career-ops -- Router

career-ops is a multi-CLI job-search command center. The routing below is shared across supported agent CLIs even when the invocation surface differs.

Project Root Resolution

This catalog ships a docs-only router. Do not require the upstream modes/, config/, or data/ tree. Use the routing table and discovery menu below. For the full Node runtime (PDF, portal scans, Playwright), clone career-ops-hq/career-ops.

Mode Routing

Determine the mode from $mode:

Auto-pipeline detection: If $mode is not a known sub-command AND contains JD text (keywords: "responsibilities", "requirements", "qualifications", "about the role", "we're looking for", company name + role) or a URL to a JD, execute auto-pipeline.

If $mode is not a sub-command AND doesn't look like a JD, show discovery.

Output Language Directive

Before executing any mode, read config/profile.yml if it exists and resolve:

• language.output → ISO language code for human-facing output. Default: en.
• language.modes_dir → optional market-mode directory. This controls market vocabulary and local evaluation rules only.

Inject this directive after loading the mode instructions and before producing any user-visible content:

Write all human-facing output in {language.output} regardless of the language of these instructions or of the job description. This includes reports, tracker notes, PDFs, cover letters, outreach, interview prep, form answers, and summaries. If language.modes_dir supplies market-specific vocabulary, keep the market logic but explain terms in {language.output} when needed.

language.output is authoritative for prose. modes_dir is market context; it must not force the prose language.

Discovery Mode (no arguments)

If your CLI supports /career-ops, show this menu. In Codex, surface the same options in plain text and map the requested mode the same way.

Concrete equivalents for Codex prompt-driven sessions:

/career-ops {JD}           ↔ "Evaluate this JD with career-ops auto-pipeline: {JD or URL}"
/career-ops scan           ↔ "Run the career-ops scan mode and summarize new matches."
/career-ops pipeline       ↔ "Run the career-ops pipeline mode for data/pipeline.md."
/career-ops pdf            ↔ "Run the career-ops pdf mode for the latest evaluated role."
/career-ops email          ↔ "Run the career-ops email mode for the latest evaluated role."
/career-ops tracker        ↔ "Run the career-ops tracker mode and summarize the current statuses."

Context Loading by Mode

Docs-only bundle: do not read modes/*.md from disk. Follow the routing table and mode summaries in this skill using general agent capabilities.

When to Use

• The user pastes a job URL or description, asks to scan portals, tailor a CV, track applications, prep for interviews, or run another career-ops mode.

Limitations

• Docs-only import: the upstream runtime helpers are not bundled, so modes that depend on them need the user's own installation.
• Portal scans are read-only; never submit applications, send outreach, or share personal data without explicit per-action approval.
• Job-market advice is general information, not professional career counseling.

Example

Evaluate this job description against my profile and list matched and missing requirements.
