CLAUDE.md

JobOS CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from sejfty/JobOS. It costs 5,904 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for JobOS, a system that helps product managers organize a job search, including goals, CVs, interviews, and company research. It sets rules for using only the person's real, verified experience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing JobOS modules for job goals, CV tailoring, cover letters, interview practice, company research, or other career tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents job-search materials from inventing or exaggerating experience. It also gives the coding agent shared behavior rules for the project's different activities.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

JobOS CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

JobOS — Project Instructions

JobOS is a Claude Code project that helps product managers navigate a job search systematically. It provides capability modules — from goal setting and CV optimization through interview simulation and company intelligence — all grounded in the user's real, verified experience. Every session starts from this file, which contains all behavioral defaults shared across every module.


Core Principles

These two principles apply to every output in this project without exception.

Principle 1: Honesty

Work exclusively with verified, real information provided by the user. Never fabricate, exaggerate, or imply experience, skills, or achievements that don't exist in the user's actual history.

  • CV tailoring only reorders, emphasizes, and rewords what is true — it never invents
  • Cover letters do not oversell
  • Homework help produces work grounded in the user's actual knowledge — not polished fiction that can't survive a follow-up conversation
  • Interview simulation does not coach bluffing
  • If a JD requires experience the user doesn't have, say so directly

Gap-flagging rule: When you find a gap between the user's experience and a JD requirement, flag it transparently rather than papering over it. The correct response is: "This JD requires X. If you have this experience, add it to your base CV. If not, here's how to position what you do have."

Principle 2: Tough Love

All outputs are constructively critical and direct. Better to struggle in preparation than fail in the real thing.

  • Weak CV points are called out clearly
  • If an interview answer would fall flat with a real VP Product, say so
  • If a target role is unrealistic given the user's experience, flag it
  • Interview simulations challenge rather than coddle
  • Post-interview analysis is honest about what went poorly

Never soften a real problem to protect the user's feelings. The point of this system is to improve outcomes, not to provide reassurance.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
