A default search hydrates full bodies - ~73% of the payload, ~20k tokens
per query fed into agent context - while /scrape's own Step 2 says to
pre-filter by title before reading bodies. The flag keeps every other
field and drops the bodies (live 10-result search: ~58k -> ~10k chars);
hydration stays the default per the documented trade-off. The API
returns bodies regardless of include_description=false (verified live),
so the lean guarantee is enforced client-side. Review opportunity O1
(2026-08-19), approved as an enhancement.

The skill queried /api/v1/jobs/search, whose `description` is the search
index's truncated preview — and the CLI dropped it entirely, so a result
carried only title/company/location/date/url. Reading a posting therefore
meant a `detail` call per hit, which is exactly what job-scraper's Step 2
prescribes: "fetch full detail with that portal's `detail` command".
freehire exposes a search endpoint for programmatic consumers,
/api/v1/agent/jobs/search: same query, ranking, facets and pagination, but
asked to (`include_description=true`) it replaces the preview with the
posting's full description read from the database, rendered as
`description_format=markdown|text|html`. Reproduce the difference:
curl -s "https://freehire.me/api/v1/jobs/search?q=golang&limit=1" \
| jq -r '.data[0].description | length' # preview, capped
curl -s "https://freehire.me/api/v1/agent/jobs/search?q=golang&limit=1\
&include_description=true&description_format=markdown" \
| jq -r '.data[0].description | length' # full text
So `search` now calls that endpoint, always asking for full descriptions,
and each JSON result carries `description` verbatim — no client-side HTML
stripping, since the API already rendered it. Markdown is the default
because it preserves the headings and requirement lists /rank reasons over;
`--description-format text|html` selects the others. The flag is validated
client-side: the API answers an unrecognized format with raw HTML rather
than an error, so a typo would silently change the output instead of
failing.
`table` and `plain` stay description-free — a full posting body would swamp
a scannable list — and `detail` is untouched, for looking one posting up by
slug (including a closed one, absent from search).
One behaviour change beyond the endpoint: a 404 from the search path used
to be folded into an empty result set. On the agent endpoint a 404 means
the instance predates it — a self-hosted freehire behind FREEHIRE_API_URL —
so it is now reported as an error naming the path, instead of a plausible
"no results" that hides the misconfiguration.
Tests cover the requested URL and params, verbatim (unstripped) markdown,
the null-when-absent case, the 404-is-an-error contract, and the flag
validation. All network-free.
freehire moved its primary domain from freehire.dev to freehire.me. Update the
freehire-search skill's default API base URL, help text, docs, and examples.
Backward-compatible: FREEHIRE_API_URL still overrides the base (self-hosting),
and normalizeSlug is host-agnostic so pasted freehire.dev/jobs/<slug> URLs still
resolve. The GitHub repo link (github.com/strelov1/freehire) is unchanged. All
27 CLI tests pass; the freehire.me API answers 200 for /jobs/search + /jobs/facets.
Implements the mechanism approved in discussion #93: enabled: true|false frontmatter on portal skills (missing key = enabled), honored during /scrape portal discovery, with skipped portals reported visibly in the run summary.
* feat(freehire-search): add country-agnostic freehire.dev aggregator skill
Adds a portal-search skill over the freehire.dev public JSON API — an
open-source IT job aggregator normalizing ~50 ATS platforms across many
markets into one schema. Like linkedin-search it is country-agnostic and
zero-dependency (plain bun + fetch), but it queries a JSON API rather than
scraping HTML, so results carry structured facets (skills/seniority/region).
Honors the portal-skill contract: search + detail commands, --format
json|table|plain, stderr JSON errors with exit 1, backoff on 429/5xx. Reads
are public (no API key) — the same zero-signup bar as linkedin-search. The
hosted-service dependency (best-effort, no SLA) is labeled prominently in
SKILL.md, and FREEHIRE_API_URL swaps the base URL for a self-hosted backend.
Scoped tech-first: triggers cover software/data/engineering roles, where the
faceted filtering is strong; non-tech coverage exists but is still maturing.
Network-free tests (mocked fetch + pure reshape/parse functions); CI matrix
updated to typecheck the new CLI.
* refactor(freehire-search): clarity pass on cli flag parsing
No behavior change. Replace a nested ternary and a comma-operator side effect
in a ternary with explicit if/else, and fix a comment that described facets
while sitting on the alias map.
* refactor(freehire-search): tighten to boundary contracts, trim comments
- Validate/normalize at boundaries, trust the declared types inside: drop the
redundant '?? []' guards on facet arrays the wire contract already guarantees,
and the re-filter in buildQuery (commaList already stripped empties).
- Model enrichment as always-present (an unenriched job serializes it as {}),
removing the '?? {}' guard.
- Replace the positional table-row builder with a declarative column list; add a
shared shortDate and a labeled-field helper for detail's plain output.
- Extract stringFlag for the string-or-bare-boolean flags (--remote/--query/...).
- Dedup the response parse in apiGet to a single tolerant read (drop safeJson).
- SKILL.md: document partial data + the 'none' unspecified-region facet.
- Trim restating comments to the reference skills' density.
