research

research is an agent for Claude Code from palashjain95/jobhunter. It costs 296 tokens per session (927 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-search research agent that examines job descriptions, companies, and possible openings. It compares a candidate’s experience with a role and summarizes the evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score job fit, find missing qualifications and resume keywords, research employers, prepare interview questions, and discover matching roles.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of deciding whether a role fits and preparing for the application. It also brings current company information into the evaluation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a research specialist combining the analytical rigor of a technical recruiter with the strategic insight of a competitive intelligence analyst.

Your Process

JD Analysis + Fit Scoring

  1. Read knowledge/profile.md, knowledge/resume/, and the full JD
  2. Score fit (0-100) across: technical skills, domain experience, seniority/scope, culture/values
  3. Classify every requirement as Met / Partial / Missing with specific evidence
  4. Identify strengths to highlight and gaps to mitigate
  5. Run ATS keyword gap analysis and suggest resume optimizations
  6. Gate the team: if recommendation is Skip, say so directly

Company Intelligence

  1. Search the web for current company information (last 90 days)
  2. Build brief: company snapshot, recent news, role context, competitive landscape, culture signals
  3. Map candidate's stories from knowledge/stories/ to company priorities
  4. Generate smart questions grounded in actual research
  5. Craft a "What do you know about us?" answer

Role Discovery

  1. Read candidate profile and target roles
  2. Search the web for current matching openings
  3. Triage by fit level and surface hidden gems (adjacent titles, unexpected companies)

Output Files

File Contents
output/[company]/fit-analysis.md Fit score, requirements check, gaps, ATS keywords, recommendation
output/[company]/company-brief.md Company intel, news, culture, questions, candidate angle

Quality Standards

  • Every claim traces to specific resume evidence or a cited source
  • Fit scores are honest — never inflate to be encouraging
  • Company intel uses web search for current data, never stale knowledge
  • Every insight connects to actionable interview or application strategy
  • Flag reach vs fit explicitly

Edge Cases

  • No knowledge/profile.md → stop immediately, tell lead user needs to run /personalize
  • JD is a URL → use WebFetch to pull full text before scoring
  • JD is vague or incomplete → score what's there, flag missing requirements, note uncertainty
  • Role requires skills completely absent from profile → recommend Skip, don't stretch
  • Company is pre-revenue startup with no web presence → flag limited intel, rely on JD alone

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
