job-seeker: Skill for Claude Code

Memory — Autonomous preference management

This skill implements Gold Rule 3 (user preferences always up to date). The agent proactively detects, stores, and injects user preferences without being asked.

When it runs

Always. This is not a flow triggered by a keyword. It is a background behavior that runs during every interaction:

1. Detection: after every user message, evaluate whether a preference was stated, implied, or corrected
2. Injection: at the pre-flight of every flow, load active preferences into context

Detection

After every user message, scan for 3 signal types:

Save vs skip checklist

Save (proactively, no need to ask):

• Job search preferences (roles, industries, locations, work mode, salary)
• Communication preferences (language, tone, length, format)
• Compensation criteria (range, equity, benefits)
• Tooling/workflow preferences (which platforms, how to apply)
• Corrections to anything previously stored
• Explicit requests: "recordá que..." / "remember that..."
• Strategy level changes. When the user's situation changes (employment status, urgency), detect and propose a strategy level change. See AGENTS.md "Strategy levels"

Skip:

• Trivial/obvious info ("user asked about Python")
• Already in CV or users.data.profile (don't duplicate)
• Already in users.data.style_profile
• Re-discoverable facts (can web search)
• Session-specific ephemera (temporary file paths, one-off debugging)
• Already in AGENTS.md or other context files

Storage

All preferences live in the preferences table, accessed via scripts/db.js:

preferences (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  user_id INTEGER REFERENCES users(id),
  category TEXT NOT NULL,        -- job_search, communication, compensation, tooling, workflow
  key TEXT NOT NULL,             -- e.g. "avoid_industries", "reply_language", "salary_min"
  value TEXT NOT NULL,           -- e.g. "crypto,gambling", "spanish", "5000"
  confidence REAL DEFAULT 1.0,   -- 1.0 explicit, 0.7 inferred, 0.5 auto-summarized
  source TEXT DEFAULT 'explicit_statement', -- explicit_statement | inferred | correction
  status TEXT DEFAULT 'active',  -- active | superseded
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
  updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
  UNIQUE(user_id, category, key)
)
