Forking the Viral 700+ Job-App Tool Into a Cross-Industry Cowork Plugin

The author forked Santifer's viral open-source career-ops project (originally engineer-only) into a Claude Cowork plugin that works for any role — recruiters, marketers, ops, sales, PMs. It finds industry-specific jobs, rewrites the resume per role, and submits applications, with no dashboard to set up — plug in and go. Both the original and the fork are on GitHub

Built a cross-industry fork of santifer's career-ops as a Claude Cowork plugin

Scenario

Santifer's career-ops tool went viral for automating 700+ job applications with AI, but the codebase was implicitly engineer-only: keyword taxonomies, ATS templates, prep scripts all assumed software roles. The author works in a different field and wanted the same automation leverage — so he forked it into a cross-industry version and released it as a Claude Cowork plugin anyone can plug in and run.

💬

Prompt

Run my career-ops workflow: scan job boards for openings in my target role/industry, dedup against jobs I've already seen, rewrite my master resume for each surviving role to match the JD and pass the ATS, then submit the application via the company's portal (or draft the email if no portal). Log each submission so I can follow up.

Expected Result

The author rewrote Santifer's skill set inside Cowork to work across industries: - **Industry-aware job scan**: searches job boards for roles in the user's actual field, not just engineering - **Per-role resume rewrite**: tailors the master CV to each JD so it clears ATS filters - **Auto-submit**: fills out company portals; drafts email applications where no portal exists - **No dashboard**: runs as a Cowork plugin with nothing to configure — plug in and go **Open source:** Fork published at https://github.com/andrew-shwetzer/career-ops-plugin, built on Santifer's original https://github.com/santifer/career-ops. Anyone in recruiting, marketing, ops, sales, or PM roles can reuse it as-is.

You've probably seen Santifer's viral career-ops tool where he automated 700+ job applications, customized CVs, and tailored ATS matching. It's designed for software engineers though, so if you're in a different field it doesn't quite fit. I forked it into a Claude Cowork plugin that works for any role. Recruiters, marketers, ops, sales, PMs, whatever. - Finds jobs in your actual industry - Rewrites your resume per role - Handles apps - No dashboard to set up, just plug in and go Same core concept, I just adapted his skills to work across industries instead of just engineering.
