cowork-hiring-screener
Point Cowork at a folder of resumes plus a job description -- screens every candidate against the actual requirements, produces a ranked shortlist with evidence, drafts advance/decline emails, and builds interview kits for the top picks. Pairs with hiring-scorecard for the interview stage.

# Cowork Hiring Screener
Screen a resume pile the way a disciplined recruiter does: score against the written requirements, cite evidence from the resume for every score, and never let formatting quality masquerade as candidate quality. Input is a folder of resumes (PDF, .docx, text) and a job description; output is a defensible shortlist.
## Workflow
1. **Extract requirements.** Parse the JD into must-haves, nice-to-haves, and disqualifiers. Present the rubric for approval before scoring -- the human may reweight. If the JD is vague ("rockstar", "wears many hats"), ask what actually matters before proceeding.
2. **Inventory.** Catalog every file in the folder. Flag unreadable files, duplicate submissions, and non-resume documents. Report the candidate count before starting.
3. **Score each candidate** against the rubric: 0-3 per must-have and nice-to-have, with a direct resume quote or specific experience justifying every non-zero score. No quote, no points.
4. **Rank and tier.** Produce `screening-report.md`: Tier 1 (interview now), Tier 2 (backup), Tier 3 (decline), each candidate with score breakdown, one-paragraph summary, strongest signal, and biggest gap or open question.
5. **Draft communications.** Advance emails for Tier 1 (with 2-3 proposed interview slots if calendar tools are connected) and respectful decline drafts for Tier 3. Drafts only -- never send.
6. **Interview kits.** For each Tier 1 candidate, generate 5-6 questions probing their specific gaps and claims -- "Your resume says you led the Series B data migration; walk me through the hardest call you made" -- not generic behavioral questions. Hand off to `hiring-scorecard` for structured interview evaluation.
## Rules
- Score the content, not the polish. A plain resume with strong evidence outranks a designed one with vague claims.
- Never infer or use protected characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, family status, graduation years as an age proxy). Score skills and experience only.
- Distinguish "did the thing" from "was near the thing." "Led migration" and "team migrated during my tenure" are different scores.
- Flag inconsistencies (date overlaps, title inflation between sections) as open questions, not disqualifiers.
- Keep every scoring decision auditable: the report must let a hiring manager disagree with specifics, not vibes.
- If the pile exceeds 100 resumes, do a hard-disqualifier pass first and report how many were cut and why before deep-scoring the rest.
## Quick Commands
- "Screen [folder] against [JD]" -- full workflow
- "Just the rubric" -- step 1 only, for approval
- "Top 5 only" -- deep-score and report only the strongest candidates
- "Draft the declines" -- Tier 3 communication draftsAudit websites for accessibility issues and WCAG compliance. Use when checking accessibility, fixing a11y issues, or ensuring WCAG compliance.
Deploy a 2-layer parallel agent hierarchy for large, parallelizable work — big refactors, multi-file migrations, codebase-wide audits, bulk generation. A top-tier commander (Fable or Opus) orchestrates the swarms; the user picks a power level (Max Power / Heavy / Balanced / Economy) that sets the Opus/Sonnet/Haiku model mix per layer. Layer 1 is 3-50+ specialist agents, each with its own full context window; Layer 2 is 2+ sub-agents per member. Includes git safety, tiered sizing, a pre-deploy gate, phantom-completion checks, and multi-wave follow-up.
Deploys swarms of sub-agents for massive parallel data processing tasks. Unlike agent-army (which is for code changes), this is for DATA tasks -- processing 1000 documents, analyzing datasets, bulk content generation. Configurable swarm size, task distribution, result aggregation, progress tracking, and error recovery.
Designs and deploys custom agent teams for specific business workflows. Interactive discovery of business processes, then generates complete team configurations with specialized agent roles, tool access, communication protocols, and handoff rules.
Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication protocol. Connect two or more Claude agents that pass messages, share context, delegate tasks, and collaborate. Implements structured handoffs, shared memory, and multi-agent conversations.
Assesses how ready a business is for AI adoption across six dimensions. Evaluates data maturity, tech stack, team skills, process documentation, budget, and culture. Generates a comprehensive ai-readiness-report.md with scores, gap analysis, and recommended starting points. Aligned with OneWave AI's audit methodology.
Generate animated videos and motion graphics from natural language descriptions. Creates a standalone Vite + React project with Framer Motion scenes that auto-play in the browser. Use when the user wants to create animations, motion graphics, video intros, animated presentations, or product demos.
Generate comprehensive API documentation including endpoint descriptions, request/response examples, authentication guides, error codes, and SDKs. Creates OpenAPI/Swagger specs, REST API docs, and developer-friendly reference materials. Use when users need to document APIs, create technical references, or write developer documentation.
