Eight Claude Code skills for the job hunt that refuse to invent facts about you.

About

open-career-skills is a set of eight Claude Code skills — CV optimizer, STAR story bank, 360Brew LinkedIn planner, cover letters, mock interviews, job search, git evidence miner, and ATS detective — built on one hard rule: no skill may fabricate user facts, ever. The CV optimizer asks for real figures instead of inventing metrics; the evidence miner grounds claims in work artifacts like git history. It ships as a ready-to-run career workspace with file-based memory (profile, story bank, content calendar, trackers) that you fork and keep private, or you can install individual skills standalone. The LinkedIn planner is notably well-grounded, built around 360Brew, LinkedIn's published ranking model. With 25 stars and an MIT license from the JobMentis team, it is a credible open-source companion to their hosted product — the repo is upfront that the paid tier adds scale, statefulness, and live voice interviews.
