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 your profile. 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 jobnet" to probe one portal even if disabled
