# 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
1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **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.
4. **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)
```bash
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.

Screenshots will be added here as the UI stabilizes.
