What this skill does
# JobGPT - Job Search Automation ## Overview JobGPT connects your AI assistant to a complete job search automation platform via the JobGPT MCP server. It provides 34 tools covering job search, auto-apply, resume generation, application tracking, salary intelligence, and recruiter outreach so you can manage your entire job hunt from your AI coding assistant. Built by [6figr.com](https://6figr.com/jobgpt-ai), the platform supports 150+ countries with salary data, job matching, and automated applications. ## When to Use This Skill - You want to **search for jobs** with filters like titles, locations, salary, remote, and H1B sponsorship - You want to **auto-apply** to jobs automatically - You want to **generate a tailored resume** for a specific job application - You want to **track your job applications** across multiple job hunts - You want to **find recruiters or referrers** at target companies and send outreach emails - You want to **import a job** from LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or any job board URL - You want to **check your salary** and compare compensation across roles ## Setup This skill requires the JobGPT MCP server: 1. **Create an account** - Sign up at [6figr.com/jobgpt-ai](https://6figr.com/jobgpt-ai) 2. **Get an API key** - Go to [6figr.com/account](https://6figr.com/account), scroll to MCP Integrations, and click Generate API Key. The key starts with `mcp_`. 3. **Add the MCP server:** - Claude Code: `claude mcp add jobgpt -t http -u https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp --header "Authorization: <api-key>"` - Other tools: Add `jobgpt-mcp-server` as an MCP server with env var `JOBGPT_API_KEY` set. Install via `npx jobgpt-mcp-server`. Set the `JOBGPT_API_KEY` environment variable when you are running the local `npx jobgpt-mcp-server` path. ## Examples ### Find Remote Jobs > "Find remote senior React jobs paying over $150k" The skill uses `search_jobs` with title, remote, and salary filters to find matching positions, then presents results with company, title, location, salary range, and key skills. ### Auto-Apply to Jobs > "Auto-apply to the top 5 matches from my job hunt" The skill checks that your resume is uploaded, uses `match_jobs` to find new matches, saves the selected matches with `add_job_to_applications`, then triggers `apply_to_job` for each resulting application. It monitors progress with `get_application_stats`. ### Generate a Tailored Resume > "Generate a tailored resume for this Google application" The skill calls `generate_resume_for_job` to create an AI-optimized resume targeting the specific job's requirements, then provides the download link via `get_generated_resume`. ### Import and Apply from a URL > "Apply to this job for me - https://boards.greenhouse.io/company/jobs/12345" The skill uses `import_job_by_url` to import the job from any supported platform (LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday), adds it to applications, and optionally triggers auto-apply. ### Recruiter Outreach > "Find recruiters for this job and draft an outreach email" The skill finds recruiters with `get_job_recruiters` and helps craft a personalized message. The draft is presented to the user for review; `send_outreach` is only called after explicit user confirmation. ### Check Application Stats > "Show my application stats for the last 7 days" The skill uses `get_application_stats` for an aggregated overview - total counts by status, auto-apply metrics, and pipeline progress. ## Best Practices - **Check credits first** - Auto-apply and resume generation consume credits. Use `get_credits` before batch operations. - **Complete your profile** - Run `get_profile` first and fill in missing fields with `update_profile` for better job matches. - **Upload a resume before applying** - Use `list_resumes` to check, and `upload_resume` if needed. - **Use job hunts for ongoing searches** - Create a job hunt with `create_job_hunt` to save filters and get continuous matches. - **Use `get_application` for saved jobs** - If a user asks about a job they've already saved, use `get_application` instead of `get_job`. ## Troubleshooting | Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | "Missing Authorization header" | For Claude Code and other remote HTTP MCP setups, confirm the `Authorization` header is configured on the MCP server entry | | "Missing API key" | For the local `npx jobgpt-mcp-server` setup, ensure `JOBGPT_API_KEY` is set to your API key | | "Insufficient credits" | Check balance with `get_credits`. Purchase more at 6figr.com/account | | Auto-apply not working | Ensure a resume is uploaded and the job hunt has auto-apply enabled | | No job matches found | Broaden your search filters (fewer titles, more locations, wider salary range) | ## Additional Resources - [JobGPT Platform](https://6figr.com/jobgpt-ai) - Sign up and manage your account - [MCP Server Repo](https://github.com/6figr-com/jobgpt-mcp-server) - Source code and setup guides - [Skills Repo](https://github.com/6figr-com/skills) - This skill's source - [npm Package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jobgpt-mcp-server) - Install via npm ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
