The Hunter skill

Eleven Claude skills that land you the job. Free, MIT, no signup, no API key, nothing to connect.

skills/hunter-scout skills/hunter-resume skills/hunter-research skills/hunter-linkedin skills/hunter-connector skills/hunter-cover skills/hunter-apply skills/hunter-interview skills/hunter-salary skills/hunter-followup skills/hunter-tracker

One finds the best job listings and ranks them by fit. One rewrites your resume for every role. One researches each company. One optimizes your LinkedIn for the job. And one is the connector: it finds the hiring manager, researches them, reaches out and books the coffee chat before your application is even sent.

So instead of sending thousands of resumes and never hearing back, you go in with a warm intro, a resume that reads like the job description, and the company’s own interview loop in your head.

Nothing is ever sent or submitted without your yes. Claude drafts, you approve, it goes out from your own accounts.

Install

Paste this repo link into Claude and say install skill:

https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/hunter-skill

install skill

Or as a plugin, in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Jakeschincariol/hunter-skill
/plugin install hunter-skill@hunter-skill

Claude Code namespaces plugin skills, so installed as a plugin they show up as /hunter-skill:hunter-scout and so on. Copy the folders instead if you want plain /hunter-scout:

git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/hunter-skill.git
cp -r hunter-skill/skills/hunter-* ~/.claude/skills/

No Claude Code at all? Paste any single SKILL.md at the top of a chat and it runs as a mode. You lose the Python tools, but the method works. The tools need Python 3.8 or newer. Nothing to pip install.

How to use it

Everything lands in a hunter/ folder in your project, and each skill reads what the last one wrote.

An example: Jordan Reyes, a Software Engineer in Chicago, going for Google.

1. hunter-scout searches the boards for backend and infrastructure roles, scores each against Jordan’s profile and saves the best to hunter/jobs.json. Google’s own careers site does not allow scripts, so the skill walks Jordan through a saved search there instead.
2. hunter-research builds hunter/companies/google.md: the business, the latest 10-K and earnings 8-K, the Cloud infrastructure team, and Google’s hiring process from Google’s own pages.
3. hunter-resume rewrites Jordan’s resume against the posting. The match score goes from 54 to 96, and every number and skill in the new version is traced back to the old one.
4. hunter-linkedin rewrites the headline and About for the role and fills the skills the posting asks for.
5. hunter-connector finds the hiring manager from the posting and the team page, researches their public talks and posts, guesses their work email with a confidence score, and drafts a 74-character LinkedIn note and a short email. Jordan says yes to each one. Two polite follow-ups at most, then it stops. When the manager replies, it books the coffee chat on Jordan’s calendar, with Jordan’s OK.
6. hunter-cover, hunter-apply: the letter, then the form filled and left for Jordan to submit.
7. hunter-interview runs the loop: coding, system design, behavioral.
8. hunter-salary when the offer comes: total comp by year, the counter.
9. hunter-followup and hunter-tracker keep every thread moving.

The tools

All standard-library Python. The network tools read public pages and APIs only, identify themselves, and go slowly.

python3 skills/hunter-scout/jobs.py search                          # ranked listings -> hunter/jobs.json

Fine print

Nothing goes out without your yes. Every message, follow-up and application is a draft until you approve that exact one. Emails go through your own email as drafts first. LinkedIn messages are sent by you: LinkedIn’s terms forbid bots and automated messaging, so Claude drafts and you click Send. Application forms are filled and left for you to submit.

Public, professional information only. The connector researches a person’s public work: their profile, posts, talks, papers, the company site. Never their personal life, family, home or private accounts. Guessed email addresses are marked as guesses with a confidence, never as verified.

Stop rules. At the first “no” or any sign they are not interested, it stops. Two follow-ups at most. Nothing after 21 days of silence. A request to stop is honoured forever.

Never invents anything. No made-up jobs, titles, degrees, dates or numbers on a resume, a cover letter, LinkedIn or a form. It rewrites and reorders what is true, and asks when something is missing.

Sources are cited. Interview loops come from each company’s own published prep pages, and anything else is marked community-reported. Salary benchmarks come from public data (BLS) or ranges you supply, with the source shown.

No guarantees. It makes you better prepared and better connected. It cannot promise an interview, an offer or a number.
