What it does

Employer Footprint is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when the user wants a full, scored audit of what an employer would find about them online, matched to a specific target company or role. Runs parallel research across social media, public content, and search presence, then produces a credit-report style dashboard of positive and negative signals with recommendations. For a quick, informal social media check, use social-media-review instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/deep-research-reflection.md`, `references/digital-footprint-audit.md` and `references/employer-impression-analysis.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a full
  • Scored audit of what an employer would find about them online
  • Matched to a specific target company

Example prompts

  • “/employer-footprint”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Full Footprint Analysis
  2. Social Media Audit
  3. Employer Impression Report
  4. Interview Questions from Footprint

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c19cefe. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Employer Footprint loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~20k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,743 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~20k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,743 words (~4,266 tokens).

“See yourself through an employer's eyes. A deep-research swarm audit of your digital footprint, synthesised into a credit-report style dashboard with actionable recommendations.”
