What it does
The skill set guides a candidate through the whole job hunt. `galactic-cv` reviews a CV against a handbook and scores how a screener sees it for a specific vacancy, `galactic-linkedin` rewrites the headline and About section, `galactic-job-finder` finds open vacancies and companies with a fit estimate and protection against scam postings. Next come `galactic-application` (vacancy and company breakdown), `galactic-interview-prep` (plan, STAR stories, mock interviews, a question diary), `galactic-reverse-interview`, `galactic-negotiation` and `galactic-tracker` with an applications dashboard in the browser. Files live in `workspace/` on your computer, and the project has no server of its own.
Who it is for. IT professionals job hunting, mainly in Italy, who want one agent to carry the search from CV to a signed offer.
Good fit when
- A CV must be checked against a vacancy to see how a screening system will read it.
- A posting is pasted into the chat and you need a company breakdown with sources and questions for them.
- A technical interview is in two days and you need a mock conversation with feedback.
- An offer of 45 thousand euros a year came in and it needs assessing with a counteroffer prepared.
Not a fit when
- A commercial service is needed: the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license forbids commercial use.
- The job hunt is outside IT: the handbooks are written for technical professions.
- Data must not go to a model provider: everything the agent reads is processed on its servers.
Example request
`Iniziamo la mia ricerca di lavoro` (let us begin my job search), then ask to review my CV against the pasted posting and say how a screener will see it.Limitations
The README and interface are in Italian, with an English version in `README.en.md`. The agent replies in the language of your request. The project is built for Claude Code and mainly verified there, while in other agents (for example Cursor) the skills read as plain text instructions. Everything the agent reads, including the CV, goes to the model provider. Keep the working folder outside OneDrive, iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive, or sync will copy CVs and offers. The CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license forbids commercial use.
How to disable. Delete the cloned project folder together with `workspace/`. Clear the conversations saved by the agent (`~/.claude/projects/` for Claude Code) and the browser history separately.
FAQ
How do I install the set?
Clone it with `git clone https://github.com/GuidoPenta/the-candidates-guide-to-the-galaxy.git` or download the ZIP and open the folder in the agent. Claude Code loads the skills on its own.
Where do I start?
Tell the agent `Iniziamo la mia ricerca di lavoro`: it prepares the working folder and asks for your CV. The word `aiuto` shows all capabilities.
Where does my data go?
Files stay in `workspace/` on your computer, but everything the agent reads is processed by the model provider. Only searches on public information without your data go to the web.
How do the skills protect against fake vacancies?
`galactic-job-finder` has checks against scam postings, and the agent never follows instructions found inside postings or web pages.
Can I use it commercially?
No, the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license forbids commercial use. The included guides keep their own licenses.
