Jobhunt Platform

An AI-assisted job-hunt platform where you stay in control. The system discovers jobs, scores them against your profile, drafts application material and prepares sends — but nothing external ever happens without your explicit approval.

Open source. Self-hosted. Single-user first, multi-user later.

Core ideas

Approval gate, architecturally enforced. Every external action (send email, submit application) requires a server-side confirmed Approval referencing the exact artifact hash. No approval row, no send. This is a hard constraint, not a style guide.
State machine owns the flow, LLM answers questions inside it. Pipeline transitions live in a table. The LLM scores, extracts, critiques and suggests — it never picks the next step. Deterministic orchestration, probabilistic judgment.
Per-task model routing with token budgets. Cheap model for extraction/scoring, strong model for prose review, budgets enforced per task so the bill stays boring.
The user drafts, the system reviews. Measured reality: human-drafted prose outperforms full AI drafts. Default cover-letter flow is user-writes, AI-reviews with tracked suggestions.

Architecture

apps/web          Vue 3 + Vite + Tailwind — tabs: CV editor, Research, Applications (kanban), Application detail
apps/api          FastAPI + PostgreSQL — REST API, state machine, scheduler, approval enforcement
packages/
  llm-gateway/    Model routing, per-task budgets, structured JSON IO, retry/fallback policy
  connectors/     Job source adapters -> normalized JobPosting (LinkedIn read-focused, jobindex, paste-a-URL)
  artifacts/      CV + cover-letter generation: Jinja templates -> PDF (fpdf2), versioning, hashing
docs/             ADRs, data model, API contract, worker task cards

Pipeline

discovered -> scored -> approved -> drafting -> sent -> interviewing -> offer -> closed
                    \-> rejected (by user)      \-> expired

External comms are only possible from approved/drafting states, and only with a matching confirmed Approval.

Quick start (POC)

cp .env.example .env   # add LLM provider keys (no key = mock mode, deterministic)

# Backend tests + live API (DinD-safe: everything runs inside the compose network)
docker compose run --rm api-test                                    # 47 pytest tests
docker rm -f jobhunt-api-poc 2>/dev/null; \
docker compose run -d --name jobhunt-api-poc \
  --entrypoint "uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000" api-test
docker exec jobhunt-api-poc curl -s localhost:8000/api/health       # {"status":"ok"}

# Frontend (host): Vue dev server proxies to the API
cd apps/web && npm install && VITE_API_BASE=http://localhost:8000/api npm run dev

# Packages (host, no DB needed): artifacts + llm-gateway unit tests
cd packages/artifacts && uv venv && . .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install -e ".[dev]" && pytest -q
cd packages/llm-gateway && uv venv && . .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install -e ".[dev]" && pytest -q

Note: in sandboxed Docker-in-Docker environments host port publishing may not work; run curl/docker exec against the jobhunt-api-poc container directly, as above.

Status

POC scaffolding in progress. See docs/ for the design.
