Your job hunt in a folder you own. A kanban tracker with no cloud and no accounts, plus Claude skills that find, fit-score, and tailor — while you stay the one who applies.

A 15-minute interview builds your Job Thesis — an honest, tiered definition of what a "fit" means for you — and your Master Resume. Everything downstream follows it.
Searches job boards (daily, or on demand), dedupes against your tracker, fit-scores every role, and captures the posting text so nothing depends on links staying alive.
Resume + cover letter per role, built only from your master copy and the actual posting. Never invented, never generic. Drafts you proofread.
Checks your email for recruiter replies — on a schedule you choose, or whenever you ask — and moves cards to Phone Screen, Interviewing, or Rejected. No manual bookkeeping.
One HTML page and a tiny Python server. Atomic saves, rolling backups, optional git history. Works standalone, even without Claude.
No settings screens. "Add Otta to my scrub." "Keep cover letters under 250 words." The system is plain files and skills Claude can edit.
It never applies for you. No auto-submitting, no posting your resume to boards, no sending email on your behalf. Recruiters can tell when applications are automated — every application is you, clicking submit.
It doesn't replace your judgment. Fit scores are triage, not verdicts. Drafts are drafts — read them like anything with your signature on it.
In Claude's Cowork mode: install the plugin, create a new project with a folder, and say "set up my job tracker." That's the whole install.
Claude Code users can install from the marketplace instead:
/plugin marketplace add zaridan/job-hunt-hq /plugin install job-hunt-hq@job-hunt-hq
No Claude? The tracker board works standalone as a plain local job tracker — you manage cards by hand, without the search, scoring, or document automations. See the README.
Job Hunt HQ is MIT-licensed and improved by the people who use it. The automations are plain-English skill files, so you can contribute without writing code — better prompts, new job boards, sharper guardrails. Found something confusing? That's a contribution too: tell us in an issue, or read the very short contributing guide.
