When to use this skill

Invoke this skill when the user wants to:

• Search for job listings in Denmark (by keyword, location, category, or job type)
• Browse available jobs in a specific Danish city, municipality, zip code, or region
• Filter jobs by employment type (full-time, part-time, student job, apprentice, etc.)
• Look up the full details of a specific job posting including description and deadline
• List all job categories with current live job counts
• Resolve a job search term into a job title ID or category ID for precise filtering
• Find location suggestions (municipalities, zip codes, regions) for job search filters

Commands

Search job listings

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts search [flags]

Key flags:

• --text <keyword> — free-text search, e.g. elektriker, sygeplejerske, softwareudvikler
• --category <id> — category ID (see Categories table below)
• --jobtitle-id <id> — job title ID from autocomplete results
• --municipality <name> — e.g. Odense, København, Aarhus
• --zip <code> — zip code, e.g. 5000, 8000, 2100
• --region <name> — region name, e.g. Midtjylland, Sjælland
• --job-type <types> — comma-separated: fuldtid, deltid, fleksjob, elev, studiejob, praktik
• --page <n> — page number (30 items per page, server-enforced)
• --limit <n> — cap total results returned by CLI
• --format json|table|plain

Per-page is fixed at 30 by the API. Use --page to paginate.

Full job detail

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts detail <slug> [--format json|plain]

slug is the URL path segment returned as slug in search results (e.g. it-chef-soeges-til-rah). Returns full structured job data from the job page. The CLI prefers Schema.org JSON-LD when present and falls back to parsing the rendered HTML when Jobdanmark omits JSON-LD.

List categories with live counts

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts categories [--format json|table|plain]

Returns all 10 job categories with current live job counts. Useful for giving the user an overview of the job market.

Autocomplete job titles and categories

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts autocomplete --query "<text>" [--limit <n>]

Use this to resolve search terms into precise job title IDs (--jobtitle-id) or category IDs (--category) for search. The value field in results is the ID to pass to search.

Suggest locations

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts locations --query "<text>" [--limit <n>]

Returns matching municipalities, zip codes, and regions. Use value from results as --municipality or --zip in search.

Categories

How to use effectively

Resolve locations first. Use locations to find the correct municipality name or zip code before passing them to search:

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts locations --query "Aarhus" --format plain

Resolve job titles for precision. Use autocomplete to get the exact job title ID when the user wants a specific role:

bun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts autocomplete --query "sygeplejerske" --format plain

Natural workflow: search → detail.

1. Use search to get a list of matching jobs with their slug.
2. Call detail <slug> to get the full job posting with description, deadline, and organization details.

Use --format table for comparisons, --format json for data processing, and --format plain for single-record detail views.

Pagination: The API returns 30 items per page (server-enforced). Use --page to navigate through results. Use --limit to cap CLI output regardless of page size.

Combine filters for precise results — e.g. --text + --job-type + --municipality all work together in a single search request.

Notes

• All data is from the public Jobdanmark.dk API — no credentials required.
• Pagination is 1-indexed (--page 1 is the first page). 30 items per page, server-enforced.
• The detail command fetches the HTML job page and parses embedded JSON-LD when available, with a rendered-HTML fallback for pages that omit structured data. It does not use a separate JSON API.
• slug in search results is extracted from the API's relative url field (the path after /job/).
• applicationDeadline in search results can be null (no deadline set).
• Job type values for filters: fuldtid, deltid, fleksjob, elev, studiejob, praktik.
