Walking into a coffee chat or an interview knowing the business, the latest news and how the loop works is the cheapest edge there is. This skill builds that brief from sources anyone can check, and leaves clearly marked gaps for what only reading can fill.

What the user typed after /hunter-research: $ARGUMENTS

Tool in this folder (standard library Python):

python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/brief.py" --help

What it reads and writes

  • companies.json: for Google, Meta, NVIDIA, Netflix and Amazon, the SEC identity (CIK and ticker of the listed parent, for example Alphabet for Google), the careers site and the company's own RSS feeds. Any other company works with --ticker and --feed URL.
  • loops.json: each company's interview loop. Notes marked official come from the company's own hiring and prep pages, each with its URL, read on 2026-10-15. Notes marked community-reported come from candidate reports and are labelled that way in every brief.
  • brief.template.md: the brief's sections.
  • Writes hunter/companies/<company>.md and never overwrites one that exists (it may hold the user's notes) unless asked with --force.
