Scrape daily job listings from YCombinator's Workatastartup platform without duplicates. Use this skill when asked to scrape YC jobs, update the YC companies list, or retrieve the latest startup jobs. It handles authentication, extracts company slugs via Inertia.js JSON payloads, falls back to public YC job pages when necessary, and maintains a local SQLite database to track historical jobs and prevent duplicates.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'yc-jobs-scraper' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'yc-jobs-scraper' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named yc-jobs-scraper already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Varnan-Tech/opendirectory' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'caac7cda5621e289591e4e74b400e66ac72ad25b' -- 'skills/yc-intent-radar-skill/yc-jobs-scraper' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/yc-intent-radar-skill/yc-jobs-scraper' ~/.agents/skills/'yc-jobs-scraper' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'yc-jobs-scraper' ~/.claude/skills/'yc-jobs-scraper' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
