What it does
Market Mapper is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when the user, often employed and discreet, wants to watch the market rather than apply now, such as mapping organisations similar to their employer, spotting who is hiring or growing, identifying decision makers, or getting a weekly update on what has changed. Builds an evidenced map of ten to fifteen organisations with dated signals and discreet approach angles.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/company-mapping.md`, `references/market-map-board.md` and `references/market-map-template.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Internal communications. The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).
When your agent uses it

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
Market Mapper loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,912 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,912 words (~3,521 tokens).
“Spot the organisations worth watching before they advertise, know who runs them, and keep the picture current without redoing the work each week.”
