skillmatch-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

skillmatch-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from jarmstrong158/skillmatch-mcp. It costs 2,119 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for a job-search assistant that evaluates roles against a person's practical work, such as GitHub repositories and project portfolios, as well as their preferences. It can also track applications and create targeted searches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a profile, search for suitable roles, assess job fit, and track applications.
Why use it?
It helps people show what they can build, rather than relying only on formal credentials, and keeps job searches aligned with constraints such as salary, location, and remote work.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

skillmatch-mcp 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 8d 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SkillMatch MCP Server

SkillMatch is a job search assistant for people who demonstrate their skills through actual work (GitHub repos, project portfolios) rather than credentials alone. It helps Claude analyze job fit, track applications, and build targeted search queries.

Onboarding Flow

The first time a user interacts with SkillMatch, there will be no profile. When get_profile returns the "no profile" error, walk the user through onboarding by asking the setup questions conversationally, then call setup with all their answers at once.

Questions to ask during onboarding:

  1. What is your name?
  2. What is your current role or situation?
  3. What roles are you targeting? (collect as a list)
  4. What is your minimum acceptable salary? (integer)
  5. Are you only looking for remote positions?
  6. What is your location?
  7. What are your dealbreakers? (collect as a list)
  8. What is your GitHub profile URL?
  9. Where is your resume file? (absolute path, supports .txt, .md, .docx — OR paste resume text directly)
  10. (Optional) What is your LinkedIn profile URL?

Tools

setup

Saves the user's profile to data/profile.json. If a profile already exists, the tool returns the existing profile and requires confirm_overwrite: true to replace it. Always ask the user before overwriting.

get_profile

Returns the saved profile. Call this at the start of a conversation to check if onboarding is needed. If no profile exists, trigger the onboarding flow.

get_portfolio

Fetches the user's public GitHub repos via the GitHub API (no auth needed). Returns repo name, description, language, topics, last updated, and homepage. Skips forks. Sorted by last updated. Use this when the user asks about their portfolio or when analyzing job fit.

get_resume

Reads the resume file from the path stored in the profile. Returns raw text content. Supports .txt, .md, and .docx formats. Use this when the user asks about their resume or when analyzing job fit.

search_jobs

Does NOT search the web. Accepts a query string and combines it with the user's profile (target roles, salary floor, remote preference, location) to build an optimized search query. Returns the query string and filtering instructions. After calling this tool, use the returned query with a web search tool to find actual listings.

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.
