Folio

Turn Claude Code into your job-application system. You fill in one file of verified facts about your career; Claude tailors an honest resume and a deeply-researched cover letter for every posting, in a clean design that prints straight to PDF. No coding required.

Get started

Get Claude Code

Download it at claude.com/claude-code. You'll sign in with a Claude account (Pro or Max plan, or an API key).

Get the kit

Open Terminal (press ⌘-space, type "Terminal") and paste:

git clone https://github.com/alphonsowoodbury/folio.git ~/career

If your Mac asks to install developer tools, click Install — that's normal.

Let Claude set you up

Paste this, then just answer Claude's questions:

cd ~/career && claude "set me up"

Claude interviews you about your career, builds your facts file, and installs the commands. From then on: paste a job posting, get a complete application package.

What's inside

A facts file — every claim you're allowed to make, verified by you. Claude can arrange and tailor, but it cannot invent. This is what keeps an AI-drafted resume honest.
/draft-resume — reads a job posting, selects the relevant facts, writes a tailored resume in a typographically clean design. Print to PDF from your browser.
/cover-letter — researches the company across its site, engineering blog, news, and open source, then writes a four-paragraph letter with at least one sentence only you could write. Also produces interview talking points and copy-paste answers for application forms.
A personal site template — a one-page portfolio with its own walkthrough: free hosting, your own domain, email at that domain. About an hour, no code.
