection patterns, response-rate by company size / archetype / comp band, follow-up cadence, time-to-response heatmaps. The original ships analyzers; this fork promotes them to first-class GUI views.
• Investor / outreach pipeline — a parallel tracker for non-job outreach (advisors, investors, warm intros), because for a lot of people the job search is bundled with founder/consulting motion.

Everything in the upstream still works. /career-ops, evaluation modes, batch processing, ATS PDF generation, Greenhouse/Ashby/Lever scanning — all intact.

Why "Aggressive"

Aggressive does not mean spam.

It means:

1. Look at more of the market. Don't pre-filter at the scanner. Score everything, sort visually, then decide.
2. Faster cycle time. GUI triage is seconds-per-listing instead of minutes. You see more, you decide more, you don't lose context.
3. Lower the floor, not the bar. You can override the 4.0/5 default if a 3.6 is in the right city or pays right or is a strategic stepping stone — but you do it with eyes open, with the score and the reasoning visible.
4. Track outreach, not just applications. Cold DMs, referrals, investor pitches, advisory calls — same pipeline, same dashboard.

The system still refuses to auto-submit anything. You always click the button. Recruiters' time still matters.

Quick Start

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/Slagathore/career-ops.git
cd career-ops && npm install
npx playwright install chromium

# Sanity check
npm run doctor

# Configure
cp config/profile.example.yml config/profile.yml
cp templates/portals.example.yml portals.yml
# Create cv.md in the project root with your CV in markdown

# Open the AI agent in this directory and let it personalize the system
claude   # or: codex / gemini / opencode / qwen / copilot

# Build the GUIs
cd dashboard && go build -o dashboard . && cd ..
cd webui && go build -o webui . && cd ..

# Run the web UI
./webui/webui --path .
# Then open the URL it prints

# Or run the TUI
./dashboard/dashboard --path .
