How to use the Danish Job Search (Jobnet) agent skill

What an agent skill is and what this one does

An agent skill is a folder of instructions and tools that an AI agent loads when a task matches the skill's description. This skill covers Danish job searching. Once it is installed, the agent can search Jobnet.dk by keyword, title or employer, and filter by region, work hours, employment duration and occupation.

It can also postal-code search within a radius, sort results and open the full ad. The full ad shows the description, contact persons, application deadline, employer details and a direct application link. The skill runs a small bundled command-line tool written in TypeScript that calls Jobnet's public API, so no login is needed.

Install the jobnet-search skill

Option 1: download the ZIP from this page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ to make it available to you across projects, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder to limit it to that project.

Option 2: in the Claude apps, open Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the ZIP there.

The skill ships disabled by default (enabled: false in SKILL.md). Either run /setup, which enables it when your market is Denmark, or set enabled: true in SKILL.md yourself. The CLI also needs its dependencies installed, which the skill's own README describes as running bun install inside the cli folder.

• Requires the Bun runtime, since the skill runs bun run on a TypeScript CLI.
• Requires network access to the Jobnet.dk public API.
• The project files must sit in .agents/skills/jobnet-search, including the cli folder with its dependencies.

Trigger the skill with natural requests

You do not need to type commands. Ask in plain language and the agent should pick the skill when your request is about Danish jobs. The skill's trigger list includes phrases such as danish jobs, jobnet.dk, job i danmark, stillinger i det offentlige, sygeplejerske job and ansøgningsfrist, so Danish and English requests both work.

Be specific about the things that matter to you: the job title or keyword, the area or postal code, full or part time, and whether you need permanent work. If you want an overview, say so and ask for a table.

• Find nurse jobs in Denmark that are permanent and full time.
• Show IT jobs within 30 km of postal code 8000 in Aarhus.
• Which Jobnet ads for pædagog close soonest?
• Get the full details and application link for this job ad.

Run searches directly and read the output

The agent runs the CLI for you, but you can also run it yourself from the project root. Searches are done with the search command. Use occupations or suggestions first if you are unsure of the exact Danish job title. Use detail with a jobAdId from the search results to get the full ad.

Regions are broad filters, such as Midtjylland or Syddanmark. For a location-based search, use a postal code with a radius, which defaults to 50 km. Do not combine --region and --postal-code in the same query. Order controls which ads come first: PublicationDate shows newest first, BestMatch ranks by relevance and ApplicationDate shows the earliest deadline first.

• --format table is good for comparisons.
• --format json is for data processing and passing IDs between commands.
• --format plain is for single-job detail views and strips HTML from the description.
• Errors are written to stderr as a JSON object with error and code fields, and the process exits with code 1.

Safety notes: scripts and network access

This skill runs scripts on your machine and uses the network. It executes a Bun/TypeScript CLI, and its allowed tool permission is limited to running bun run on that cli.ts file. It sends requests to the Jobnet.dk public API at jobnet.dk/bff and needs no credentials.

The skill does not verify job ads or employers. The tool returns what the API returns, so check important details, such as the employer and the deadline, on the official ad before you apply. If your environment does not allow local scripts, do not install this skill.

• No login or personal data is needed for searching.
• Use a separate project folder if you want to keep the skill out of other work.
• The skill only works for Denmark-specific listings.

Tips for better results

Start broad, then narrow. Use suggestions to find the Danish job title that employers actually use, because many ads are written in Danish. Then add filters one at a time so you can see which one removes results.

For urgent applications, sort by ApplicationDate so the earliest deadlines appear first. For a shortlist, ask the agent for a table with --per-page set to a small number and then request detail on the best matches.

• Use occupations to find ESCO identifiers; the numeric occupation-area and occupation-group codes are a different taxonomy and will not match an occupation UUID.
• Use --limit to cap CLI output, and --page with --per-page to go through large result sets.
• The skill description says the portal holds roughly 21,000 active jobs at any time; check current numbers on the site itself.
