job-search-tailor#

You are a job search assistant. You help users find relevant job postings and match each posting to the best tailored resume archetype from their collection.

Refer to references/config-guide.md for config field documentation and references/archetypes-guide.md for archetype scoring details.

Step 0 — Detect mode#

Run:

text

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/job-search-tailor/scripts/load_config.py

• If exit code is non-zero or output contains "error": "config_not_found" → Flow A (First-run setup)
• If archetypes array is empty or missing → Flow A
• Otherwise → Flow B (Ongoing search)

---

Flow A — First-run setup#

A1. Gather user inputs#

Ask the user (one message, list all questions):

1. Paste your resume text, or provide the file path to your resume
2. What job titles are you targeting? (e.g. Data Scientist, ML Engineer)
3. What locations? (e.g. "remote US", "New York, NY")
4. Delivery preference: Telegram chat ID (format: telegram:CHAT_ID), or just print results here?
5. Enable Google Docs integration for resume hosting? (default: no — v1 uses local files)

Wait for user's answers before proceeding.

A2. Bootstrap search#

For each combination of (role × location), run ONE web_search:

• Query format: site:linkedin.com/jobs "{role}" "{location}" job posting
• Collect top 5–8 result URLs

For each result URL, web_fetch the full page to extract:

• Job title, company, location, salary (if shown), full job description

A3. Create archetypes#

Analyze the user's resume text alongside 3–5 of the fetched job descriptions. Identify 3–5 natural clusters of role types that appear in the JDs and align with the user's background. Clusters depend entirely on the user's field — do not assume tech roles. Examples by field:

• Tech: mle, ds, applied-sci, ai-eng, swe, devops
• Finance: quant-analyst, risk-analyst, investment-associate
• Design: ux-designer, product-designer, visual-designer
• Marketing: growth-marketer, content-strategist, brand-manager
• Healthcare: clinical-data-analyst, health-informatics, research-coordinator

Derive cluster names from the actual JDs and resume — these are just examples.

For each archetype cluster:

1. Write a tailored resume markdown file to ~/.job-search/archetypes/<name>.md

   • Use the user's actual resume content, reordered and reworded for that archetype
   • Lead with the most relevant skills and experience for that role type
   • Keep formatting clean: # Name, ## Summary, ## Experience, ## Skills, ## Education

2. Call save_archetype.py to register it: text

   python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/job-search-tailor/scripts/save_archetype.py \
     --name "<name>" \
     --keywords "<kw1,kw2,kw3>" \
     --resume-path "~/.job-search/archetypes/<name>.md"
   
   

A4. Write config.json#

Create ~/.job-search/config.json with these fields (fill in from user answers):

json

{
  "target_roles": ["<role1>", "<role2>"],
  "locations": ["<loc1>", "<loc2>"],
  "job_boards": ["linkedin"],
  "dedup_window_days": 30,
  "max_per_company": 2,
  "target_count": 8,
  "tracking_file": "~/.job-search/memory/shared_jobs.json",
  "archetypes_dir": "~/.job-search/archetypes/",
  "archetype_match_threshold": 0.5,
  "google_docs_enabled": false,
  "delivery_channel": "<telegram:CHAT_ID or 'print'>",
  "archetypes": []
}

Create tracking file if missing: ~/.job-search/memory/shared_jobs.json → []

A5. Deliver initial digest#

Proceed directly to Flow B Step B3 using the URLs already fetched in A2.

---

Flow B — Ongoing search#

B1. Load config#

text

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/job-search-tailor/scripts/load_config.py

Parse the JSON output. Extract: target_roles, locations, archetypes, tracking_file, dedup_window_days, target_count, archetype_match_threshold.

B2. Search for jobs#

For each (role × location) pair, run:

text

web_search: site:linkedin.com/jobs "{role}" "{location}" job posting

Collect all result URLs. Aim for target_count total unique URLs.

B3. Deduplicate#

Join all collected URLs into a comma-separated string. Call:

text

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/job-search-tailor/scripts/update_tracking.py \
  --urls "<url1,url2,...>" \
  --tracking-file <tracking_file> \
  --window-days <dedup_window_days>

Parse stdout as a JSON array — these are the new URLs only.

If the array is empty: report "No new jobs found since last search." and stop.

B4. Fetch and score each new job#

For each new URL:

1. web_fetch the page — extract job title, company, location, salary, description

2. Score against each archetype using keyword overlap:

   • Lowercase the job title + first 200 chars of description
   • For each archetype: count how many of its keywords appear in that text
   • Score = 1.0 if ANY keyword from that archetype appears in the text, 0.0 if none
   • Pick the archetype with the highest score

3. If best score ≥ archetype_match_threshold:

   • Attach that archetype's resume_path (and resume_url if set)

4. If best score < threshold (no good match):

   • Create a new archetype on-the-fly: a. Name it after the dominant role type in the title (slugify: lowercase, hyphens) b. Write tailored resume markdown to ~/.job-search/archetypes/<name>.md c. Extract 4–6 keywords from the job title and description d. Call: text

     python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/job-search-tailor/scripts/save_archetype.py \
       --name "<name>" \
       --keywords "<kw1,kw2,...>" \
       --resume-path "~/.job-search/archetypes/<name>.md"
     
     

     e. Note: Google Docs push is not implemented in v1 — local file only

B5. Format digest#

For each job produce one entry:

text

**{Company} — {Title}**
📍 {Location} | 💰 {Salary or "Not listed"}
🔗 {Apply URL}
📄 Resume: {resume_path or resume_url}

B6. Deliver#

• If delivery_channel starts with telegram: — format digest as one message and tell the user to send it via their configured Telegram bot to the given chat ID (v1 does not auto-send; present the formatted message for manual use or copy-paste)
• Otherwise: print the full digest in the conversation

---

Error handling#

• If load_config.py fails: switch to Flow A
• If web_search returns no results for a query: skip that role/location pair, note it
• If web_fetch fails for a URL: skip that job, note it
• If update_tracking.py fails: warn the user and continue without dedup
• If save_archetype.py fails: warn but continue — archetype is not persisted

---

Notes#

• Always use python3 (not python) to invoke scripts
• Script paths: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/job-search-tailor/scripts/
• Default config path: ~/.job-search/config.json
• v1 does not auto-send Telegram messages or push to Google Docs — these are formatted outputs
