A Claude Code plugin for AI-powered job searching, resume tailoring, and cover letter writing.

Skills

Skill	Command	Description
Setup	/cowork:setup	One-time onboarding: resume, preferences, LinkedIn contacts, and work history interview
Job Search	/cowork:job-search	Search all job boards, return top 10 matches with tailored resumes
Tailor Resume	/cowork:tailor-resume	Create tailored resumes for specific job postings
Cover Letter	/cowork:cover-letter	Write natural, persuasive cover letters
App Questions	/cowork:app-questions	Help answer application questions tailored to each role
Network Scan	/cowork:network-scan	Scan your contacts' companies for matching job openings

How They Work Together

1. /cowork:setup uploads your resume, configures preferences, imports LinkedIn contacts, and conducts a work history interview (one-time)
2. /cowork:job-search searches all supported boards, returns the top 10 matches with a tailored resume for each — ready for you to apply by hand
3. /cowork:tailor-resume rewrites your resume for a specific job posting (also done automatically by job-search)
4. /cowork:cover-letter last writes a cover letter using the most recent job's posting and tailored resume
5. /cowork:app-questions last helps you answer application form questions, saving each Q&A for reuse across applications
6. /cowork:network-scan scans your LinkedIn contacts' companies for matching openings (leverages your network for warm intros)

All skills share a ~/.cowork/ directory for personal files. Each job application gets its own folder containing the posting, tailored resume, cover letter, and application Q&A.
