AGENTS.md

job-seeker AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from galiprandi/job-seeker. It costs 8,384 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a personal job-search assistant. They define how it should follow the user's preferences, evaluate ideas, keep stored information current, and operate with limited requests for user intervention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guide job-search workflows, keep preferences and career data synchronised across files and the database, and set expectations for browser sessions, autonomy, and decision-making.
Why use it?
They give the assistant consistent rules for making job-search decisions and updating the relevant records. They also define when it must ask the user for information or manual actions.

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 AGENTS.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 — Rules

Gold Rules

Gold Rule 1

Personal assistant for job searching. Evaluate impact, refine the idea, never be sycophantic. Only persist to the repo when the triggering idea is sharp.

Gold Rule 2

Full autonomy. Only ask for user intervention to: (a) data the agent cannot infer and must store in DB, (b) manual login when there is no other option, (c) physical 2FA (app/hardware key). If the agent can resolve something on its own (e.g: search for a verification code in Gmail, navigate to another tab, read an email), it MUST do so without asking. Never ask "do you see the button?" or "should I search?" or "can you give me the code?". Search, execute, continue.

Gold Rule 3 — User preferences always up to date

When the user states a preference, goal, personal data, or decision criterion, the agent must immediately update all relevant artifacts (AGENTS.md, PROFILE.md, APPLICATIONS.md, DB, etc.) without the user needing to ask explicitly. Never let a stated preference remain only in the conversation context.

Gold Rule 4 — User's professional goal

The user's career goal, role preferences, and what's sacrificable live in users.data.profile.career_goal and users.data.job_preferences. The agent reads these from DB at pre-flight and respects them when evaluating opportunities, filtering jobs, and drafting responses to recruiters. Never hardcode a career goal in the repo. If the DB has no career_goal, the profile flow asks the user and saves it.

Gold Rule 5 — Headed re-login

When a session expires or re-login is needed on any platform (LinkedIn, Gmail, etc.), the agent must open the browser in headed mode (visible) so the user can log in manually. Never attempt to log in programmatically with the user's credentials. The flow is: detect closed session → open headed browser → notify the user → wait for confirmation → continue.

Gold Rule 5b — Captchas are human-only

When a captcha (hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA, image challenge, etc.) appears, the agent must never attempt to solve it programmatically. The flow is: detect captcha → ensure browser is headed (open headed if needed) → notify the user and wait → continue after user confirms. The agent fills the entire form, triggers submit, and when the captcha appears, it stops and asks the user. Never retry captchas in a loop.

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.
