career-ops -- Router

career-ops is a multi-CLI job-search command center. The routing below is shared across supported agent CLIs even when the invocation surface differs.

Invocation Notes

• CLIs with slash-command registration can expose this router as /career-ops.
• Interactive Codex sessions use codex in the repo root. Slash commands are not guaranteed in Codex, so ask Codex to run the same mode by name if /career-ops is unavailable.
• Headless Codex workers use codex exec "prompt".
• The routing semantics below stay the same regardless of whether the entrypoint is a slash command or a natural-language prompt.

Codex prompt examples that map to the same router semantics:

Evaluate this JD with career-ops auto-pipeline: https://company.com/jobs/123
Run the career-ops scan mode and summarize new matches.
Run the career-ops pipeline mode for data/pipeline.md.
Run the career-ops pdf mode for the latest evaluated role.
Run the career-ops tracker mode and summarize the current statuses.

Mode Routing

Determine the mode from $mode:

Input	Mode
(empty / no args)	discovery -- Show command menu
JD text or URL (no sub-command)	auto-pipeline
oferta	oferta
ofertas	ofertas
contacto	contacto
deep	deep
interview-prep	interview-prep
interview	interview
eu-swe	regional/eu-swe
interview/plan	interview/plan
interview/practice	interview/practice
interview/debrief	interview/debrief
pdf	pdf
latex	latex
latex-tex	latex-tex
email	email
training	training
project	project
tracker	tracker
agent-inbox	agent-inbox
inbox	agent-inbox
pipeline	pipeline
apply	apply
scan	scan
batch	batch
patterns	patterns
offer-prep	offer-prep
titles	titles
upskill	upskill
followup	followup
update	update
cover	cover
add	add

Auto-pipeline detection: If $mode is not a known sub-command AND contains JD text (keywords: "responsibilities", "requirements", "qualifications", "about the role", "we're looking for", company name + role) or a URL to a JD, execute auto-pipeline.

If $mode is not a sub-command AND doesn't look like a JD, show discovery.

Output Language Directive

Before executing any mode, read config/profile.yml if it exists and resolve:

• language.output → ISO language code for human-facing output. Default: en.
• language.modes_dir → optional market-mode directory. This controls market vocabulary and local evaluation rules only.

Inject this directive after loading the mode instructions and before producing any user-visible content:

Write all human-facing output in {language.output} regardless of the language of these instructions or of the job description. This includes reports, tracker notes, PDFs, cover letters, outreach, interview prep, form answers, and summaries. If language.modes_dir supplies market-specific vocabulary, keep the market logic but explain terms in {language.output} when needed.

language.output is authoritative for prose. modes_dir is market context; it must not force the prose language.

Discovery Mode (no arguments)

If your CLI supports /career-ops, show this menu. In Codex, surface the same options in plain text and map the requested mode the same way.

Concrete equivalents for Codex prompt-driven sessions:

/career-ops {JD}           ↔ "Evaluate this JD with career-ops auto-pipeline: {JD or URL}"
/career-ops scan           ↔ "Run the career-ops scan mode and summarize new matches."
/career-ops pipeline       ↔ "Run the career-ops pipeline mode for data/pipeline.md."
/career-ops pdf            ↔ "Run the career-ops pdf mode for the latest evaluated role."
/career-ops email          ↔ "Run the career-ops email mode for the latest evaluated role."
/career-ops tracker        ↔ "Run the career-ops tracker mode and summarize the current statuses."

Context Loading by Mode

After determining the mode, load the necessary files before executing:

If modes/_custom.md exists, read it after modes/_profile.md and before the selected mode file. It contains user house rules and procedural preferences. It may override workflow/style defaults, but it never adds factual claims about the candidate.

Modes that require _shared.md + their mode file

Read modes/_shared.md + modes/_profile.md (if exists) + modes/_custom.md (if exists) + modes/{mode}.md

Applies to: auto-pipeline, oferta, ofertas, pdf, contacto, apply, pipeline, scan, batch

Standalone modes with profile and custom context

Read modes/_profile.md (if exists) + modes/_custom.md (if exists) + modes/{mode}.md

Applies to: tracker, agent-inbox, deep, interview-prep, interview, regional/eu-swe, interview/plan, interview/practice, interview/debrief, latex, latex-tex, training, project, patterns, titles, upskill, followup, cover, email, add, offer-prep

Modes delegated to subagent

For scan, apply (with Playwright), and pipeline (3+ URLs): launch as a worker/subagent with the content of _shared.md + _profile.md (if exists) + _custom.md (if exists) + modes/{mode}.md injected into the worker prompt. If your CLI exposes an Agent(...) primitive, the call looks like this:

Agent(
  subagent_type="general-purpose",
  prompt="[output language directive]\n\n[content of modes/_shared.md]\n\n[content of modes/_profile.md if exists]\n\n[content of modes/_custom.md if exists]\n\n[content of modes/{mode}.md]\n\n[invocation-specific data]",
  description="career-ops {mode}"
)

Execute the instructions from the loaded mode file.
