See which companies are hiring for the work you sell.
Jobs watch is a Claude routine that reads public job postings for commerce and automation roles, links each role to its company, and puts only the few that need a person in your Inbox. Each record can be checked against the posting it came from, which is what makes the AI lead generation usable.
AI lead generation from public job postings
Twice a week it searches each market for postings whose title matches a keyword of yours. It records every role and company it read, and writes a run record with what it claimed, what it parsed and what it dropped.
Roles outside your settings are not thrown away. They are kept and marked dropped with a reason, so you can see what your settings cut. Only the few roles that need a person today reach your Inbox.
What it never does
- Never sends, posts, pushes or deletes anything on its own. The first run is report-only.
- Never infers a salary, company size or market it did not see on the page.
- Never sends an intro note. It can draft one and wait for your approval. The approval expires after 48 hours, and nothing is sent from this routine.
- Never writes your settings. If a change looks right, it proposes one and you accept or reject it.
- Never follows instructions it finds inside a job page. Page text is treated as data.
What you get
The template comes with a Desk, one page where you see what the routine found, decide, and tune settings. It has two record types, Company and Role, and three views.
| View | Shows | Columns |
|---|---|---|
| New roles | Active roles, newest first seen at the top | Title, company, market, posted |
| Dropped by settings | Roles your settings cut, with the reason | Title, company, market, drop reason |
| Hiring companies | Companies, most often seen first | Name, industry, country, size |
The Inbox carries a match for a strong fit, an alert for a change at a company you starred, and a proposal when the routine suggests a setting change. Learning is on: it reads your keep, drop and reject decisions on the Desk. See how a routine learns.
Keyword and market settings
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Markets | AU, US, CA, NZ, PH | Each market adds at least one job board search per run. |
| Title keywords | Shopify, headless, commerce, AI automation | Each keyword adds a search per market. |
| Excluded companies | none | Roles from these domains are kept but marked dropped. |
| Excluded title words | none | Roles with one of these words in the title are kept but marked dropped. Learning suggests words you keep dropping. |
| Lookback days | 7 (1 to 30) | A longer window means more postings to compare. |
| Inbox messages per run | 5 (0 to 20) | Extra messages are counted, not sent. |
Stages and search connectors
| Stage | Kind | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Search postings | model | Searches each market for postings inside the lookback window whose title matches a keyword, and opens the ones it reports. |
| Record roles and companies | model | Records each role linked to its company and drafts the Inbox messages, inside your per-run limit. |
| Learn | code | Turns feedback on earlier runs into learning and proposals before the write. |
| Write | code | Applies the run under the write contract. |
| Approve an intro note | gate | You approve or decline by email. The gate times out after 48 hours. |
| Connector | Needed | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Web search | Required | Find job postings by market and title keyword. If your Claude run already has web search, there is nothing to add. Check before the first run. |
| Web fetch | Required | Open each job page it reports. |
| Optional | Carry the approval email for an intro-note gate. Add it before you turn gated messages on. |
Install jobs watch
- Install the pluginIn Claude Code 2.1.275 or later. The command line tool needs Python 3.11 or later.
/plugin install routineos --marketplace devkindhq/routineos - Install the packFrom a clone of the repository root. It writes a routine folder, prints what you must connect, runs nothing and connects nothing.
python3 skills/routineos/scripts/routineos.py pack install catalog/jobs-watch.json --dir my-jobs-watch - Connect, publish, run onceCheck the run has web search and web fetch, publish the Desk, and let the first run go. Nothing leaves the routine on the first run.
The first routine guide walks this template to a first run, and Install a pack lists every refusal the installer can give.
Known risks and limits
- Scheduling is a research preview and may change. See honest limits.
- The routine reads only what a search and a page open can reach. If a market fails to load, the run is marked partial and says so.
- It reports what is on the page. If a page does not state a salary or a team size, the field stays empty.
- Roles outside your settings are hidden from New roles but kept in Dropped by settings. Check that view when you change a keyword.
- Other mail or chat apps may work for the approval email. Whether each offers the access needed is unverified.
