/portal-finder

Finds verified job portals for IT/tech roles in a specified country. Accepts the country as an optional argument: if omitted, Claude asks before doing anything. Researches portals online rather than relying on general knowledge, confirming each one actually exists and is active on its own site.

Usage

/claude-compass:portal-finder Germany
/claude-compass:portal-finder

If you provide a country argument, Claude uses it directly. If you omit it, Claude asks first and waits for your answer.

Before the step runs

Country

Claude checks whether a country was provided as an argument. If not, it asks and waits before proceeding.

Step 1: Portal research

Researches job portals for IT/tech roles in the target country online. Portals are organized by type into three mutually exclusive groups: general job boards, tech-specific boards, and professional & community networks. Government and official employment-service portals are deliberately excluded: they tend to be citizen/PR-oriented or geared toward expat/relocation information rather than reliable third-party job listings. Geographic scope (country-dedicated vs global) is noted per portal rather than used as a group. Within each group, the 2–3 portals to start with first are flagged. Anything noteworthy but outside the structure (deprecated portals, shared ownership, foreign-applicant restrictions) is flagged with ⚠️.

Stop conditions

Country not provided as argument. Claude asks and waits; it does not guess or default to a country.
Online research finds no portals matching a group. Claude omits that group rather than inventing entries.
