Job Evaluate

The single-shot demo. Paste a URL, get a structured evaluation + PDF resume + tracker row out the other side. Career-ops calls this "auto-pipeline." This is what makes a recruiter say "wait, this thing is real."

Repo location

$AI_JOB_AGENT_ROOT → ~/.claude/skills/ai-job-agent/ → REPO_PATH marker file → ~/ai-job-agent/.

Prerequisites

1. config/candidate-profile.md exists (run /job-setup first if not)
2. cv.md exists at the repo root, OR a resume PDF path in linkedin-config.json that we can extract from
3. Playwright Chromium installed (npx playwright install chromium once) — needed for PDF generation

If any prereq is missing, fail with a clear message and stop. Don't half-run.

Workflow

Step 1 — Fetch and parse the JD

WebFetch "$URL"

Extract:

• Company (from URL host or page title)
• Role title (h1 / job title heading)
• Posted date (look for "Posted N days ago" / explicit ISO date)
• Location (city + remote/hybrid/onsite signal)
• Required skills (the bulleted "Requirements" / "Qualifications" section)
• Nice-to-haves (separate list if present)
• Compensation range (if disclosed)
• Recruiter / hiring manager name (if named)
• ATS platform (host: linkedin.com → LinkedIn Easy Apply; boards.greenhouse.io → Greenhouse; jobs.lever.co → Lever; etc.)

If the JD is behind auth (LinkedIn often is) or the fetch failed, ask the user to paste the JD text directly.

Step 2 — Score across A-G blocks (rubric from /job-coach)

Each block scores 0-5. Reference the rubric in /job-coach's SKILL.md if you need the exact definitions. Use the candidate's config/candidate-profile.md + config/search-plan.md (if it exists) to inform B/C/D.

For E (personalization angle) and F (interview signal), do additional research:

WebSearch "<Company> hiring intern review Glassdoor"
WebSearch "<Company> interview process site:reddit.com OR site:teamblind.com"
WebSearch "<Company> recent news 2026"

Cite sources for E and F in the eval (1 link each is enough — the user can drill in). Don't make up signal.

For G (legitimacy), check:

• Posted date ≤ 30 days
• A real reqID / job number is shown
• The company has other recent reqs (not a single ghost listing)
• The recruiter is reachable (LinkedIn search by name)

Step 3 — Render the eval in chat

🎯 Evaluation: <Role> at <Company>

Headline fit: 4.3 / 5.0  (apply candidate)

| Block | Score | Why |
|-------|:-----:|-----|
| A. Role match     | 5/5 | "Substation Engineering Intern" exact match to your primary archetype |
| B. CV match       | 4/5 | All required skills present (CAD, SCADA, Python). Missing: PSCAD (mentioned in your interests, not on resume — bring up in cover letter) |
| C. Level fit      | 5/5 | Intern, Summer 2026 — exact match |
| D. Compensation   | 4/5 | $24-32/hr disclosed, above your $21 floor |
| E. Personalization| 5/5 | Their VP Paul Young recently spoke at IEEE PES — cite his keynote in cold email |
| F. Interview      | 4/5 | Glassdoor shows 4.1, mostly technical-on-substations questions, no leetcode. 2 candidates report "fair, conversational" |
| G. Legitimacy     | 4/5 | Posted 7 days ago, reqID iC-2026-1842, full team named on careers page |

Recommended next move: /job-apply (Greenhouse, dry-run first)

- G: https://careers.ameren.com/...

Step 4 — Write the structured report

Append to reports/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<company-slug>-<role-slug>.md. Use this exact structure (matches career-ops's report shape):

---
title: <Role> at <Company>
company: <Company>
role: <Role>
url: <URL>
posted: <ISO date>
fit_score: 4.3
fit_breakdown: { A: 5, B: 4, C: 5, D: 4, E: 5, F: 4, G: 4 }
evaluated_at: <ISO timestamp>
status: evaluated
---

## TL;DR
<1-paragraph summary: why this is or isn't a fit>

## Block A — Role match
<details>

## Block B — CV match
<details>

... (one section per block)

## Sources
- <each link cited above>

## Recommended next move
<one of: /job-apply, /job-outreach, /job-cv first then /job-apply, skip>

Create the reports/ directory if it doesn't exist. Gitignored (add reports/ to .gitignore if not already).

Step 5 — Generate tailored PDF CV

If the recommended move involves applying (not skip), automatically chain into /job-cv to produce a tailored PDF for this specific role. Pass the JD context so /job-cv knows what to optimize for.

If the user explicitly says "skip CV" or the role is below 3.0/5.0 fit, skip Step 5.

Step 6 — Append tracker row

Append to application-tracker.csv with status evaluated (not applied yet — the user hasn't actually applied; this is the evaluated stage):

notes should include the fit score, e.g. "fit 4.3/5.0; report at reports/2026-04-26-ameren-substation-intern.md".

If the role scored ≥ 4.0, also offer to chain immediately into /job-apply <url> so the user can hit the actual application form right after evaluating.

Step 7 — Final summary card

Rules

• Never fabricate scores. If you can't find a signal for a block (e.g. no Glassdoor data for an obscure UZ company), score it 3 (neutral) and say "no signal" in the breakdown — do not invent.
• Always cite sources for E, F, G. The user should be able to click a link and verify.
• Don't auto-apply. This skill stops at "evaluated"; chaining into /job-apply is the user's explicit next step.
• One JD per invocation. For batch evaluation, the user can run /job-evaluate repeatedly or use /job-coach which produces a slate.
• If a row for this URL already exists in the tracker, ask before re-evaluating: "Already evaluated 2026-04-15. Re-score? (y/n)"

Related

• /job-coach — produces a slate of candidates; /job-evaluate deep-dives one of them.
• /job-cv — tailored PDF generation; chained into automatically when fit ≥ 4.0.
• /job-apply — actual form-filling; the natural next step after a positive eval.
• /job-outreach — if the eval surfaces a named hiring manager and recommends cold email instead of (or alongside) the form.
