Ilya Strelov b8d35a4b69 Add freehire-search: country-agnostic freehire.dev aggregator skill (#85)
* 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.

# freehire.dev API reference
The endpoints, parameters, and response shapes this skill depends on. This is the
file to update if the freehire API changes. Base URL defaults to
`https://freehire.dev` and is overridable via the `FREEHIRE_API_URL` env var.
## Authentication
None for reads. `GET /api/v1/jobs/*` and `/companies/*` are public; only per-user
tracking mutations (`apply`/`save`/`me`) require a bearer API key, and this skill
does not use them.
Verified against the live API:
| Endpoint | Status |
|----------|--------|
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/search` | 200 |
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/facets` | 200 |
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/{slug}` | 200 |
| `GET /api/v1/auth/me` | 401 (auth required — not used here) |
## Envelope
Every response is `{ "data": ..., "meta": {...}, "error": "..." }`. Lists put the
array in `data` and pagination in `meta` (`{ total, limit, offset }`); a single
item puts the object in `data`. Errors are `{ "error": "<message>" }` with a 4xx/5xx
status (e.g. 404 → `{ "error": "not found" }`).
## `GET /api/v1/jobs/search`
Full-text + facet search over open jobs. Returns `data: [job, …]` with
`meta.total` = the total match count.
Query parameters used by the skill:
| Param | Maps to CLI flag | Notes |
|-------|------------------|-------|
| `q` | `--query` / `-q` | Keyword full-text query. |
| `limit` | `--limit` / `-n` | Page size. Default 25 in the CLI. |
| `offset` | (derived) | `offset = (page - 1) * limit`. |
| `semantic_ratio` | (fixed `0`) | Keyword search; the semantic index is opt-in. |
| `posted_within_days` | `--jobage` | Restrict to postings from the last N days. |
| `regions` | `--region` | Repeatable; OR within the facet. Values like `global`, `eu`, `us`, `apac`, `latam`, `cis`. |
| `countries` | `--country` | Repeatable; ISO-3166 alpha-2 (lowercased). |
| `cities` | `--city` | Repeatable; display-name city. |
| `seniority` | `--seniority` | Repeatable; `junior`, `middle`, `senior`, `staff`, … |
| `category` | `--category` | Repeatable; `backend`, `frontend`, `fullstack`, `devops`, `ml_ai`, … |
| `skills` | `--skill` | Repeatable; canonical skill names. |
| `company_slug` | `--company` | Single company. |
| `work_mode` | `--remote` | `remote` \| `hybrid` \| `onsite`. |
| any facet param | `--facet key=value` | Escape hatch for the long tail (e.g. `salary_min`, `visa_sponsorship`, `employment_type`, `english_level`). |
Repeated params (`?seniority=senior&seniority=staff`) are ORed within a facet;
different facets are ANDed (geography ORs into one location group). Deep paging is
bounded server-side (`offset + limit ≤ 10000`).
### Job object (the fields the skill reads)
```jsonc
{
"public_slug": "golang-zensar-2bxu6dxm", // -> result.id, and detail's <slug>
"source": "oracle",
"external_id": "…",
"url": "https://…", // the real posting URL (ATS host)
"title": "GOLANG",
"company": "Zensar",
"company_slug": "zensar",
"location": "India", // free-text ATS location
"description": "<ul><li>…</li></ul>", // HTML; the skill strips it for detail
"skills": ["go", "kubernetes", ], // dictionary facet (top-level)
"work_mode": "remote", // may be absent
"regions": ["apac"], // dictionary/hybrid facet
"countries": ["in"],
"cities": [],
"collections": [],
"posted_at": "2026-07-06T00:00:00Z", // -> result.date (nullable)
"created_at": "2026-07-06T15:25:…Z",
"enrichment": { // nested, typed; {} when unenriched
"seniority": "senior",
"category": "backend",
"employment_type": "full_time",
"salary_min": 90000, "salary_max": 120000, "salary_currency": "EUR"
}
}
```
The internal numeric id is deliberately never exposed; `public_slug` is the stable
identifier.
## `GET /api/v1/jobs/{slug}`
A single job by its `public_slug`. Returns the same job object in `data`. A closed
posting is still served here (with a non-null `closed_at`); a missing slug is 404
`{ "error": "not found" }`. The skill's `detail` command maps a 404 to a
`NOT_FOUND` error on stderr.
## `GET /api/v1/jobs/facets`
The market's facet-value distributions under an optional filter — each facet's live
values with counts. `data.facets` is `{ <facet>: { <value>: <count> } }`. This skill
does not call it programmatically, but it is the vocabulary source the SKILL.md
points users to (`?q=<role>` scopes the counts). Example:
`GET /api/v1/jobs/facets?q=react`.
## Parsing notes
- The response is JSON, so there is no HTML card parsing (unlike the scraping
portals). The only markup handling is stripping the `description`'s HTML into
readable text (`cleanHtml` in `cli/src/helpers.ts`).
- Fetch uses a browser-ish User-Agent, `Accept: application/json`, and exponential
backoff with jitter on 429/5xx (max 6 retries). A connection error (API
unreachable) fails fast with a clear message — no retry, since it is not
transient server load — which is the graceful-degradation contract: an outage
degrades this source quickly instead of hanging the caller.
