What It Does
The skill intelligently adapts to your available tools — using MCP legal data tools when present, and falling back to web search automatically when they are not.
Legal Job Search is an AI skill designed for lawyers and in-house legal counsel navigating the job market. It automates the most time-consuming parts of legal job hunting: deep-researching target companies or law firms, running legal risk checks, generating polished HTML resumes, and producing structured interview preparation memos.
Key Features
- Intelligent Tool Fallback (MCP → Web Search) — Each capability independently checks for available MCP legal data tools by matching tool names, descriptions, and parameters. If a specific MCP tool is unavailable, that function degrades gracefully to multi-round web search — without blocking the rest of the workflow.
- Legal Risk Analysis — Checks five categories of enterprise legal risk: enforcement records, breach-of-trust (失信) listings, high-consumption restrictions, closed/final cases, and court judgments. Each category is queried independently via MCP tools or fallback web search templates, and results are compiled into a structured risk report with a severity matrix.
- Company & Law Firm Deep Research — Supports deep research via Metaso AI Search or Perplexity Pro for comprehensive company profiling, and degrades to sequential web searches when those tools are unavailable. Law firm research follows a dedicated framework that distinguishes public information (website, rankings) from private-domain intelligence the user supplies.
- Targeted HTML Resume Generation — Generates a fully styled HTML resume aligned to the target job description's keywords. Choose from three preset themes (Business Elite, Modern Tech, Minimal Clean) or define a custom color scheme and layout. Existing Word or PDF resumes can be ingested and restructured automatically.
- Interview Memo as a Word Document — Produces a professionally formatted `.docx` memo covering company/firm highlights, business-legal interface map, risk and challenge analysis, the role's value proposition, and suggested interview talking points. The document includes a cover page, table of contents, and styled tables with a gold-and-navy color scheme.
- Resume Adjustment Strategy — Before generating the final resume, the skill produces an explicit adjustment plan: keyword mapping from the JD, experience reordering and expansion recommendations, and skill re-ranking by relevance — so you can review the rationale before committing to changes.
Requirements
Supports: Metaso AI Search (深度研究 mode), Perplexity Pro. Falls back to web search if unavailable. - **`docx` skill** *(optional)* — Required for generating the interview memo as a formatted Word document. - **`mineru-ocr` skill** *(optional)* — Required if the user's existing resume is in PDF format and needs content extraction.
- **MCP Legal Data Tools** *(optional, recommended)* — Enables precise enterprise legal risk queries. Matched by function: tools covering `executed`, `dishonest`, `consumption restriction`, `final cases`, and `judgment` lookups (e.g. `get_executed_entity`, `get_dishonest_entity`, `get_consumption_restrictions`, `get_final_cases`, `get_judgments`). - **Deep Research Tool** *(optional, recommended)* — Enables comprehensive company profiling.
Use Cases
- Applying to an in-house legal role from scratch — Paste the job description for a corporate legal position. The skill extracts requirements, researches the company's business model and legal risk profile, collects your background information, and delivers a targeted HTML resume and a Word interview memo — ready before your first call.
- Adapting an existing resume for a law firm position — Upload your current resume (HTML, Word, or PDF). The skill ingests it, applies the law firm research framework, identifies gaps against the team's practice area, and outputs a revised resume and firm-specific interview memo without requiring you to start over.
- Quick legal risk check before an interview — Provide only the company name. The skill immediately runs all five risk categories — enforcement, dishonest entity, consumption restrictions, closed cases, and court judgments — and outputs a concise risk report with source citations, so you walk in informed.
- Multi-application job search campaign — For candidates pursuing several roles simultaneously, the skill maintains a consistent base resume and generates separate targeted versions and memos for each employer, keeping keyword alignment and style consistent across the campaign.
