How to use the Danish Job Search agent skill (jobdanmark-search)

What is an agent skill and what does this one do?

An agent skill is a folder of instructions and tools that an AI agent can load when a request matches its description. This skill is defined by a SKILL.md file. When you ask about jobs in Denmark, the agent runs a bundled command-line tool written in TypeScript that queries the public data behind Jobdanmark.dk.

The skill can search listings by keyword, city, municipality, zip code, region, category or job type. It can also open a single posting to read its description and deadline, list the job categories with current live counts, and suggest exact job titles and locations to make searches more precise. No account or API key is needed.

• Search listings by keyword, location, category and job type
• Read full postings, including description and deadline
• List the 10 job categories with live job counts
• Look up job title, category and location IDs for precise filters

Install the jobdanmark-search skill

You can install the skill in one of three places. Download the ZIP from the directory page and unzip it into your personal skills folder, ~/.claude/skills/, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. Alternatively, in the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities and upload the skill under Skills.

The CLI needs the Bun runtime, because the skill runs bun run on a TypeScript file. The bundled README gives the install step for the cli folder, which you run from the skill directory.

The skill ships disabled. Its SKILL.md notes that it is a Danish demo portal and is opt-in, so set enabled to true in the frontmatter yourself if you want it active outside a Denmark setup.

• Download the ZIP from the directory page
• Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or into .claude/skills/ inside one project
• Or upload it in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills
• Make sure Bun is installed before first use

How to trigger the skill with natural requests

You do not need to name the skill. The description tells the agent to use it for anything about Danish job listings, job search in Denmark, or vacancies on Jobdanmark, even without the word jobdanmark.dk. It also matches Danish phrases such as jobsøgning, ledige stillinger, studiejob and praktikplads.

Write requests the way you would ask a person. Naming a city, a job type or a field helps the agent pick the right filters.

• "Find IT jobs in Copenhagen that are full-time"
• "Are there any student jobs in Aarhus?"
• "Show me the job categories with the most listings right now"
• "Open the full posting for the IT manager job and tell me the deadline"
• "Compare nursing jobs in two municipalities"

Commands the agent runs

The agent calls the CLI with one of five commands. You can run them yourself to see the raw output. Each accepts --format json, table or plain. Search results come 30 per page; use --page to move through them and --limit to cap output.

Job type values are fuldtid, deltid, fleksjob, elev, studiejob and praktik. Filters can be combined in one search.

• search: filter listings with flags such as --text, --category, --municipality, --zip, --job-type
• detail <slug>: full posting, using the slug from a search result
• categories: all 10 categories with live counts
• autocomplete --query: find job title or category IDs
• locations --query: find municipality, zip, region or administrative region names

Worked examples

A typical session is search, then detail. The agent finds matching jobs and their slugs, then opens the one you pick. The skill also recommends resolving locations and job titles first so that filter values are correct. A location value passed under the wrong flag matches no jobs.

• Copenhagen IT full-time jobs: search with --category 227978, --municipality "København" and --job-type fuldtid
• Student jobs in Aarhus: search with --municipality "Aarhus" and --job-type studiejob
• Electrician jobs, full-time or part-time: search with --text "elektriker", --category 227973 and --job-type "fuldtid,deltid"
• Jobs in zip code 8000: search with --zip 8000

Safety notes: scripts and network access

This skill runs scripts and uses the network. It needs network access to the Jobdanmark.dk public API. Its allowed tool is limited to running bun run on the jobdanmark-search cli.ts file. The source does not describe any write actions.

The skill only reads listings. It does not submit applications on your behalf, does not check employer legitimacy, and does not verify salary figures. The data is passed through from the portal as-is. Errors are written to stderr as JSON with exit code 1, which helps when something fails.

• Requires Bun and network access to jobdanmark.dk
• Runs scripts (bun run on the bundled CLI) and uses the network
• Read-only in purpose: it does not apply for jobs
• Verify employer and salary details yourself before acting on them

Tips for better results

Resolve the municipality or zip code with locations first, and resolve job titles with autocomplete when you want a specific role. Use table format for comparisons and json when you want to process the data. Pagination is fixed at 30 items per page, so ask for the next page instead of expecting more per request.

• Use --format table to compare, json to process, plain for one posting
• Try a Danish keyword as well as an English one, for example sygeplejerske or nurse
• Combine --text, --job-type and a location in one search
