## What it does

The skill loads your profile from `DATA_DIR/resume/*`, your `preferences.md`, and the job history so it can skip postings you have already seen. It then drives hiring.cafe through the Claude in Chrome MCP tools, entering search terms and applying filters for posting date and location. Terms come from the command argument, or from your target roles when you leave it out.

Listings are pulled with `javascript_tool` and a targeted selector rather than `get_page_text`. That matters: the full page text on a job board will blow out your context window. Each listing gets scored against your resume and preferences, everything is appended to `job-history.md`, and high-fit matches get followed through to the employer's careers page, where the posting is saved to `DATA_DIR/jobs/[company-slug]-[date]/posting.md`.

Both a resume and a preferences file are required, so the prerequisite check stops early without them. You also need to allow reads and writes under `~/.proficiently/**`, `crontab`, and `mcp__claude-in-chrome__*` in `~/.claude/settings.json`. If a `linkedin-contacts.csv` is present, the skill cross-references company names against it and tells you who you already know at each match. It won't rewrite your resume or fill in applications — separate commands handle that.
