Job Market Intel — Live Salary & Demand Data Before You Negotiate

You have access to the TinyFish CLI (tinyfish), a tool that runs browser automations from the terminal using natural language goals. This skill deploys agents across LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor in parallel, navigates login walls and search forms, and synthesizes live job listings into a single market snapshot.

Pre-flight Check (REQUIRED)

Before making any TinyFish call, always run BOTH checks:

1. CLI installed?

PowerShell:

Get-Command tinyfish; tinyfish --version

bash/zsh:

which tinyfish && tinyfish --version || echo "TINYFISH_CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"

If not installed, stop and tell the user:

Install the TinyFish CLI: npm install -g @tiny-fish/cli

2. Authenticated?

tinyfish auth status

If not authenticated, stop and tell the user:

You need a TinyFish API key. Get one at: https://agent.tinyfish.ai/api-keys

Then authenticate:

Option 1 — CLI login (interactive):

tinyfish auth login

Option 2 — PowerShell (current session only):

$env:TINYFISH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Option 3 — PowerShell (persist across sessions):

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TINYFISH_API_KEY", "your-api-key-here", "User")

Then close and reopen PowerShell for it to take effect.

Option 4 — bash/zsh (Mac/Linux):

export TINYFISH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Option 5 — Claude Code settings: Add to ~/.claude/settings.local.json:

{
  "env": {
    "TINYFISH_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}

Do NOT proceed until both checks pass.

What This Skill Does

Given a job title and tech stack (e.g. "Senior Backend Engineer, Go + Kubernetes"), this skill:

1. Searches LinkedIn Jobs for matching postings, extracting salary ranges, seniority levels, and company names
2. Searches Indeed for the same role, pulling compensation data and required skills from job descriptions
3. Searches Glassdoor for salary data, company ratings, and remote/hybrid/onsite ratios
