    My agents need three verbs to help me write code: plan, implement, verify. Planning happens locally with the model and my issue tracker. Implementing happens across a fleet of codi…

    This is at the bottom of section 8 > The Large Language Model MUST NOT have access to an agent's credentials or to credentials that may be needed to access tools and services. This…

    I'm Jake. I'm a product minded startup engineer. I'd love to explore how I can help your org ship faster and use data to drive product development. Location: Cary, MS Remote: Yes W…

    I am not a particularly good writer, so I started using llms to help me write. At first that was by having the llm convert my rough draft into something ready for editing. As I edi…

    MCP is a new protocol from anthropic to standardize sharing tools and context with LLMs. Before, the tool calling api from openai was standard but tool makers all built their own m…

    I was trying to find a way to thank xpe more privately but this is evidence I should just go ahead and do it. So, thank you too. Thanks xpe, I appreciate you jumping in here. I was…

    I ended up building the first couple of iterations of this tool just to stop entering the same information into Claude for every new conversation. By connecting an assistant to a j…

    My github has several repos that might help you get started if you're working in Typescript or Dart. This one for example should get you spun up with the whole stack pretty quickly…

    > the `candidate-info://website-text` has a bit of marketing puffery like we don't usually see on resumes. I'm wondering whether that's intended to influence the AI tool behavior. …

    That's what I mean but I wouldn't represent it as being me the human speaking. We can just upgrade from text to text to speech to speech (or any mixture) while still using the LLM.…

    I think if you write the first blog post about this you get to name the law.

    Sort of ironic given I wrote an interface to a robot, but I hate that robots are going to destroy this space, or rather, never give it space to exist. I think even if no hiring man…

    It's still a little rough around the edges but here is a repo I made to make it easier to get started with your own version. https://github.com/jhgaylor/example-candidate-mcp-serve…

    Here is a repo that should make it pretty straightforward to get started if you are familiar with express. It is the code behind my mcp server but ready to tweak for you. https://g…

    The standard PDF resume is optimized for the human to read. The information density there is pretty low. Take a look at https://ai.jakegaylor.com/llms.txt and compare that to https…

    My intention with that example was for them to explore my public work but with MCP I can hide my github PAT away on my server and let their assistant explore my private work. I wil…

    Comment #43892006

    I think the llms.txt is probably 80% of the value for 20% of the effort. I made it because MCP still isn't super approachable. However, with MCP I can offer more value. I can let y…

    Claude Desktop just added support for remote servers this week. They've got it locked behind a pretty big paywall for now but I'm sure it'll make it's way to the standard plan. Oth…

    Hey Thomas - I hadn't seen your new server yet. I did migrate over to json resume as a part of building all this out. It works really well with LLMs. Iterating on it was a breeze c…

    I think I feel ya on some level but I also think that when the process is refined it will be much less exhausting to update our resumes with the help of an LLM. Underneath this too…

    If LLMs are going to get used to filter candidates out of jobs (they will, lets be real) then it is going to happen regardless of if a candidate makes a tool that explicitly provid…

    Discovery for MCP is still an unsettled question. An adjacent protocol, A2A, has proposed using /.well-known for discovery. At the rate things are moving this won't be a problem fo…
