Rolester is an agent-driven job-search workspace.

It onboards you once — your preferences, your evidence, your comp floor — and then works the whole loop: finding jobs, vetting them, writing honest applications, drafting recruiter messages, prepping you for interviews, and learning from every outcome. The agent does the work. You make the calls.

The Gate

“It reads the actual job before you chase it.”

Emits a GATE / FIT / COMP / ACTION verdict against your real constraints — not just a keyword match.

Four steps. One loop.

Each step builds on the last. Nothing is skipped, nothing is faked.

1

Tell it what you actually want

Walk through a friendly onboarding. Role families, comp floor, location, what you'll accept, what you won't. This config is yours — no black box.

2

It finds and vets the real jobs

Searches the boards you tell it to. Reads the full posting body. Checks it against your constraints. Tells you to GATE, FIT, pass on COMP, or act. No spray-and-pray.

3

It writes honest applications

Tailors your résumé and cover letter only from your real evidence bank. Refuses to invent facts. Every claim is backed by something you actually did.

4

It preps you to win

Drafts recruiter messages and follow-ups. Builds story banks for interviews. Coaches comp negotiation. Tracks every outcome and gets smarter each run.

That's the point.

Honest tailoring isn't a limitation — it's a design choice. Applications that overclaim don't hold up in interviews. Artifacts built from your real evidence do.

Evidence bank, not a word bank

You build a bank of real things you did — projects, metrics, decisions. Every tailored artifact draws only from that bank.

Refuses to invent facts

If a claim isn't in your evidence, it won't write it. No hallucinated roles. No inflated titles. No fake metrics.

Tailored, not fabricated

It reorders, reframes, and emphasises what genuinely fits the role. That's tailoring. That's honest.

Gate before tailor

Tailoring only runs after the gate clears. You never write a cover letter for a job that doesn't fit your constraints.

Your stuff stays yours.

Rolester runs entirely on your machine. Your résumé, comp numbers, evidence bank, and full pipeline never leave your laptop. No cloud sync, no account, no telemetry — not even by accident.

Local-first isn't a feature. It's respect.

Job searches are personal. Your comp floor, your reasons for leaving, your backup options — none of that belongs in a cloud database. Rolester keeps it on your machine, full stop.

No signup, no freemium tier that quietly uploads your data, no API key that routes your résumé through someone else's server. What you put in stays in.

Works with your favorite AI.

Rolester is an agent runtime. It doesn't lock you into a model or a subscription. Bring whatever AI CLI you already use — Claude Code, Codex, or anything else on your PATH.

# scaffold → skills → dashboard → agent handoff
# one command, then your AI takes it from here

Rolester scaffolds your workspace, installs the skills, opens a live dashboard, and hands off to your chosen AI CLI. You stay in control of the model, the cost, and the data.

The whole loop. Nothing sold separately.

Every capability ships together. Config-driven, not code-driven — the same skills serve any field: a nurse, an engineer, a driver each bring their own config.

A note from the maker:I built this to solve my own job search — the spray-and-pray cycle felt disrespectful of everyone's time, including mine. Rolester is what I wanted: an agent that vets first, writes honestly, and keeps my data to itself.
