What it is: Mirrorwork - a CLI tool that helps manage job searching. You build a master profile from your resumes, scan job boards, get fit analysis, and track applications. All from the terminal.

How Claude Code helped: The entire "backend" is Claude Code agents. Each command (/mw scan, /mw inbox, /mw tracker) is a markdown file that describes what the agent should do. No traditional code for the core logic - just agent instructions that Claude executes.

For example, when you run /mw add job <url>, Claude:

• Fetches the job posting
• Extracts requirements
• Reads your profile
• Derives positioning specific to that role
• Runs fit analysis
• Saves everything to JSON

The agents coordinate through the file system. Profile data in profile/, jobs in activity/jobs/, all JSON. Claude reads and writes these files as it works.

What I learned building this way:

• Markdown agents are surprisingly capable for orchestrating workflows
• The file system as "database" keeps everything simple and inspectable
• Iterating is fast - just edit the markdown and try again

It's free and open source: https://github.com/grandimam/mirrorwork

Still early - would appreciate feedback from others building with Claude Code. Especially curious if anyone has patterns for making agents more reliable across multiple steps.
