JobRadar

A configurable job hunting assistant. All user preferences are read from config.yaml. No hardcoded values in this file — everything is a variable.

Step 0 — Always Load Config First

Locate config.yaml by checking these paths in order — use the first one found:

1. ./config.yaml — current working directory (project-local config takes priority)
2. ~/.claude/skills/job-radar/config.yaml — global fallback

Extract:

{name}              ← hunter.name
{email}             ← hunter.email
{level}             ← hunter.level
{roles}             ← hunter.roles (list)
{eligible_majors}   ← hunter.eligible_majors (list, may be empty)
{locations}         ← hunter.locations (list)
{industry}          ← hunter.industry (list — one or more values)
{work_type}         ← hunter.work_type (internship | graduate | contract | permanent | any)
{sources}           ← hunter.sources (map of enabled/disabled)
{target_companies}  ← hunter.target_companies (list, may be empty)
{exclude_companies} ← hunter.exclude_companies (list, may be empty)
{base_path}         ← hunter.base_path
{cv_path}           ← hunter.cv_path
{cv_format}         ← hunter.cv_format
{cl_format}         ← hunter.cover_letter_format
{digest_time}       ← hunter.digest_time
{digest_channel}    ← hunter.digest_channel

If config.yaml is not found, ask:

"I couldn't find config.yaml. Would you like me to create one? Just tell me your name, target roles, locations, and career level."

File Structure

All files saved under {base_path}:

Naming rules:

• •{company} and {job_title} = lowercase, underscores
• •{date} = YYYY-MM-DD
• •Save jd.md immediately on any JD paste — before analysis
• •Use mkdir -p before writing any file
• •Always confirm the saved path after each write
• •If filesystem unavailable: save to /mnt/user-data/outputs/ and state intended path

Quick Reference

Auto-chain: paste a JD → analysis → offers coverage map → offers CV tailoring → offers cover letter.

Slash Commands (Claude Code)

Workflow Overview

Chain naturally: JD paste → auto Module 2 → offer Module 5 → offer Module 3 → offer Module 4.

Module 1: Job Scan

Step 0 — Stale Scan Check

Before searching, check if scans/Jobs_{today}.md already exists.

If it does:

"A scan for today ({YYYY-MM-DD}) already exists. Re-run and overwrite, or view the existing results?"

Wait for response. If user chooses to view: display the existing file. If overwrite: proceed.

Step 1 — Build Search Queries

For each role in {roles} and each location in {locations}, build queries dynamically.

Work type filter: append {work_type} to all queries unless work_type = "any".

• •internship → add "intern" OR "internship"
• •graduate → add "graduate" OR "grad program"
• •contract → add "contract" OR "fixed-term"
• •permanent → add "full-time" OR "permanent"

Per enabled source in `{sources}`:

# Seek (if sources.seek = true)
site:seek.com.au "{role}" "{work_type}" {location}

# LinkedIn (if sources.linkedin = true)
site:linkedin.com/jobs "{role}" "{work_type}" {location}

# GradConnection (if sources.gradconnection = true)
site:au.gradconnection.com "{role}" internship Australia

# Aus Internship Finder (if sources.aus_internship_finder = true)
# Company discovery only — NOT a source of truth for timing or deadlines.
# This is a single-page app — NOT indexed, do NOT use site: search.
# Use raw data to find which companies run programs:
#   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YangS1718/aus-internship-finder/main/asset.json
# For actual deadlines and open/close dates: search Seek, GradConnection, LinkedIn,
# or each company's career page directly — those are always more current.
# Search pattern: "{company_name}" careers internship {year}

# Indeed (if sources.indeed = true)
site:indeed.com.au "{role}" "{work_type}" {location}

# Company sites (if sources.company_sites = true and target_companies not empty)
"{company}" careers "{role}" {location}   ← for each company in {target_companies}

Browse fallback: Some job boards (Seek, LinkedIn) are JavaScript-rendered and may return incomplete results via WebSearch/WebFetch. If a source returns 0 results or clearly incomplete data:

• •If gstack /browse is available: use it to load the page directly and extract listings
• •Otherwise: retry with a more specific search query, note the issue in Scanner Notes

Eligibility filter (if `{eligible_majors}` not empty): Include roles mentioning any keyword in {eligible_majors}. Skip roles requiring unrelated degrees only.

If `{eligible_majors}` is empty: no eligibility filtering — show all results.

Exclude filter (if `{exclude_companies}` not empty): Remove any listing where the company matches an entry in {exclude_companies}. Do this silently — don't list excluded results.

Step 2 — Score Each Listing

Match % per role:

• •Role title matches {roles} → base score
• •Location matches {locations} → weight
• •Eligibility matches {eligible_majors} → weight (skip if empty)
• •Industry alignment with {industry} → bonus
• •Tech stack/skill overlap with CV → bonus (if CV loaded)

Step 3 — Present Results

Use this exact structure every run — do not add extra sections, urgency boxes, or duplicate tables:

# {industry joined by " / "} Jobs — {YYYY-MM-DD}
Level: {level} | Work type: {work_type} | Locations: {locations joined by " | "}
Roles: {roles joined by " | "}

## Scan Summary
| Source | Status | Notes |
|--------|--------|-------|
| {source} | ✅ OK / ⚠️ Partial / ❌ Failed | {notes} |

Total found: {X} | Actionable (open now): {Y} | Not yet open: {Z} | Closed: {N}

---

## Results

| # | Company | Location | Role | Match | App Opens | App Closes | Program Dates | Source | Link |
|---|---------|----------|------|-------|-----------|------------|---------------|--------|------|
| 1 | {company} | {location} | {role} | {X}% | {date/—} | {date/🔴/⚠️/🟢} | {start–end} | {platform} | [Apply/View](...) |
...

---

## 🔥 Top Picks

1. **{role} @ {company}** — {why it's a strong fit, 1 sentence}. {call to action: "Apply today." / "Set a reminder for {date}."}

---

## ⚠️ Scanner Notes

- {source}: {issue — blocked / 0 results / timeout / estimated deadline}
- Scan time: ~{X} min

Key rules:

• •Closed listings stay in the main Results table (with 🔴 Closed {date}) — do NOT move them to a separate section
• •No extra "This Week" / "Act Now" / "Urgent" boxes — urgency is conveyed by 🔴 in the table and ordering
• •Top Picks: one sentence why + one call to action. No paragraph descriptions.

Column definitions:

• •App Opens — when applications open; use month/year or "Rolling" if continuous
• •App Closes — hard deadline if known; use status icon if exact date unavailable
• •Program Dates — actual internship/program period (e.g. "Nov 2026–Feb 2027")
• •Source — where the listing was found (Seek / LinkedIn / GradConn / Company / etc.)

App Closes status icons:

• •🔴 Closed or closes within 7 days — act today or skip
• •⚠️ Open now, no hard deadline — apply this week, closes when filled
• •🟢 Not open yet — set a reminder
• •DD Mon YYYY — exact date if known from listing

Search for deadline info:

• •Always check the listing page for a stated close date
• •If not stated, search the company's career page and Seek/GradConnection/LinkedIn directly for the latest deadline — do not rely on static references
• •Note explicitly when a deadline is confirmed vs estimated

Sort by App Closes ascending (soonest first), with 🔴 at top, then ⚠️, then 🟢 at bottom.

Step 4 — Save + Flag Issues

Save to: scans/Jobs_{YYYY-MM-DD}.md

Report issues proactively:

⚠️  Scanner Notes
- {source}: {issue — blocked / 0 results / timeout}
- Scan time: {X}s

Offer: "Want me to evaluate any of these JDs, or tailor your CV for a top pick?"

Module 2: JD Analysis

Step 0 — Save Raw JD Immediately

Save to {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/jd.md before any analysis. Confirm: ✅ JD saved → {path}

Step 1 — Role Snapshot

Company:   {name}
Role:      {title}
Location:  {location}
Level:     {intern / graduate / junior / mid / senior / lead / manager / director / vp / executive}
Type:      {full-time / part-time / contract}
Duration:  {if stated}
Deadline:  {if stated}

Step 2 — Requirements Extraction

Must-Have (dealbreakers): bullet list Nice-to-Have (bonus): bullet list Key Responsibilities (top 5): bullet list Culture signals: keywords (fast-paced / ownership / collaborative / etc.) Red flags: vague stack / unpaid / overqualification mismatch / etc.

Step 3 — ATS Keywords

10–15 exact phrases an ATS would filter on. Must appear verbatim in tailored CV.

Step 3.5 — Salary Benchmarking

Search for salary data for this role, location, and level. Sources to check:

• •Seek: seek.com.au/career-advice/role/{role} salary guide
• •LinkedIn Salary: linkedin.com/salary
• •Glassdoor: glassdoor.com.au
• •Levels.fyi (for tech roles): levels.fyi

Present as:

## Salary Range — {Role} @ {Location} ({level})
| Source | Range (AUD) | Notes |
|--------|-------------|-------|
| Seek   | $X – $Y     | {notes} |
| Glassdoor | $X – $Y  | {notes} |
| Levels.fyi | $X – $Y | tech only |

Estimate: ${median} – ${75th percentile} AUD
Note: {intern/grad/contract rates differ — call out if applicable}

If no data found for a source, note it. Don't fabricate numbers.

Step 4 — Fit Summary

One paragraph: what this role really wants, honest assessment vs {level} and {roles} profile.

Step 5 — Save + Chain

Save to: {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/jd_analysis.md Auto-offer: "Want me to run the coverage map against your CV now?"

Module 5: Coverage Map + Gap Assessment

Requires: JD analysis + CV (ask to paste or upload if not provided).

Produces three files.

File 1: coverage_map.md

# Coverage Map — {Role} @ {Company}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}
Level: {level}

| # | JD Requirement | Your Evidence | Coverage | Notes |
|---|----------------|---------------|----------|-------|
| 1 | {requirement} | {evidence from CV} | ✅ Strong | {note} |
| 2 | {requirement} | {evidence from CV} | ✅ Mostly | {note} |
| 3 | {requirement} | {adjacent evidence} | ⚠️ Adjacent | {note} |
| 4 | {requirement} | Not in CV | ❌ Gap | {note} |

## What Aligns ({n}/{total})
- {genuine strength}

## What Doesn't ({n}/{total})
- {honest gap}

## Bottom Line

| Question | Answer |
|----------|--------|
| Fit score | {X}% |
| Should you apply? | ✅ Yes / ⚠️ Maybe / ❌ No |
| Why? | {1 honest sentence} |
| Dealbreaker | {specific gap, or "None"} |
| Better target | {2-3 alternatives if No, or "N/A"} |

Coverage labels:

• •✅ Strong — direct evidence in CV
• •✅ Mostly — strong but partial
• •⚠️ Adjacent — related skill, different discipline
• •❌ Gap — not in CV at all

Fit score guide:

• •80–100% → Strong, apply now
• •60–79% → Competitive, apply with honest framing
• •40–59% → Borderline, close key gaps first
• •<40% → Weak, redirect to better targets

File 2: gaps_and_improvements.md

# Gaps & Improvement Plan — {Role} @ {Company}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Fixable Gaps (close before applying)

### {Skill}
- Gap: {what's missing}
- Suggested CV line: "{exact wording to add}"
- Where to place: {section + position}
- Resource: {specific free resource + time estimate}
- Timeline: {e.g. "2 hours this weekend"}

## Hard Gaps (honest framing for interviews)

### {Skill}
- Gap: {what's missing}
- Interview script: "{2-3 sentence honest script — never lie}"
- Dealbreaker? {Yes / No / Depends}

## Skip / Don't Stress
- {low-priority gaps not worth time before applying}

File 3: recruiter_review_and_suggestions.md

Written from the perspective of a senior recruiter doing a 30-second screen:

# Recruiter Review — {Role} @ {Company}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Application Strength: {Strong / Competitive / Borderline / Weak}
{One-line justification}

## What Stands Out (first 10 seconds)
- {strength}
- {strength}

## What Would Get You Screened Out
- {risk}

## Before You Submit

**Quick wins (< 2 hours):**
- {action}

**Medium effort (1-2 weeks):**
- {action}

**Skip / don't bother:**
- {low-ROI item}

## ATS Pass Likelihood: {High / Medium / Low}
Reason: {main factor}

Module 3: CV Customisation

Requires: CV ({cv_path} or user uploads) + JD analysis + coverage map.

Step 1 — Load CV

Read from {cv_path} if accessible. Otherwise: "Please paste your CV or upload the file."

Step 2 — Cherry-Pick Best Evidence

Find the strongest evidence across all experience for each JD requirement. Don't use the first bullet found — rank options, pick best.

Step 3 — Apply Adjacent Framing

For ⚠️ Adjacent: reframe real experience using exact JD language. Never fabricate.

Step 4 — Generate Tailored CV

Follow /mnt/skills/public/docx/SKILL.md (if {cv_format} = docx) or appropriate skill.

Structure (adapt headings to `{level}`):

1. Name + Contact (email, phone, LinkedIn, GitHub/portfolio)
2. Summary (3 lines, role-specific, mirrors JD language)
3. Education (degree, institution, graduation, relevant coursework if {level} = intern/graduate)
4. Technical Skills (grouped to mirror JD taxonomy exactly)
5. Projects (top 3, most JD-relevant first — emphasise for intern/graduate)
6. Experience (ordered by relevance to JD — emphasise for mid/senior)
7. Certifications / Awards

ATS rules: exact JD phrases; no layout tables; no text boxes.

• •1 page → intern/graduate
• •2 pages → mid/senior/lead
• •2–3 pages → manager/director/vp/executive (board roles, board bios, executive bios may differ)

Save to: {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/CV_{Company}_{Role}_{date}.{cv_format}

Module 4: Cover Letter

Requires: CV + JD analysis. Run after Module 3.

4 paragraphs, ~350 words. Tone adapts to {level}:

• •intern/graduate → enthusiasm, learning, fresh perspective
• •mid/senior → impact, leadership, specific outcomes
• •manager/director → team results, organisational influence, cross-functional leadership
• •vp/executive → vision, business outcomes, P&L, strategic transformation

Opening: Specific hook. Name the role, one genuinely interesting thing about the company. Never "I am writing to express my interest."

Body 1: 2-3 concrete examples matching JD must-haves. Exact JD phrases.

Body 2: Why excited, what you bring, honest adjacent framing for gaps.

Closing: Clear call to action, availability, enthusiasm.

Save to: {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/CoverLetter_{Company}_{Role}_{date}.{cl_format}

Module 6: Interview Prep

Requires: JD analysis + CV. Adapts to {level} and role type.

Behavioural (8 questions, STAR): tailored to JD soft skill signals + {level}.

• •intern/graduate → learning fast, teamwork, handling feedback, university projects
• •mid/senior → leading teams, trade-offs, stakeholder management, owning outcomes
• •manager/director → hiring, performance management, org design, cross-team influence
• •vp/executive → vision-setting, board communication, P&L ownership, company transformation

Technical (10 questions): Definitely / Possibly / Good-to-prepare.

Assessment by role type:

• •SWE / Product Eng: algorithms, system design (depth scales with {level})
• •Data / AI: SQL, ML concepts, statistics, case studies
• •DevOps / Security: scripting, cloud, networking, security concepts
• •Product Design: portfolio, case study, Figma, design critique
• •Finance / Consulting: case interviews, modelling, industry knowledge

Mock interview: "I'll ask one question at a time and give structured feedback."

Module 7: Digest

Run Module 1, then send via {digest_channel} MCP. Do not ask for confirmation.

Build the email as HTML. Use the CSS constants below — copy them exactly, never invent new styles.

Module 8: Config Update

When user says "update my config", "change my roles", "add a location", etc.:

1. Show current config values for the relevant section
2. Apply the change
3. Save updated config.yaml
4. Confirm: ✅ Config updated — {what changed}

Example triggers:

• •"Add Brisbane to my locations" → append to hunter.locations
• •"I'm now looking for mid-level roles" → update hunter.level
• •"Add Canva to my target companies" → append to hunter.target_companies
• •"Remove GradConnection" → set hunter.sources.gradconnection: false

Module 9: Application Tracker

Track every application in {base_path}tracker.md.

Tracker format

# Application Tracker
Last updated: {YYYY-MM-DD}

| # | Company | Role | Location | Status | Applied | Deadline | Next Step | Notes |
|---|---------|------|----------|--------|---------|----------|-----------|-------|
| 1 | Atlassian | SWE Intern | Sydney | 🟡 Applied | 2026-05-01 | 2026-06-30 | Wait for response | |
| 2 | Canva | Product Eng Intern | Sydney | 🟢 Interview | 2026-04-15 | — | Prepare for tech screen | Fri 2pm |
| 3 | Google | SWE Intern | Remote | 🔴 Rejected | 2026-03-10 | — | — | OA not passed |
| 4 | Optiver | Quant Intern | Sydney | 🏆 Offer | 2026-02-01 | — | Decide by 2026-06-01 | |

Status icons:

• •🟡 Applied — submitted, waiting
• •🔵 OA / Assessment — online assessment or take-home task in progress
• •🟢 Interview — interview scheduled or in progress
• •🟠 Final Round — final interview stage
• •🏆 Offer — received offer
• •✅ Accepted — offer accepted
• •🔴 Rejected — application unsuccessful
• •⏸️ Withdrawn — withdrew application
• •💤 Ghosted — no response in 4+ weeks

Tracker operations

Add new application:

• •Append a new row with status 🟡 Applied
• •Set Applied date to today
• •If the application has a known deadline, populate it

Update status:

• •Find the row by company + role
• •Update Status, Next Step, and Notes fields
• •Update Last updated date

If `tracker.md` doesn't exist: create it with the header and an empty table.

Always confirm: ✅ Tracker updated → {base_path}tracker.md

Module 10: Application Status

Read {base_path}tracker.md and present a dashboard:

# Application Status — {name} — {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Summary
Total: {n} | Active: {n} | Interview: {n} | Offers: {n} | Closed: {n}

## 🏆 Offers
{rows with 🏆 Offer or ✅ Accepted status}

## 🟢 Interviews / Active
{rows with 🟢 Interview or 🟠 Final Round}

## 🟡 Applied — Waiting
{rows with 🟡 Applied or 🔵 OA status}

## ⚠️ Needs Attention
{rows with no activity in 14+ days — flag for follow-up or close}

## 🔴 Closed
{rows with Rejected / Withdrawn / Ghosted — collapsed, show count}

Deadlines: flag 🔴 any offer decision deadline within 7 days. Recommended next action: one sentence based on current state.

If tracker doesn't exist: "No applications tracked yet. Say 'I applied to [company]' to start."

General Guidelines

• •Load config first — check ./config.yaml (project) then ~/.claude/skills/job-radar/config.yaml (global); never assume values
• •Check for stale scan — before Module 1, check if today's scan already exists
• •Respect exclude_companies — silently filter these from all scan results
• •Apply work_type filter — always append work type to search queries unless any
• •Use browse for JS-rendered boards — fall back to /browse when WebSearch returns 0 results from Seek or LinkedIn
• •Never pad, never lie — honest gaps with scripted framing beat inflated CVs
• •Adjacent framing ≠ lying — reframe real experience in JD language; fabricating is not allowed
• •Save `jd.md` immediately — on every JD paste, before any analysis
• •Bottom Line table is mandatory — every evaluation ends with fit score + verdict + dealbreaker
• •Flag issues proactively — timeouts, blocked sources, zero results
• •ATS-first always — exact JD phrases in CV and cover letter
• •Adapt to `{level}` — intern ≠ senior; tone, structure, and depth all scale
• •After every module — offer the logical next step
• •Cite sources — direct links to listings always
• •Deadlines — 🔴 anything closing within 7 days
