Installation

Install the plugin in Claude Desktop or Claude.ai.

Requirements

  • Claude Desktop or Claude.ai with Cowork mode
  • A Claude Pro or Max subscription

Install from zip

  1. Download jobs-for-me.zip from the latest release
  2. In Claude, go to Customize > Personal plugins > +
  3. Upload the zip file
  4. Start a new Cowork session and select a folder for your job search data

That’s it. No dependencies to install, no API keys, no configuration files to edit.

Choose your data folder

When you start a Cowork session, select a folder where your job search data will live. Good options:

  • A folder in Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud — your data syncs and backs up automatically
  • Any local folder if you prefer to manage backups yourself

Everything is plain YAML and markdown files — easy to read, easy to back up, and yours to keep.

View your board

The plugin generates a kanban board at Kanban/index.html in your data folder. It updates automatically after every change.

Kanban board with role cards, doc links, and column stages

You can:

  • Open it directly in your browser from the Cowork file viewer
  • Serve it on your network with Tailscale:
# macOS
/Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale serve --bg /path/to/your-folder/Kanban/

# Linux
tailscale serve --bg /path/to/your-folder/Kanban/

This serves the board over HTTPS on your tailnet, accessible from any device. The --bg flag makes it persist across reboots.

Updating

When a new version is released:

  1. Download the new jobs-for-me.zip from releases
  2. In Claude, go to Customize > Personal plugins
  3. Delete the old plugin, then upload the new zip
  4. Start a new Cowork session (old sessions cache the previous version)

Your data folder is untouched by plugin updates — only the plugin code changes.
