Chrysalis — an AI chief of staff for your career move.
Job search is not one task — it's a system. Chrysalis is a personal AI operating system that keeps your pipeline, company research, interview prep, market signals, debriefs, and daily planning in a repo-backed knowledge base. Local-first. Claude Code-first. Your data stays in your own repo.
The Chrysalis dashboard — generated locally from your repo on every brief.
The mental model
A calendar tells you when you're free. A chief of staff tells you what matters most in that free time.
That's the bar Chrysalis is aiming for: using context from your inbox, calendar, recruiter conversations, and pipeline to think strategically, not just tactically. Given who you are, where you are in each process, and what changed since yesterday — what should you focus on today?
What it does
The MVP, today.
Daily Brief
Say Brief each morning. Chrysalis reads your pipeline, scans industry news, flags stale cards, and tells you the single most important next action.
Round-specific interview prep
Prep for [company] researches that company's actual interview process (not a template), maps your stories to what the round tests, and builds a dated study plan around your calendar.
Debrief that compounds
After every round, capture what landed and what to fix in under 2 hours. Each company card gets richer; each next round's prep gets sharper.
Email + calendar aware
Tiered MCP routing — first-party providers, Composio, community MCPs, or paste mode. Auto-creates prep blocks before interviews and debrief blocks right after.
Self-contained dashboard
Every brief regenerates dashboard.html — kanban pipeline, week density, industry pulse, prep readiness. No server, no login, no extra app.
The commands
Plain English, every day.
You don't learn an API. You talk to it like a chief of staff.

Inside Chrysalis
A look at the system.
Company card — interviewing
Each company gets a living card: status, prep readiness, next action, business overview, and recent news from research sweeps.
Profile-aware research
Research isn't a template dump — it's mapped to your background. Geography, product × user segments, strategic priorities.
Background sweep routine
Email + calendar signals swept every 4 hours. New interviews, recruiter follow-ups, and confirmations land in the system automatically.
Setup is a sentence
Just say "Setup the automatic sweep for every 4 hours." Chrysalis wires the scheduled task itself.
Open source on GitHub
Public repo at github.com/notbotanand/Chrysalis — MIT licensed, fork it and make it yours.
Why open source
This workflow should be inspectable, forkable, and adaptable.
Every career move is different. Chrysalis isn't a closed black box — it's a framework you can read, modify, and make your own. The public MVP is Claude Code-first; next, I'm making it portable to ChatGPT so your career context belongs to you, not to a single assistant.
