job-seeker: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

job-seeker CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from albertorsesc/job-seeker. It costs 2,411 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for building `job-seeker`, an open-source job-search engine exposed to local AI agents through MCP. It records the chosen architecture, technology decisions, and rules for continuing the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building a tool that gathers job postings, matches them to a candidate profile, checks eligibility, removes duplicates and irrelevant results, ranks jobs, and returns JSON, CSV, HTML, or MCP results.
Why use it?
It gives a new coding session the project context and existing decisions, reducing the risk of re-designing the system or violating repository rules.

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

job-seeker CLAUDE.md 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 9d 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.

job-seeker: Claude Code build guide

This file is the continuation contract for building job-seeker, an open-source, profile-driven job search engine exposed to local AI agents over MCP. A previous session designed the architecture and started the scaffold. This document lets any fresh Claude Code session pick up the build without re-deriving decisions.

Scope note: this repo will be open-sourced. Everything committed is public. Do not use the em dash character in committed content (prose, docs, comments, commit messages); use commas, colons, parentheses, or separate sentences.


1. What this project is

A single-owner, reusable engine that answers one question well: "find me the best possible job I can actually hold." It aggregates postings from many job boards, normalizes them, scores each against the owner's profile, classifies whether the owner is eligible to hold it (location, timezone, work authorization), filters noise, dedupes, ranks, and returns the result to a local agent over MCP or to a CLI as JSON / CSV / a paginated HTML report.

The engine is profile-driven: no candidate specifics are hardcoded. Who the seeker is, where they live, what they are good at, and where they are legally hireable all come from a profile Markdown file that lives outside the repo and is located via the JOB_SEEKER_PROFILE environment variable. Swap the profile, and the same code serves anyone. A profile that cannot be swapped is a bug.

It runs on the owner's own machine through a local Claude Code agent over MCP, so a scan never has to be delegated to a hosted assistant.


2. Strategies combined (from the best job-search repos)

A synthesis of what the best job-search repos each do well, plus this project's own eligibility layer. The per-board facts, all captured from live runs, and the steps for adding a board are in docs/sources.md. They live there rather than here because a contributor reads docs/, and two copies of a board's quirks would drift the week a board changes.

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.
