GitHub - agent-data/job-search: Turn Claude Code into your job search assistant.

2 min read Original article ↗

Job Search is a plugin that turns Claude Code into a job search assistant. Describe what you want, and Claude pulls fresh job postings, judges each against your preferences, and generates a ranked digest of the matches.

How it works

  1. 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, compare posts against your preferences, and generate a digest with only the posts that are relevant.
  4. Optionally Claude can also run your search on a schedule (e.g., daily) to surface new posts matching your preferences over time.

See an example digest in examples/sample-digest.md.

Requirements

  • Claude Code

  • The agent-data CLI — the job-data source. Generate an API key at agent-data.motie.dev (Profile → API Key), then export AGENT_DATA_API_KEY=mtk_… (or save it to ~/.agent-data/config.json) and verify with agent-data whoami.

    Note: agent-data currently provides job postings from the following sources: LinkedIn Jobs.

Quick start

  1. Set your agent-data API key. Grab one at agent-data.motie.dev (Profile → API Key), then export it: 
    export AGENT_DATA_API_KEY=mtk_…
  2. Launch Claude Code then register the local clone as a marketplace: 
    /plugin marketplace add /path/to/job-search
/plugin install job-search@agent-data
  3. Kick off your job search. Run /job-search

What's inside
