Job searching manually takes hours that most people do not have. You open LinkedIn Jobs, search your title, scroll through dozens of results, copy the good ones, then open Indeed and start again. After you finish Glassdoor, RemoteOK, Wellfound, and We Work Remotely, you have spent two hours compiling a list full of duplicates. The actual applications you wanted to send are still waiting.
I built the AI job finder skill to eliminate that process entirely. You give it your role, experience level, and location preference. It searches six job boards in parallel, strips out duplicate listings, and saves a clean structured file you can act on immediately. The search that used to take two hours takes one prompt.
What Is the AI Job Finder Skill?
A skill file is a portable set of AI instructions written in the Agent Skills format, an open standard that tells an AI agent exactly what steps to follow for a specific task. You install it once in your AI tool and it is ready to run whenever you need it. The same file works in Claude AI, Zo Computer, OpenClaw, and any other agent framework that supports the format.
The Job Finder is the first in a five-skill pipeline I built for job seekers. The Complete AI Job Application Pipeline shows you how all five skills connect, from finding listings all the way through to sending your application in one session.
What the AI Job Finder Skill Does
The skill follows a five-step workflow every time you activate it.
1. Gathers Your Search Parameters
You give it your profession or role (required) and any additional preferences: experience level (junior, mid, senior), work type (remote, hybrid, onsite), location, and how many results you want (default is 20). If you only provide a role, the skill applies sensible defaults and proceeds. Nothing to configure in advance.
2. Searches Six Job Boards in Parallel
This is the step that saves the most time. The skill searches LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, and Glassdoor simultaneously as its primary tier. Depending on your role and preferences, it also pulls from Wellfound (startup and tech roles), Hacker News "Who's Hiring," RemoteOK, and We Work Remotely. All in the same pass. It filters for recency by default, prioritizing listings posted in the last two weeks so stale roles do not clutter your results.
3. Extracts and Structures Each Listing
For every result it finds, the skill pulls out the job title, company name, location or "Remote," the direct link to the posting, the date posted, salary range if visible, and a two to three sentence description. No raw search dumps. Every listing is normalized into the same format so the file is immediately readable.
4. Deduplicates by URL
The same job often appears on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor at the same time. The skill deduplicates by job URL, so you see each opportunity exactly once. Your saved file only contains unique listings.
5. Saves a Structured Results File
Results are saved automatically to Documents/job-search/YYYY-MM-DD-[role-slug]-jobs.md in your workspace. The file has a header with the date, search parameters, and total unique listings, followed by numbered entries. You can open it, share it, or feed it into the next skill in the pipeline.
Who Is This Skill For?
Active job seekers who check multiple boards manually. If your current process involves opening five browser tabs and cross-referencing by hand, this AI job finder skill eliminates that entirely. Run one prompt and get one clean file. The time you save goes toward applications and interviews.
Career changers exploring a new field. Before you update your resume for a role you have never held, run the skill for that title and see what companies are actually hiring, what they pay, and what qualifications come up most often. You get a live market picture in minutes instead of hours.
Freelancers tracking contract opportunities. Wellfound and We Work Remotely list short-term and project-based roles alongside full-time jobs. Running the skill weekly keeps a fresh list of contracts without manual monitoring.
Business owners researching competitive salaries. Search for the role you are hiring for and see what competing companies are offering. The results give you a real benchmark before you post.
Anyone building a full application workflow. Once you have your results file, the next step is finding the recruiter behind each listing. The AI Recruiter Extractor Skill takes a job URL or company name and returns the recruiter's contact details automatically. Together, the two skills cover discovery and direct outreach in one session.

A Note from Me
I built this skill because I watched job seekers spend more time organizing their search than actually applying. The boards are scattered, results overlap, and by the time you have a shortlist you are already fatigued before writing a single cover letter. What I love most about how it works is the parallel search: it does not go board by board, it runs them simultaneously and gives you one clean output at the end.
