Amazon Jobs — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the amazon-jobs-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   bashCopy code
   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install amazon-jobs --cli-only
   

2. Verify: amazon-jobs-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.5 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

bashCopy code
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/amazon-jobs/cmd/amazon-jobs-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

amazon-jobs turns Amazon's careers site from a page you refresh into a queryable, watchable dataset. It uses the same unauthenticated JSON the site does, so there is no API key and no scraping fragility. Beyond search and filters, it keeps a local SQLite mirror that powers new (reqs unseen since your last check), stats (counts by city/team/category the empty server facets can't give), and skills (which teams demand a given qualification).

When to Use This CLI

Use amazon-jobs when a task involves finding, filtering, tracking, or analyzing open roles at Amazon or AWS: keyword and location search, watching for newly-posted reqs over time, or aggregating the open-req landscape by city, team, or demanded skill. It is ideal for agents doing recurring labor-market research because output is deterministic JSON and the local store answers questions a single API call cannot.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

• Do not use this CLI for job boards other than Amazon.jobs — it only queries Amazon's careers API.
• Do not use it to submit an application; it is read-only and has no apply/authenticated workflow.
• Do not use it for general AWS service management — it is unrelated to the AWS SDK or AWS APIs.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Local state that compounds

• new — See only the Amazon reqs that appeared since you last synced a saved search — no more re-scanning the whole list every morning.

  Reach for this when a user tracks a role over time and wants the delta, not the full list.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli new sde-seattle --agent
  

• save — Persist a named query plus its filters and diff cursor so a search and its new-since state survive between runs.

  Use this to set up a repeatable watch that new and sync then operate on by name.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli save sde-seattle "software engineer" --city Seattle --country USA
  

Aggregation the API can't do

• stats — Count synced reqs grouped by city, state, team, or category — the aggregation Amazon's own empty facets[] never returns.

  Use this to answer 'which cities/teams have the most open reqs' without paging every result.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli stats --by city --agent
  

• skills — Rank teams and cities by how many synced reqs demand a given skill keyword in their basic/preferred qualifications.

  Reach for this for labor-market questions like 'who is hiring for X skill' rather than retrieving individual reqs.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli skills Rust --agent
  

Honest client-side filtering

• find — Filter live results by intern, manager, university, and schedule type — fields the .json endpoint silently ignores as server params.

  Use these flags when a user wants senior-IC, non-intern, or schedule-specific roles that Amazon can't filter server-side.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "software engineer" --manager=false --intern=false --agent
  

True recency: use posted_date, never updated_time

• find --posted-within — Filter on the real posting date. Accepts 24h, 3d, 7d, 2w.

  This is a correctness trap, not a convenience flag. updated_time is a relative string ("about 21 hours") that tracks the last edit or re-index — not the posting. Measured on 1000 live reqs: 514 were posted more than 14 days ago, and all 514 reported updated_time under 48 hours; the worst case was posted August 2025 and read "about 21 hours". If a user asks for "jobs posted recently" or wants to "apply as fast as possible", filter with --posted-within and report posted_date. Never present updated_time as recency.

  Rows where the two disagree badly (posted >14 days ago, updated <48h) are marked (edited) in human output and carry "updated_diverged": true in JSON — surface that caveat to the user rather than dropping it.

  posted_date is day-granular; the API has no sub-day posting timestamp. --posted-within 7d therefore means "posted on or after (today − 7 days)", inclusive by whole date. Do not promise the user hour-level precision on posting time — it does not exist upstream.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "program manager" --country GBR --posted-within 7d --agent
  

• find --description-contains / --description-not-contains — Case-insensitive regex over description + basic_qualifications + preferred_qualifications, HTML stripped before matching.

  Reach for this whenever the user's constraint is buried in prose rather than exposed as a facet: visa/sponsorship eligibility, relocation support (check both directions — "Relocation assistance is NOT provided" and "Relocation benefits are offered" both exist), or language requirements (Mandarin, Japanese N1) that silently disqualify.

  Invalid regex falls back to a literal match, so C++ works as typed. These matches are rare (sponsorship language appears in roughly 16 of 1000 reqs, relocation language in about 2), so raise --max-scan-pages when nothing comes back — the "no matching jobs" note tells you how many were scanned.

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "" --country SGP --description-not-contains "without sponsorship" --max-scan-pages 10 --agent
  

Command Reference

postings — Search Amazon job listings

• amazon-jobs-pp-cli postings — Search Amazon job listings by keyword, location, and sort order

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Track new SDE roles in Seattle each morning

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli save sde-seattle "software engineer" --city Seattle --country USA && amazon-jobs-pp-cli new sde-seattle --agent

Persist a named search once, then run new to see only reqs that appeared since your last sync.

Agent-native search narrowed to key fields

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "solutions architect" --country USA --agent --select title,location,posted_date,job_path

Amazon reqs carry huge description/qualification text; --select trims the payload to the fields an agent needs.

Where is AWS hiring most right now?

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli sync aws --max-pages 10 && amazon-jobs-pp-cli stats --by city

Mirror AWS reqs locally, then aggregate by city — counts the empty server facets never return.

Which teams demand a specific skill

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli sync engineer --max-pages 10 && amazon-jobs-pp-cli skills Rust --agent

Scan synced qualification text for a keyword and rank teams/cities by demand.

Senior IC roles only (no manager, no intern)

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "software engineer" --country USA --manager=false --intern=false

Client-side NULL-safe filters for fields Amazon can't filter server-side.

Only reqs actually posted this week

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "program manager" --country GBR --posted-within 7d --max-scan-pages 10 --agent

Filters on the true posted_date. Any row carrying "updated_diverged": true was posted long ago and merely re-indexed — do not describe it to the user as newly posted.

Screen out roles that won't sponsor a visa

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "" --country SGP --description-not-contains "without sponsorship" --posted-within 2w --max-scan-pages 10 --agent

Sponsorship, relocation, and language constraints exist only in description prose. Combine the text filter with a recency window to build a shortlist worth applying to.

Sweep several countries for fresh reqs

bashCopy code
for c in GBR IRL LUX JPN SGP SAU ARE; do
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli find "" --country "$c" --posted-within 7d --max-scan-pages 10 --agent
done

The API takes one country per request, so multi-market searches fan out client-side. Pair with save/new when the sweep should run repeatedly and only report reqs unseen since last time.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run amazon-jobs-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

• Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

• Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

  bashCopy code
  amazon-jobs-pp-cli postings --agent --select id,name,status
  

• Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

• Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

jsonCopy code
{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.

Paths and state

Agents should treat the CLI's path resolver as part of the runtime contract:

• Use --home <dir> for one invocation, or set AMAZON_JOBS_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

• Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: AMAZON_JOBS_CONFIG_DIR, AMAZON_JOBS_DATA_DIR, AMAZON_JOBS_STATE_DIR, AMAZON_JOBS_CACHE_DIR.

• Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, AMAZON_JOBS_HOME, XDG (XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_STATE_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME), then platform defaults.

• config contains settings like config.toml and profiles. data contains credentials.toml, data.db, cookies, and auth sidecars. state contains persisted queries, jobs, and teach.log. cache contains regenerable HTTP/cache files.

• Stored secrets live in credentials.toml under the data dir. Existing legacy config.toml secrets are read for compatibility and leave config.toml on the first auth write.

• Run amazon-jobs-pp-cli doctor --fail-on warn to surface path and credential-location warnings. agent-context exposes a schema v4 paths block for agents that need the resolved dirs.

• For MCP, pass relocation through the MCP host config. The MCP binary does not inherit CLI flags:

  jsonCopy code
  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "amazon-jobs": {
        "command": "amazon-jobs-pp-mcp",
        "env": {
          "AMAZON_JOBS_HOME": "/srv/amazon-jobs"
        }
      }
    }
  }
  

Override the API host with AMAZON_JOBS_BASE_URL (or the base_url key in config.toml) when the default https://www.amazon.jobs is not reachable from this machine. If doctor reports cannot resolve host, the fault is the local resolver, not the API or your arguments: some routers and split-DNS/VPN setups refuse the amazon.jobs zone. Do not retry the command or rewrite the query — unresolvable hosts fail fast by design and will keep failing. Confirm with host amazon.jobs versus host amazon.jobs 1.1.1.1, then switch resolver, drop the VPN, or set AMAZON_JOBS_BASE_URL. Use --dry-run on find to print the exact URL and client-side filters the command would use without sending the request.

Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit --home for that kind. Use AMAZON_JOBS_HOME or per-kind vars as durable fleet levers, and use --home only for a single invocation. Relocation is not reversible by unsetting env vars; move files manually before clearing AMAZON_JOBS_HOME, or doctor will not find credentials left under the former root.

Automatic learning

This CLI ships a self-capturing learning loop. The CLI does its own bookkeeping: every invocation is journaled locally, a failed flag followed by a corrected retry auto-derives a flag_alias candidate, and a teach on a query family without a playbook auto-synthesizes a playbook_candidate from the session's journal. Your job is judgment only: recall first, act on surfaced candidates, teach the final answer, playbook amend when you observe a correction. You never record failures by hand.

Step 1: recall before any discovery

Before list/search/drill commands on a new user question, run:

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli recall "<user's question>" --agent

The response envelope:

jsonCopy code
{
  "query": "...",
  "normalized": "<normalized form>",
  "query_entities": ["..."],
  "found": true | false,
  "match_score": 0.0,
  "results": [
    { "resource_id": "...", "resource_type": "...", "venue": "...",
      "confidence": 2, "entity_match": "exact|partial|unknown",
      "source": "taught|preseed|pattern", "warnings": ["..."] }
  ],
  "mismatches": [ /* only when --debug-mismatches */ ],
  "warnings": [ /* top-level */ ],
  "candidates": [
    { "id": 12, "class": "flag_alias | playbook_candidate",
      "summary": "...", "sightings": 3, "last_seen": "...",
      "rationale": "...",
      "next_action": ["<trial command>", "amazon-jobs-pp-cli learnings confirm 12"] }
  ],
  "playbook": {
    "query_family": "...",
    "playbook": {
      "steps": [ { "cmd": "<command with {slot} substitution>", "purpose": "..." } ],
      "entity_slots": ["$ENTITY"],
      "expected_tool_calls": 3
    },
    "slots_resolved": { "$ENTITY": { "token": "<live token>", "canonical": "<canonical>" } },
    "notes": "<workarounds + gotchas for this query family>"
  },
  "notes": "<duplicate surface for non-playbook callers>"
}

Empty-store short-circuit: if the store has no learnings, playbooks, or candidates yet (recall finds nothing and learnings list and learnings candidates are both empty), skip recall for the rest of this session instead of taxing every query; resume recall-first once something has been taught.

Step 2: decision tree

Read candidates, playbook, notes, results[0], and warnings in that order:

Copy code
if Candidates present (warnings include "candidates_present"):
    -> candidates are try-then-confirm, never facts. Follow each candidate's
       two-step next_action verbatim: run the trial command first, then run
       `learnings confirm <id>` only after the trial verified the behavior.
       Reject a wrong candidate with `learnings reject <id>`.
    -> NEVER re-teach something recall surfaced as a candidate; confirm or
       reject that candidate instead of teaching a duplicate.
    -> candidates ride alongside playbooks and resource hits, not instead of
       them; continue with the branches below after acting on them.

if Playbook present:
    -> READ Playbook.notes verbatim FIRST (workarounds + gotchas the CLI surface doesn't expose)
    -> replay Playbook.steps in order, substituting Playbook.slots_resolved entries
       for the entity slot tokens. If a step's slot is unresolved, fall back to
       discovery for that step only.
    -> the Playbook's expected_tool_calls is a budget; if you find yourself running
       materially more, record the divergence via `amazon-jobs-pp-cli playbook amend`
       at end-of-session.

elif Notes present (no Playbook):
    -> read Notes verbatim before any discovery step; they carry known gotchas
       for this query family even when no structured choreography exists yet.

elif Found AND Results[0].EntityMatch == "exact" AND Results[0].Confidence >= 2:
    -> skip discovery; fetch live data for Results[*].ResourceID in parallel

elif Found AND Results[0].EntityMatch == "partial":
    -> candidate hint, NOT a hit; read the resource title to validate before trusting

elif (any row in Mismatches[] when --debug-mismatches was passed):
    -> treat as cold start; the stored learning is for a different entity
       (different canonical resolved from query_entities)

else:  // Found == false, no playbook, no notes
    -> cold start; run discovery normally; teach the answer afterward (Step 4).
       If the family has no playbook yet, that teach auto-synthesizes a
       playbook candidate from this session's journal - you do not need to
       record one by hand.

Playbook and Notes are orthogonal to the per-resource path. A recall response can carry both a Playbook AND a Results[] hit - use both: the Playbook tells you which choreography to run; the resource hits short-circuit specific steps. Default to skipping mismatches; pass --debug-mismatches only when investigating cold-start surprises.

Candidate judgment details: learnings confirm <id> prints the candidate's full payload before materializing it - check that the printed payload matches the behavior you verified. learnings reject <id> tombstones the derivation signature so the same candidate does not resurface. The envelope carries only the few candidates worth acting on now; amazon-jobs-pp-cli learnings candidates lists the full open set.

Graceful degradation: if learnings confirm is an unknown command, you are driving an older binary - ignore the candidates guidance and follow the rest of the protocol.

Step 3: always read warnings

• low_confidence: row exists at confidence<2. Treat as a hint, not a skip-discovery hit.
• resource_not_in_store: the local store doesn't have the resource the learning points at. The match validator couldn't classify entities — direct-fetch and re-evaluate.
• cross_alias_match (per-result): the row was taught under a different alias and matched the live query's canonical via entity_lookups (e.g., a "USA" teach satisfying a "United States" recall). Trust the resource_id.
• similar_shape_different_entity:<canonical> (top-level): a structurally matching row exists but its canonical entity differs from the live query's. Treated as cold start; the warning carries the conflicting canonical as a hint, but the row is NOT promoted into Results.
• ambiguous_alias (top-level): a single query entity resolved to multiple canonicals (e.g., "Cards" → Arizona Cardinals + St. Louis Cardinals). Surface the ambiguity from context before committing to a resource.
• candidates_present (top-level): the envelope carries a candidates section. Handle it via the candidates branch in Step 2 before anything else.
• Top-level no_learnings_for_query_family: the table had no rows above the Jaccard floor. Pure cold start.

Step 4: teach & after finalizing your response - always

Teaching is unconditional. After resolving a query the store could not answer, background-teach the final resource mapping - no call-count threshold, no judging whether it was "worth" learning. The teach is the anchor of the loop: it triggers playbook synthesis for a family without a playbook, and same-referent phrasings fold into one family so near-duplicate teaches do not fragment the store. Fire it after assembling your user-facing response but BEFORE emitting it, with a shell & so the call returns immediately:

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli teach --query "<user's question>" --resource-type <type> --resource <id1> --resource <id2>
# (append shell `&` to background it)

Silent on success. Errors only land in teach.log under the resolved state dir. Teach the most specific resource - if the user asked a broad question and you walked through parent records to find the specific answer, teach the leaf id, not the parent. The CLI uses seeded entity_lookups for cross-alias resolution at recall time, so a teach under one alias (e.g., "Niners") satisfies future queries under another alias (e.g., "49ers", "San Francisco") automatically.

PII rule: teach the structural question with identifiers stripped - never include names, emails, phone numbers, account ids, or other personal identifiers in taught queries or notes. The CLI scans teach queries for obvious email/phone shapes and warns, but does not block; strip before teaching rather than relying on the warning.

Step 5: playbooks - optional flags, automatic synthesis

You do not need to decide whether a session "deserves" a playbook: a teach on a family without one auto-synthesizes a playbook_candidate from the session's journal, and the next session judges it via confirm/reject. Attach explicit playbook flags only when you already hold choreography worth recording verbatim - workarounds the CLI didn't surface (silently-dropped flags, undocumented params, pagination tricks, payload gotchas). Prefer the integrated one-call form - record the resource learning and the playbook in the same teach invocation:

bashCopy code
# Common case: record both the resource learning AND the playbook in one call.
amazon-jobs-pp-cli teach \
  --query "<user's question>" \
  --resource <id> \
  --playbook-file ~/playbooks/<shape>.json \
  --playbook-notes-file ~/playbooks/<shape>-notes.md
# (append shell `&` to background it)

# Alternate: playbook-only (no resource to record alongside).
amazon-jobs-pp-cli teach-playbook \
  --query "<user's question>" \
  --playbook-file ~/playbooks/<shape>.json \
  --notes-file ~/playbooks/<shape>-notes.md

Playbook files are JSON with steps, entity_slots, expected_tool_calls. Notes files are markdown carrying the gotchas verbatim. File-free callers (MCP-only agents) pass the same content inline: --playbook-json and --playbook-notes on the integrated teach form, --playbook-json and --notes on teach-playbook. On the integrated teach form, the playbook flags are optional - omit them entirely for a resource-only teach. On the standalone teach-playbook form, at least one of the playbook and notes flags must be set; both empty is rejected. Playbooks are keyed on the structural query family (entities stripped) so a recipe taught from one entity-shaped query applies to every other query of the same shape, with slots_resolved binding the live query's canonical at recall time.

When you DO find a playbook on a future recall, treat it as ground truth: replay the steps with slots_resolved substitutions, skip the discovery that the choreography already documents, and read notes before any step.

Step 6: playbook amend & when your debug response identifies a correction

If your debug-protocol response identifies a concrete correction the notes or playbook should know — a workaround, an undocumented endpoint shape, a stale field name, observed schema drift, an empty-payload fallback — fire playbook amend BEFORE emitting your user-facing response. Same fire-and-forget posture as teach.

bashCopy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli playbook amend \
  --query "<exact recall query string>" \
  --add-note "<your concrete correction>"
# (append shell `&` to background it)

What counts as worth amending: a behavior you OBSERVED this session that future-you would benefit from knowing. Examples worth amending:

• A workaround for a CLI surface that silently drops or misorders a flag.
• An undocumented endpoint shape (response wrapped in {meta, results}, payload nested two levels deeper than the docs claim).
• Observed schema drift (a field renamed, an index that shifted between seasons, a category label that the API now returns lower-cased).

What does NOT belong in notes:

• The year-specific or entity-specific answer to the user's question. That's the response, not a learning.
• Per-team / per-athlete / per-row data the playbook already retrieves at runtime.
• Statements that paraphrase what the existing notes already say.

The amend command appends to the family's existing notes with a timestamped marker ([amend YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ]: <text>). Multiple amends accumulate; the audit trail is visible. If no playbook exists yet for the family, amend creates a notes-only one (so cold-start corrections still land).

PII discipline for amend notes

playbook amend notes are designed to potentially flow upstream as shared knowledge in future versions of the Printing Press. Keep them clean of user-identifying content so the upstream-contribution path stays open without retroactive scrubbing:

• Do NOT embed paths to user filesystems, personal API keys or tokens, user email addresses, user GitHub handles, or specific query histories tied to a single user.
• Acceptable: endpoint shapes, undocumented field names, API gotchas, observed schema drift, workarounds for CLI surfaces, generalizable pagination or retry tactics.

If a correction is only meaningful with user-specific context, it belongs in a personal note, not in the playbook amend.

Measuring the loop

amazon-jobs-pp-cli learnings stats reports recall hit rate, teach-to-reuse, playbook resolution rate, and candidate confirm/reject counts from the local learn_events table. Rates are null until they have a denominator; everything stays on this machine. Use it to check whether the loop is earning its keep for this CLI.

Disabling learning

• --no-learn on a single command short-circuits both recall and the teach write path. Use for deterministic agent flows or tests that must not be affected by accumulated learnings.
• AMAZON_JOBS_NO_LEARN=true in the environment globally disables the pipeline.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

Copy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
amazon-jobs-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
amazon-jobs-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally as feedback.jsonl under the resolved data dir. They are never POSTed unless AMAZON_JOBS_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or AMAZON_JOBS_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled or recurring agent reuses the same saved flags while providing different input each run.

Copy code
amazon-jobs-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
amazon-jobs-pp-cli --profile briefing postings
amazon-jobs-pp-cli profile list --json
amazon-jobs-pp-cli profile show briefing
amazon-jobs-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
