description: Get a live job market snapshot for any role and tech stack by deploying parallel TinyFish agents across LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. Use when a developer wants real salary data, in-demand skills, top hiring companies, and remote ratios from actual job postings published this week — not survey averages or historical data. Triggers on phrases like "what is the market paying for", "salary range for", "is my salary competitive", "what should I ask for", "what skills do I need for", "who is hiring for", "how in-demand is", "before I negotiate", "job market for", "what does a [role] make", or any request to research compensation or demand for a specific role and tech stack before a job search or negotiation.

Job Market Intel — Live Salary & Demand Data Before You Negotiate

You have access to the TinyFish CLI (`tinyfish`), a tool that runs browser automations from the terminal using natural language goals. This skill deploys agents across LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor in parallel, navigates login walls and search forms, and synthesizes live job listings into a single market snapshot.

Pre-flight Check (REQUIRED)

Before making any TinyFish call, always run BOTH checks:

**1. CLI installed?**

PowerShell:

Get-Command tinyfish; tinyfish --version

bash/zsh:

which tinyfish && tinyfish --version || echo "TINYFISH_CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"

If not installed, stop and tell the user: > Install the TinyFish CLI: `npm install -g @tiny-fish/cli`

**2. Authenticated?**

tinyfish auth status

If not authenticated, stop and tell the user:

> You need a TinyFish API key. Get one at: https://agent.tinyfish.ai/api-keys > > Then authenticate: > > **Option 1 — CLI login (interactive):** > ``` > tinyfish auth login > ``` > > **Option 2 — PowerShell (current session only):** > ```powershell > $env:TINYFISH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" > ``` > > **Option 3 — PowerShell (persist across sessions):** > ```powershell > [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TINYFISH_API_KEY", "your-api-key-here", "User") > ``` > Then close and reopen PowerShell for it to take effect. > > **Option 4 — bash/zsh (Mac/Linux):** > ```bash > export TINYFISH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" > ``` > > **Option 5 — Claude Code settings:** Add to `~/.claude/settings.local.json`: > ```json > { > "env": { > "TINYFISH_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" > } > } > ```

Do NOT proceed until both checks pass.

What This Skill Does

Given a job title and tech stack (e.g. *"Senior Backend Engineer, Go + Kubernetes"*), this skill:

1. Searches **LinkedIn Jobs** for matching postings, extracting salary ranges, seniority levels, and company names 2. Searches **Indeed** for the same role, pulling compensation data and required skills from job descriptions 3. Searches **Glassdoor** for salary data, company ratings, and remote/hybrid/onsite ratios

It then synthesizes all three sources into a structured market snapshot: what the role actually pays, which skills show up most, who is hiring, and whether remote is realistic.

Core Command

tinyfish agent run --url <url> "<goal>"

Flags

Step-by-Step Workflow

Inputs Required

Before running, collect from the user:

• **Job title** — e.g. `Senior Backend Engineer`, `ML Engineer`, `Staff iOS Developer`
• **Tech stack** — e.g. `Go Kubernetes`, `Python PyTorch`, `Swift SwiftUI`
• **Location** (optional) — e.g. `San Francisco`, `Remote`, `London`

Derive URL-encoded search strings from these inputs for each platform.

Step 1 — Search LinkedIn Jobs

tinyfish agent run --sync \
  --url "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?keywords=<title+stack>&location=<location>&f_TPR=r604800" \
  "Extract the top 10 job listings as JSON: [{\"title\": str, \"company\": str, \"location\": str, \"salary_range\": str, \"posted_date\": str, \"remote_type\": str, \"url\": str}]. If salary is not shown, set salary_range to null. The f_TPR=r604800 filter means postings from the last 7 days — note the recency in each result."

**Example for Senior Backend Engineer, Go + Kubernetes:**

tinyfish agent run --sync \
  --url "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?keywords=Senior+Backend+Engineer+Go+Kubernetes&location=Remote&f_TPR=r604800" \
  "Extract the top 10 job listings as JSON: [{\"title\": str, \"company\": str, \"location\": str, \"salary_range\": str, \"posted_date\": str, \"remote_type\": str, \"url\": str}]. Set salary_range to null if not listed."

Step 2 — Search Indeed

tinyfish agent run --sync \
  --url "https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=<title+stack>&l=<location>&fromage=7&sort=date" \
  "Extract the top 10 job listings as JSON: [{\"title\": str, \"company\": str, \"location\": str, \"salary_range\": str, \"required_skills\": [str], \"posted_date\": str, \"remote_type\": str, \"url\": str}]. Pull required_skills from the snippet or description preview shown in results. Set salary_range to null if not listed."

**Example:**

tinyfish agent run --sync \
  --url "https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=Senior+Backend+Engineer+Go+Kubernetes&l=Remote&fromage=7&sort=date" \
  "Extract the top 10 job listings as JSON: [{\"title\": str, \"company\": str, \"location\": str, \"salary_range\": str, \"required_skills\": [str], \"posted_date\": str, \"remote_type\": str, \"url\": str}]. Pull required_skills from visible description snippets."

Step 3 — Search Glassdoor

tinyfish agent run --sync \
  --url "https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/jobs.htm?sc.keyword=<title+stack>&locT=N&locId=1&jobType=all&fromAge=7" \
  "Extract the top 10 job listings as JSON: [{\"title\": str, \"company\": str, \"company_rating\": str, \
