jobfishing AI Skills
jobfishing (jobfish.ing, formerly JobMatchFlow) is a free AI job search and CV matching service for Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany and the Netherlands. This repository is its open-source part: tools that let your own AI agent run the search for any country. (The name is a pun on fishing for jobs; it has nothing to do with jobs in the fishing industry. More: jobfish.ing/about.)
Open-source Claude Code and Codex tools that let an AI agent run your job search: find jobs, score them against your CV and profile, recommend the best, and, with a jobfishing account, apply through your own visible Chrome, tailor resumes and cover letters, track outcomes, and prep you for interviews.
Two ways in, and they work together:
- No account, fully local. Crawl jobs for any market (Hong Kong, UK, US...) into a SQLite database on your machine (listing first, then the text of the jobs worth it, gently, since there is no proxy), have your agent score many at once, and get ranked recommendations on a small local dashboard. Nothing leaves your computer except the job searches.
- With a jobfishing account. jobfishing already crawls Switzerland, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, scores them for you, and keeps your profile, resumes, saved answers and application status. Your agent reads and writes that data only through the bundled MCP server, and only touches Gmail, Outlook Web and job boards through your own already-logged-in Chrome, never a hidden or headless browser. Your local jobs and the jobfishing list are ranked together on one scale.
How to use it
Everything below is a sentence you paste into Codex or Claude Code. You never run jobfishing yourself.

A first run, step by step
Paste these in order, one message each.
- Crawl. "Use $jobfishing-rank. Crawl data engineer, data platform engineer and analytics engineer jobs in Hong Kong, posted in the last 3 days." It fetches the listings in seconds. LinkedIn jobs arrive as titles only; Indeed jobs arrive complete.
- Fetch the job texts. "From the titles, pick the LinkedIn jobs worth scoring (skip irrelevant ones and duplicates) and fetch their text." It fetches a few at a time on purpose. If LinkedIn starts limiting your connection, it stops and tells you to wait a few minutes. jobfishing's own job list (Switzerland, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Rotterdam) is not limited that way.
- Score. "Score the jobs that have their text. Use my jobfishing profile if I'm signed in, otherwise my CV at
C:\path\to\cv.pdf." Many jobs are scored at once. The profile jobfishing keeps is more complete than a single CV; a CV works too.
- Look at the results. "Open the jobfishing dashboard." The Recommended tab ranks your local jobs and, when you are signed in, your jobfishing jobs, on one scale. Click a job for the score breakdown and the posting.
- Keep the good ones. In the dashboard click Save to jobfishing..., tick the jobs, and paste the prompt it gives you into your agent. They appear in your jobfishing Saved list with their scores, private to you.
- Start the next batch clean. When you have finished with this batch, click Clear all jobs in the dashboard. It asks first. The jobs disappear from the page; the rows stay in the database file but stay hidden. Then go back to step 1.
- Go from found to applied (needs a jobfishing account): "Use $jobfishing-tailor for the top job in my Saved list", then "Use $jobfishing-apply to apply to my Saved jobs" and "Use $jobfishing-apply to check my inbox and update my application statuses".
The dashboard also shows ready-made prompts at the right moments: one when jobs are waiting to be scored, one after a crawl when some jobs have only a title, and one for saving.
What you need to set up, and what you do not
You do not follow an install guide, unzip anything, or install Python. The one-line install does everything, and uv fetches whatever the tools need.
