scrape

A job-search skill that finds matching postings through configured job-portal search tools, removes duplicates, and presents new matches with a quick fit assessment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for new jobs, focus on an area such as data science, search broadly, or check portal health.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of checking multiple job sites and prevents the same posting from appearing repeatedly.

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 today.

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.

Job Scraper


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 jobsearch.config.json. 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 freehire" 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 jobsearch.config.json for the configured search market, query list, filters, and deal-breakers
  4. Read search-queries.md (this directory) for the search strategy guide

Step 1: Search

Read jobsearch.config.json for the actual query terms and market settings. Read search-queries.md (this directory) only for guidance on structuring and expanding those terms. By default, run the configured search.queries in priority order. If the user said "broad", include lower-priority configured queries and any safe fallback templates from the guide. If the user specified a focus area (e.g. "data science"), prioritize configured queries that match that focus and generate 2-3 focus-specific variants.

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.

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.
