FORA is a tool for job seekers, aimed particularly at designers, that turns a job description into a personalized landing page for that specific application. Instead of sending the same resume everywhere, you give it a job posting link, and it builds a page structured in three parts: who you are, what you have done, framed around that company's needs, and what you would bring in your first ninety days. The workflow starts with a one time setup script that checks your system and helps you build a private profile file containing your career history, case studies, and tone of voice. From then on, for every new application, you run a single guided script that walks you through brainstorming content for the specific job, choosing a layout template, generating the actual page, and optionally deploying it. The brainstorming step can be done by pasting a prepared prompt into any AI chat tool by hand, or automatically through an API key if you have one from Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI. FORA is designed to work with or without paid AI API access. You can do the content writing manually through a free AI chat interface and still deploy automatically to Vercel with a personal token, which the author calls the most practical starting point since it needs no AI API cost at all. Three page templates are included: a default three act layout, one that leads with proof of work, and a minimal single statement version, and the AI assistant helping you brainstorm recommends which one fits a given role. All of your personal information, including your profile, your generated content briefs, and any custom design system notes, stays only on your own machine and is excluded from version control, so the public repository only contains the reusable pipeline itself, not anyone's personal data. The project is a set of shell scripts and a Node.js generator script rather than a hosted service, meant to be cloned and run locally.
