ai-job-search: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/career-development/SKILL.md

career-development is a skill for Claude Code from suraj-davariya/ai-job-search. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A career-planning tool that compares your skills with the requirements of tracked jobs or one job advertisement. It identifies gaps and creates a learning plan using web-found resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review job-related skill gaps, find learning materials, order your studies, and save the resulting plan as a report.
Why use it?
It shows which missing skills matter most for your target roles, so you do not have to choose what to study by guesswork.

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

career-development 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 12d 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 — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

This file is the Plane 1 knowledge anchor for the Career Development workflow (ARCH-0040). As a Plane 1 skill it lives under .claude/skills/career-development/ and provides structured knowledge — it does not execute binaries. When activated, it compares the candidate's current skills against demand (either every job in the tracker, or one target posting), produces a prioritized gap heatmap, finds real learning resources via web search, sequences them into a study order, and persists a markdown report under upskill/. It operates under the no-fabrication rule (ARCH-0007), the read-before-write invariant, and never invents learning resources.

This skill backs the /upskill command (.claude/commands/upskill.md) and the dashboard's Upskill surface, which reads the reports this skill writes (upskill/report-*.md).

Trigger Phrases

  • "/upskill" (with or without a job URL)
  • "What should I learn for <role/company>?"
  • "Where are my skill gaps?"
  • "Analyze my upskilling needs"
  • Any phrase about skill gaps, learning plans, or closing the distance to a target role

Companion Files

File When to Read
../job-application-assistant/01-candidate-profile.md Always — the source of the candidate's current skills, education, and experience to diff against
../job-application-assistant/04-job-evaluation.md For the candidate's stated strong/weak areas and career goals, to weight and frame gaps

This skill also reads, outside the skill directory:

Source Mode Purpose
job_search_tracker.csv (repo root) Aggregate Role, company, and fit_rating per tracked application
upskill/report-YYYY-MM-DD.md (most recent) Aggregate Previous report, for delta comparison (REQ-3010)
Job posting (URL or pasted text) Targeted The single posting to analyze

Workflow

The skill runs the same six analytical stages in both modes; what differs is the input and how priority is computed.

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.
