JobOps - Intelligence-Driven Career Management Plugins

Version 2.16.0 | Changelog | Why I Built This

Two Claude Code and Codex plugins for systematic, intelligence-driven career management — from resume development to independent consulting.

Quick Start

Claude Code

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add reggiechan74/JobOps
# Install the core plugin
/plugin install jobops@jobops-marketplace
# Initialize your workspace
/jobops:setup
# Optional: install the independent contractor add-on
/plugin install jobops-ic@jobops-marketplace
/jobops-ic:setup

Codex

# Add the marketplace
codex plugin marketplace add reggiechan74/JobOps
# Install the core plugin
codex plugin add jobops@jobops-marketplace
# Optional: install the independent contractor add-on
codex plugin add jobops-ic@jobops-marketplace

After installation, start a new Codex session and invoke jobops:setup through Codex's explicit skill/plugin invocation surface. If you installed jobops-ic, run jobops-ic:setup after the core setup completes.

Building Your Career Inventory

Every /jobops:* skill that produces resumes, assessments, or interview prep reads from a structured career inventory in your resume_source directory (default: ResumeSourceFolder/). The inventory is a collection of markdown files with YAML frontmatter — one file per role, credential, or technology anchor — that serves as the single source of truth for everything the plugins generate. The deeper and more specific this inventory, the less the plugins have to guess; the less they guess, the less fabrication ends up in your output.

If you're building your inventory from scratch, start here:

Doc	What it covers
comprehensive_work_history_FAQ.md	Why a comprehensive master inventory exists — the anti-hallucination rationale and how it differs from a 2-page resume
Master_Resume_Comprehensive_Setup_Guide.md	How to structure the inventory — documentation frameworks for experience, credentials, skills, projects, and development
Guides/Experience_Template.md	Frontmatter + section scaffold for an individual role file under ResumeSourceFolder/Experience/
Guides/CareerHighlight_Template.md	Template for certifications, publications, and non-role highlights under ResumeSourceFolder/CareerHighlights/
Guides/TechnologyMatrix_Template.md	Template for technology anchor files under ResumeSourceFolder/Technology/
Guides/Metadata_Standards.md	YAML frontmatter conventions shared across all inventory files
Guides/Maintenance_Checklist.md	What to update when you add a new role, certification, or tech anchor

The folder names (Experience/, CareerHighlights/, Technology/) and the frontmatter shape are what every skill in the jobops plugin expects when it reads resume_source.

Configuration

Workspace Setup

Running /jobops:setup creates a .jobops/ directory in your workspace:

.jobops/
config.json # Directory paths and template settings
templates/
default/ # Plugin-provided templates (read-only by convention)
custom/ # Your custom template overrides

Template Customization

1. Copy a default template to custom/: cp .jobops/templates/default/assessment_rubric_framework.md .jobops/templates/custom/
2. Edit the custom version
3. Update .jobops/config.json to point to "custom" for that template

Directory Configuration

All output directories are configurable via .jobops/config.json. Default paths:

Key	Default	Purpose
resume_source	./ResumeSourceFolder	Master HAM-Z career data (input)
job_postings	./Job_Postings	Target job descriptions (input)
applications_root	./Applications	Per-application output tree — one folder per application, with fixed resume/, cover-letter/, assessment/, interview/ subfolders
company_intelligence	./Company_Intelligence	OSINT output tree — one folder per company, shared across applications
career_analysis	./Career_Analysis	Career-level outputs (idealjob, comparejobs, change-one-thing)
crisis_management	./Crisis_Management	Crisis-skill outputs (severance, non-compete, etc.)
contractor_root	./Contractor	jobops-ic outputs; added by /jobops-ic:setup

Candidate Configuration

/jobops:setup also collects your contact details into config.candidate. The resume and cover-letter flows source the document header from this block so both render an identical contact line. Any field may be left blank — blank fields are omitted from the header along with their separator, never invented or fused onto an adjacent field.

Key	Example	Purpose
name	Jane Doe	Full name (header line 1)
credentials	CFA, FRICS	Post-nominals after the name (blank if none)
location	Toronto, ON	City/region (header line 2)
phone	(555) 555-1234	Its own header field; never concatenated onto the email
email	jane.doe@example.com	Contact email
linkedin	linkedin.com/in/janedoe	LinkedIn handle or URL
github	github.com/janedoe	GitHub handle or URL (blank if none)

The header renders as {name}, {credentials} on the first line and {location} | {phone} | {email} | LinkedIn: {linkedin} | GitHub: {github} on the second, with empty fields dropped cleanly.
