career

Claude Code plugin: career planning workflow — role logging, offer comparison, application tracking, and white-hat salary benchmarking, with planning/job-search/salary variants.

Part of the danielrosehill Claude Code marketplace.

What you get

Primitives (globally available once the plugin is installed)

Cluster primitives:

• /career:log-role — register a role of interest (pipeline, benchmark, or planning)
• /career:compare-offer — side-by-side offer comparison across comp / growth / fit
• /career:track-application — pipeline state updates (stage, interview, offer, rejection)
• /career:salary-benchmark — white-hat salary benchmarking

Shared workflow commands:

• /career:onboard — first-run setup per workspace variant
• /career:log-cpd — quick-log a CPD activity
• /career:skill-gap — refresh the gap analysis
• /career:find-courses / /career:find-conferences — surface candidates to close gaps
• /career:quarterly-review — dated plan-vs-actual
• /career:pipeline-status — application-pipeline rollup
• /career:research-company — public-source company brief
• /career:tailor-resume — JD-tailored resume variant (no fabrication)
• /career:cover-letter — grounded cover-letter draft
• /career:interview-prep — round-specific prep brief

Agents:

• career-strategist — multi-step planning subagent
• application-data-manager — authoritative read/write for data/processes.json

Provisioning skill

• /career:new-workspace <name> [--variant=career-planning|job-search|salary-research] [--local-only] [--private]

Scaffolds a new workspace, personalises CLAUDE.md from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and (by default) creates a GitHub repo.

Variants

• career-planning — goals, skills, CPD log, courses/certs/conferences, quarterly reviews.
• job-search — pipeline DB, company research, resume/cover-letter tailoring, interview prep.
• salary-research — role / company / landscape benchmarks, offer comparisons. White-hat only.

Pattern

Primitives live in the plugin → globally available from any cwd. Workspace scaffolds are provisioned as data → no .claude/ tree inside provisioned workspaces. Plugin updates never touch workspace data.

See PLAN.md in Claude-Workspace-Reshaping-190426 for the full pattern spec this plugin follows.

Bundled MCP servers

The plugin ships a .mcp.json declaring optional MCP servers career-os skills can use. None are installed automatically — Claude Code prompts the user to enable them when the plugin first loads.

Server	Used by	Required env vars	Notes
hunter	find-contact, outreach flow	HUNTER_API_KEY. Optional: HUNTER_MCP_COMMAND (default npx), HUNTER_MCP_PACKAGE (default hunter-mcp)	Override HUNTER_MCP_PACKAGE if you use a different Hunter MCP implementation.

Other capabilities (LinkedIn outreach, email send, transcription, calendar/tasks, semantic store) are resolved at onboard time by the detect-mcps skill, which can either reuse an MCP you already have, install a companion plugin, or — if you point it at an aggregated MCP server — index that server's tools and dispatch through it.

Aggregated MCP servers

If your MCP setup is consolidated behind a single aggregator (e.g. MCP Jungle, a personal proxy, or any router that exposes many upstream tools under one alias), you can pass that alias to /career:onboard. The tool inventory is captured to ${CAREER_DATA_DIR}/mcp-inventory.json and the resolution map prefers tools served by that aggregator before suggesting new MCP installs.

Workspace environment variable

Skills that write artifacts (CRM rows, briefs, drafts) default their output path to $CAREER_WORKSPACE, which resolves to (in order): the explicit CAREER_WORKSPACE env var, the WORKING_FOLDER field in ${CAREER_DATA_DIR}/config.json, or $PWD. Set CAREER_WORKSPACE in your shell profile to anchor career-os to a specific workspace from any cwd.

Sources absorbed

This plugin absorbs and dedupes three prior template repos:

• Claude-Career-Planning-Template → template/career-planning/ + CPD/skills/review primitives
• Claude-Job-Search-Strategist → template/job-search/ + application/resume/interview primitives + application-data-manager agent
• Claude-Salary-Research-Agent → template/salary-research/ + salary-benchmark primitive
