arafat1023Skillfreehire-search
Use this skill to search live software / tech / data / engineering job listings across many countries and markets (and remote) via the freehire.dev aggregator's public API, or to look up a specific posting. It aggregates roles from ~50 ATS platforms into one schema, so a single skill covers many markets — but its faceted filtering (skills, category, seniority) is tuned tech-first, so scope triggers to technical roles. Trigger phrases: find a tech job, software job search, developer jobs, engineering vacancies, data/ML jobs, DevOps roles, remote developer jobs, "are there any <tech role> jobs in <place>", look up this freehire job posting.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 18
Check whether the posting still looks active.
- Distinctive: line 21
Never guess on dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, or legal, demographic, work-authorization, visa, sponsorship, relocation, salary, …
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Job Application Assistant
Help the user complete the visible form or pasted application questions from the selected text, the visible page, or what they describe. Work only from the job description and the user's own background; never invent personal facts — employment history, metrics, authorization status, salary expectations, demographics, or availability — and never guess at structured or sensitive answers. Draft so the user can review and copy each answer; never click submit, pay, consent, create an account, or upload a file until the user explicitly asks after reviewing the final values. Adapted from santifer/career-ops apply mode.
- Identify the company and role from the visible page. If the form looks like a different company or role than the user's context, stop and confirm before drafting.
- Check whether the posting still looks active. If it says expired, closed, no longer accepting applications, or only shows a generic careers shell, say so before drafting.
- List every visible field with its type, required status, character or word limit, visible options, and whether the answer needs user confirmation. If the form continues below the fold, ask the user to scroll or paste the rest.
- Draft copy-paste-ready responses for free-text questions, answering the doubt behind each one directly — motivation, stack fit, logistics, salary, work authorization, availability, seniority, or communication style — using real details from the posting and the user's background.
- Never guess on dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, or legal, demographic, work-authorization, visa, sponsorship, relocation, salary, background-check, disability, veteran, or self-identification questions. If the answer isn't explicitly provided, write the exact confirmation question to ask the user.
- Practice disclosure discipline: answer logistics and screening questions truthfully when the form asks, but don't volunteer sensitive or HR-only details inside unrelated motivation or fit answers.
Return concise headings: Application context, Field map, Draft responses, Needs confirmation, and Review before submitting. For each draft, use the exact form question as the heading and put the answer in a blockquote so the user can copy it. Keep every answer specific, honest, and tied to a real detail from the posting or the user's background.
Example
Form on screen (excerpt) + a note:
Apply — Backend Engineer, Northwind. Fields: "Why do you want to work here?" (free text, 500 char), "Years of Python experience" (dropdown: 0-1 / 2-4 / 5+), "Are you authorized to work in the US?" (yes / no). My note: 3 years of Python at Acme, built their billing service.
Output:
Field map
- Why do you want to work here? — free text, 500 char, draft below.
- Years of Python experience — dropdown, needs confirmation (your note says 3 years → "2-4", confirm).
- Authorized to work in the US? — yes/no, needs confirmation, not provided.
Draft responses
Why do you want to work here?
Northwind's billing-heavy backend is exactly where I've spent the last three years — I built and owned Acme's billing service in Python, and I'd like to bring that depth to your team.
Needs confirmation
- Python dropdown: select "2-4"? (Your 3 years falls in that band.)
- Work authorization: I won't answer this for you — what should it say?
I'll pause before anything is submitted — review the values above first.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
