Erga

What it does

Erga provides a local-first system for organizing the job application process. It connects your AI assistant to a private database of application records and LaTeX resume templates, allowing the AI to help you tailor your professional experience to specific job descriptions without exporting your data to the cloud.

Tools

• pipeline_status: Read local record counts for your application pipeline.
• list_applications: Retrieve your current local application records.
• update_application_status: Move applications between states like draft, applied, interview, or offer.
• application_tracker: Render an Obsidian-based tracker view of your progress.
• list_evidence: Read local professional evidence records used for resume tailoring.
• intake_job_url: Research a job URL and build local review artifacts.
• prepare_job_workspace: Create a bounded local folder for a specific job application.
• create_tailored_resume: Generate a tailored resume proposal and diff based on evidence.
• validate_tailored_resume: Run the local LaTeX compiler to verify the output.
