How to choose
Prioritize agents whose source explicitly states local or CLI execution if privacy is non-negotiable. CLI-first tools (19874, 31792) integrate easily into existing workflows but require comfort with terminals. Full cockpit options (13283, 40756) add pipeline tracking at the cost of more setup. Always verify the latest GitHub instructions, as self-hosting still demands maintenance and occasional model updates.
FAQ
Which ones require zero external API keys?
31792, 19874, and 47254 run entirely locally once the base model is installed.
Do any support batch resume screening for recruiters?
31792 and 13283 include batch scanning and scoring features you can run on your own data.
How do I keep data private after self-hosting?
Run the agents in an air-gapped environment or behind your firewall; none of these require outbound resume transmission.
