Hey HN,I wanted to share an open source plugin + skills I put together that turn Claude Code into a job search assistant. The goal is to minimize the amount of time needed to find interesting and relevant jobs.How it works: 1. Clone the repo, install the plugin, and run `/job-search` 2. Claude will ask a few questions to understand the roles you’re interested in and save your preferences locally. 3. Claude will then pull live job postings (currently, LinkedIn Jobs), compare posts against your preferences, and generate a digest of the posts that are relevant. 4. [Optionally] Claude will also run your search on a schedule (e.g., daily) to surface new posts matching your preferences over time.Features on the roadmap: - Skills for having Claude compare resumes to job descriptions to estimate “fit” - Skills for having Claude recommend resume edits to better align with a given job descriptionRepo: https://github.com/agent-data/job-search (MIT license)Important: the plugin uses agent-data (a tool for accessing structured web data) under the hood to pull live job postings, so you’ll need an API key to get started (no credit card required).
