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

job-board-search 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 — 567 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Search a careers board, extract the postings, and score each one against the realistic applicant pool rather than against the posting's own keywords.

Two ways in. Name a company and this skill searches that company. Describe the work instead — a function, a place, a market — and Phase 0 resolves the description into a list of companies and searches each one. Everything after Phase 0 is identical either way, because the second mode's only job is producing the company list the first mode is handed directly.

Announce at start. Company mode: "Searching $COMPANY for roles matching the profile. Focus: $KEYWORDS. Scoring: pool-anchored, channel-conditional, contrarian-gated." Query mode: the same sentence with the resolved company count in place of $COMPANY, announced only after Phase 0e, so the user is never told a number that a confirmation step might still change.

Every templates/... path in this file is relative to the plugin, not to the workspace. The working directory is the user's job-search directory and does not contain them, so a bare templates/role_analysis.md resolves to nothing. Resolve them against the directory this skill file was itself loaded from — that works on every harness, where a harness-specific plugin-root variable does not.

Arguments: one required argument, read as either a company or a query. See Phase 0a for how to tell them apart and what to do when it is genuinely unclear.

  • Company mode$1 is a company name, $2+ are role keywords. Keywords default to targeting.functions in preferences.yaml.
  • Query mode — the whole argument describes the work, the place, or the market. Constraints in the query are read on top of preferences.yaml, never instead of it.

Examples:

/slushpile:job-board-search Anthropic applied AI
/slushpile:job-board-search Rivian manufacturing NPI
/slushpile:job-board-search Stripe
/slushpile:job-board-search applied AI roles within 50 miles of Martinsville, VA that fit my profile
/slushpile:job-board-search remote staff platform engineering at Series B infra companies
/slushpile:job-board-search who is hiring manufacturing engineers near me

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.
