scrape

A job-search workflow that finds new job postings from installed search tools for LinkedIn and other job portals. It compares the results with your profile and removes duplicates from earlier searches and applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search broadly or by a focus area, check the health of a job-search portal, and review new matches with a quick fit assessment.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated searching and helps keep previously seen or applied-for jobs out of the new-results list.

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

scrape scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How It Works

This skill searches job portals using the installed portal-search CLIs in .agents/skills/ (plus WebSearch as a fallback), using queries from your profile. It deduplicates against previously seen jobs and the application tracker, and presents new matches with a quick fit assessment.

Invocation

The user triggers this skill by saying things like:

  • "Find new jobs"
  • "Scrape for jobs"
  • "Any new positions?"
  • "/scrape"

Optional arguments:

  • A focus area, e.g. "/scrape data science" or "/scrape geophysics"
  • "broad" to run all search categories, e.g. "/scrape broad"
  • "health" to run the portal health check only (Step 4.75), without searching, deduplicating, or presenting jobs - e.g. "/scrape health", or "/scrape health jobnet" to probe one portal even if disabled

Execution Steps

Step 0: Load State

  1. Read job_scraper/seen_jobs.json (create if missing - start with {"seen": {}})
  2. Read job_search_tracker.csv to extract already-applied companies+roles
  3. Read search-queries.md (this directory) for the search strategy

Step 1: Search

Read search-queries.md (this directory) for the search strategy. By default, run the top 3 priority query categories. If the user said "broad", run all categories. If the user specified a focus area (e.g. "data science"), prioritize queries from that category.

Use the installed CLI tools as the primary search mechanism. Fall back to WebSearch only for portals that do not have a CLI skill, or if bun is unavailable on the system.

1a. Check bun availability
bun --version

If this fails (bun not installed), skip to 1c (WebSearch fallback) for all portals and note the fallback in the Step 5 output.

1b. Run CLI tools (primary — run these in parallel where possible)

Discover all installed portal CLI skills by reading every SKILL.md found under .agents/skills/*/SKILL.md. Each file documents that portal's exact CLI flags and usage examples. Use each portal's own documented interface — do not guess flags. This approach automatically includes any new portals added via /add-portal without requiring changes to this file.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

scrape is a skill published in the GitHub repository MadsLorentzen/ai-job-search (39,400 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 5,071 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
