Using Freehire

Use when orienting in the `freehire` CLI as a whole — installing it, authenticating with an API key, working out which of its surfaces answers a job seeker's question, or troubleshooting a 401. The task skills do the work; this one is the map and the setup.

The freehire CLI

freehire is a single static binary over the freehire.me job API. It lets an agent search, filter, apply to and track IT jobs without a browser, authenticating with a personal API key. Every command supports --json for a raw, faithful API payload (pipe to jq).

Install and authenticate (once)

curl -fsSL https://freehire.me/install.sh | sh   # or: go install github.com/strelov1/freehire-cli/cmd/freehire@latest

freehire auth login --token fhk_xxxxxxxx   # validates the key and stores it (~/.freehire/creds.json)
freehire auth status                       # who am I / which API
freehire auth logout                       # removes the stored key

Create the key in the web app: freehire.me → account menu → API keys.

The key can also come from FREEHIRE_TOKEN (no stored file — good for sandboxes), which takes precedence over the stored one. --api-url overrides the base URL for one call. Errors go to stderr with a non-zero exit; a 401 means "run freehire auth login".

Which skill does what

The person wants to…	Skill
find jobs, read a posting, hand over a link freehire lacks	freehire-job-search
record and follow what they applied to; report a posting that never answered	freehire-track-applications
know how well their stack covers the live market, and what to learn	freehire-market-fit
reframe their CV toward one vacancy	freehire-tailor-cv
sort their application mail into the tracker	freehire-mail-triage

Three rules that hold everywhere

Prefer --json and parse with jq. Human output is for people.
Ground every filter value in freehire facets before using it. It is the vocabulary source of truth — facet values and canonical skill slugs (go, react, kubernetes, lowercase) both come from there. Do not invent values.
The API key is the user's whole account. Keep it in the harness's secret store or FREEHIRE_TOKEN, never in a repo or a log. It can be revoked from the web app.
