About this skill

Career-Ops Apify Job Source is a skill in career-ops-hq/career-ops (74k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 246 tokens, with 3 other files in the folder. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26384e5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APIFY_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Career-Ops Apify Job Source loads about 246 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 66 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~246

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:11
    ia auto-detection. Put `APIFY_TOKEN` in `.env`.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

How to scan a job source through an Apify actor as a keyed provider.
license
MIT

apify plugin

A keyed provider: runs an Apify actor and maps its dataset items into the scanner. It fires ONLY on a portals.yml entry that sets provider: apify — never via auto-detection. Put APIFY_TOKEN in .env.

portals.yml entry

yaml
tracked_companies:
  - name: "Indeed — VP Engineering (Chicago)"
    provider: apify
    actor: misceres/indeed-scraper
    input: { position: "VP of Engineering", location: "Chicago, IL", maxItems: 25 }
    field_map:
      title:    [positionName, title]    # array = first non-empty wins
      url:      url
      company:  [company, companyName]
      location: [location, formattedLocation]

Then

node scan.mjs runs the provider for that entry and writes the results to the pipeline like any other source. An optional field_map.description caches the JD locally under jds/.
