What it does

Help is an agent skill from andrew-shwetzer/career-ops-plugin-do-not-fork-currently-updating-v2-. See all available career-ops skills, what they do, and which one to use next based on where you are in your job search. Use when someone says 'help', 'what can you do', 'how does this work', or seems unsure what to do next.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Job search and resumes. The repository describes itself as: Claude Cowork plugin for job seekers. 9 AI skills: evaluate job postings, generate ATS-optimized resumes, scan company career portals, track applications, draft outreach. Works… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says help
  • What can you do
  • How does this work
  • Seems unsure what to do next

Example prompts

  • “what can you do”
  • “how does this work”
  • “/help”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check State
  2. Show Skill Directory
  3. Smart Suggestion
  4. Workflow Overview (if user asks "how does this work")

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae447d7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Help loads about 868 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~868

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

career-ops Help

Guide the user through available skills based on where they are in their job search.

Step 0: Check State

Read data/profile.yml - does it exist? Read data/applications.md - how many entries? Glob data/evaluations/*.md - how many evaluations? Glob data/resumes/*.html - how many resumes?

Step 1: Show Skill Directory

If the user asked about a specific skill, show detailed help for that skill. Otherwise show the full directory:

## career-ops - Your Job Search Copilot

| Skill | What It Does | Try Saying |
|---|---|---|
| **evaluate** | Score a job posting against your background (A-F blocks) | "Evaluate this job posting" |
| **tailor-resume** | Generate an ATS-optimized resume for a specific role | "Tailor my resume for the Acme role" |
| **scan** | Search company career portals for matching openings | "Scan Google for jobs" |
| **triage** | Quick-score your pipeline of scan results | "Triage my pipeline" |
| **track** | View and update your application tracker | "Show my applications" |
| **apply** | Help fill out application forms | "Help me with this application" |
| **research** | Deep-dive a company before applying or interviewing | "Research Stripe" |
| **outreach** | Draft LinkedIn/email messages to contacts | "Draft outreach to the hiring manager" |
| **compare** | Side-by-side comparison of opportunities | "Compare my top options" |

**Commands:**
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
| **setup** | Set up or update your profile |
| **quick-eval** | Fast score + one paragraph (no full report) |

Step 2: Smart Suggestion

Based on the user's current state, suggest the most valuable next action:

No profile:

"Start here: paste your resume or tell me about yourself so I can evaluate jobs for you."

Profile exists, no evaluations:

"You're all set! Paste a job posting (URL or text) and I'll evaluate how well you match."

Has evaluations, no resumes:

"You have {n} evaluations. Your top match is {company} - {role} ({score}/5.0). Want me to tailor a resume for it?"

Has resumes, none applied:

"You have resumes ready for {n} roles. Ready to apply? Say 'help me with the {company} application' and I'll generate your form answers."

Has applications:

"You have {n} active applications. Say 'show my applications' for a status overview, or 'update {company} to {status}' to track progress."

Has interviews:

"You have interviews coming up! Say 'research {company}' to prepare."

Step 3: Workflow Overview (if user asks "how does this work")

## The career-ops Workflow

1. **Set up** your profile (one time, 5 minutes)
   ↓
2. **Evaluate** job postings (paste a JD, get an honest A-F assessment)
   ↓
3. **Tailor** your resume for the best matches
   ↓
4. **Apply** with personalized form answers
   ↓
5. **Track** your applications and follow up

**Discovery tools** (use anytime):
- **Scan** company career pages for new openings
- **Research** companies before interviews
- **Outreach** to contacts at target companies
- **Compare** multiple opportunities side by side
