  The one skill that routes every mode

  Loads when you paste a job link or ask for a career-ops mode, then hands you to the right mode. All the modes above are arguments of this one skill, not separate commands.

• Installs packages and creates your data folder

  Runs node scripts/claude-plugin-session-start.mjs at the start of a session. If package.json changed it runs npm install with scripts turned off, links node_modules and creates ~/career-ops-data. Silent otherwise.

  Runs code · SessionStart hook

Watch out for

• A SessionStart hook runs npm install

  When the session starts, the hook runs node scripts/claude-plugin-session-start.mjs. If package.json changed, it runs npm install with scripts turned off into the plugin data folder (up to 5 minutes), then creates ~/career-ops-data. github.com

• Optional scans can run every 15 minutes

  If you install scheduled scans, a LaunchAgent, crontab line or Windows task runs a saved scan until you run the uninstall script. github.com

• Gmail, Notion and Apify add-ons need keys

  They are off by default. Turn one on only if you want it, and give it a key with the least access it needs. github.com

• The CV check can miss invented claims

  A fact check blocks PDFs with facts missing from your CV, but it can miss a made-up employer in some sentences. Read every CV before you send it. github.com

• Your CV goes to your AI provider

  Job text and the parts of your CV it evaluates go to the model you use. The author collects nothing. github.com

• It opens job pages in a local browser

  Playwright runs a headless Chromium on your machine for PDFs and live-posting checks. Board scans fetch public listings and do not send your CV. github.com
