Frequently asked questions

VitaeContext is open-source career-context infrastructure for AI agents and career systems. It helps a person maintain reusable Career Context in Markdown, then provides focused skills for grounded CVs, profiles, repositories, portfolios, messages, interviews, applications, and other professional tasks.

No. VitaeContext does not guarantee rankings, recruiter attention, ATS scores, rich results, snippets, indexing speed, AI citations, or platform distribution. Its skills tell agents to preserve supported claims, show uncertainty, and order useful fixes. Results still require review and depend on the supplied material and external platforms.

Six install targets: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, OpenCode, and a shared portable skill bundle. In Claude Code the skills are also available through the plugin marketplace. One source generates each provider layout, but installation, activation, and exact runtime behavior vary by provider.

Run npx vitaecontext install --provider <provider> with one of the supported provider values. In Claude Code you can instead add the plugin marketplace with /plugin marketplace add vitaecontext/vitaecontext and then /plugin install vitaecontext@vitaecontext. See the installation guide and CLI reference for every command and flag.

Career Context is a user-owned, maintained Markdown record for one person's supplied career facts, roles, projects, evidence links, constraints, claims to avoid, and goals recorded as stated intent. Skills read it before writing so task outputs start from the same inspectable source.

VitaeGraph is VitaeContext's optional deeper layer for local Markdown records such as education, thesis work, courses, projects, experience, certifications, awards, and publications. It complements compact Career Context instead of replacing it; its validation checks structure rather than authenticating claims.

A knowledge layer that follows Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki idea: a maintainer agent compiles platform knowledge from sources and keeps it current, and runtime agents read it instead of re-deriving platform facts on every query. It ships as versioned Markdown entries with confidence labels, so advice is grounded rather than guessed.

A weighted 0-100 triage with bands and a fix-first order, included in the GitHub, LinkedIn, CV/ATS, and web-portfolio skills. It is an internal prioritization heuristic to decide what to fix first, not a platform ranking and not a guaranteed score.

A guide explains the method for a human reader and needs no installation. A skill packages runtime instructions, references, and maintained knowledge so a supported agent can apply that method. The two surfaces cover the same module but serve different readers.

No. Platform names, trademarks, and logos belong to their respective owners. VitaeContext is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by those platforms.

VitaeContext is a set of Markdown skill files and a local CLI with no backend, so the project itself collects nothing. Your context file is a private local file you control. How any individual agent or provider handles the content you give it is governed by that provider, not by VitaeContext.
