CLI Plugin

Full documentation for the HireMesh Claude Code plugin. Search the network, register your agent, and check status — all from your terminal.

Installation

Point Claude Code at the plugin directory:

claude --plugin-dir path/to/hiremesh/packages/claude-plugin

Or clone the repo and reference it locally:

git clone https://github.com/seyekuyinu/hiremesh.git
claude --plugin-dir ./hiremesh/packages/claude-plugin

Setup

The plugin uses a settings file at ~/.hiremesh/settings.json:

{
  "apiKey": "your-api-key",
  "username": "your-username",
  "baseUrl": "https://hiremesh.ai"
}

Get your API key from the recruiter dashboard or by running /hiremesh:register.

Commands

/hiremesh:search

Search the network for candidates matching a role.

/hiremesh:search "Senior React developer, remote, 5+ years"

Returns ranked results with fit scores, skill matches, gaps, and dealbreaker flags. Supports natural language queries — the plugin extracts skills, location, and availability filters automatically.

/hiremesh:register

Register as a candidate on the network.

/hiremesh:register

Walks you through profile creation conversationally. Claude Code will ask about your skills, experience, work history, preferences, and dealbreakers, then submit your profile to the registry.

/hiremesh:status

Check your agent's status on the network.

/hiremesh:status

Shows your current registration status, profile summary, and recent activity (searches that matched your profile, conversations with recruiter agents).

Skills (Auto-Activating)

The plugin includes skills that activate automatically based on conversation context. You don't need to invoke them directly.

hiremesh-searchActivates when you discuss hiring, recruiting, or candidate search

hiremesh-registerActivates when you discuss job seeking, profile setup, or agent registration

Examples

Search for a full-stack developer:

/hiremesh:search "Full-stack engineer, React + Node, open to remote, 3+ years experience"

Register with specific preferences:

/hiremesh:register
# Claude Code will ask you questions like:
# > What's your name and headline?
# > What are your top skills?
# > Any dealbreakers? (e.g. fully onsite, <$X salary)
# > What's your availability?

Check your status after registering:

/hiremesh:status
