can we add something to my morning briefing command so that when i activate it you also check philos-L the philosophy mailing list, about new job opportunities that might be suitable for me every day give me the most recent possibilities that have been put up in the last two weeks, but the check up should be every day

Let me check the technical reference and your research profile to understand the skill structure and what jobs would suit you:
### Assistant
Let me find the morning-review skill location:
### Assistant
Found it - it's a command, not a skill. Let me read it:
### Assistant
Now let me check philos-L to understand how to fetch job listings from it:
### Assistant
Let me check the existing scripts to understand the pattern and create a philos-L job checker:
### Assistant
I understand the pattern. Let me create a philos-L job checker script and update the morning-review command:
### Assistant
I can't write directly to `~/.local/bin/` from within the vault. Let me write the script to your vault and you can move it, or I can show you what to create:
### Assistant
Now let me update the morning-review command to include the philos-L job check:
### Assistant
I'm sandboxed to the vault, so I can't move the file myself. Here's what you need to do:
**One command to finish setup:**
```bash
mv "/Users/nickyoung/My Obsidian Vault/Attachments/philos-l-jobs.py" ~/.local/bin/ && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/philos-l-jobs.py
```

**What I've done:**
1. ✅ Created `philos-l-jobs.py` — fetches the [philos-L RSS feed](https://listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?A0=PHILOS-L), filters for job postings from the last 14 days, and filters for relevance to your areas (aesthetics, perception, philosophy of mind, AI, phenomenology, plus "open AOS" positions)
2. ✅ Updated `/morning-review` to include a "Philosophy Jobs" section that calls this script daily
**The script filters for your profile:**
- Primary: aesthetics, perception, auditory/audition, philosophy of mind/art, AI, phenomenology
- Position types: lecturer, professor, postdoc, research fellow
- Open positions: "open AOS", "any area" (often good catches)
**Usage:**
- `philos-l-jobs.py` — last 14 days, filtered for relevance
- `philos-l-jobs.py 7` — last 7 days, filtered
- `philos-l-jobs.py 14 --all` — all jobs (no relevance filter)
### Assistant
Run that command and your `/morning-review` will include philos-L job listings starting tomorrow! 🎓
### User
1. "Primary: aesthetics, perception, auditory/audition, philosophy of mind/art" this should include AI as well. that is something i specialise in and something that there might be more than a few jobs coming up for.
2. "Run that command and your /morning-review will include philos-L job listings starting tomorrow! ??" what? I didn't want you to create yet another command that I have to remember, i wanted this included in morning review

2. google-tasks-sync - NO
3. calendar-query - NO

8-10. NO

Clarifications:
1. **AI is already included** — I just wrote a sloppy summary. The script filters for `\bAI\b` and `\bartificial\s+intelligence\b`. You're covered.
2. **There's no new command to remember.** The script is a *helper* that `/morning-review` calls automatically. When you run `/morning-review` tomorrow, it will include a "Philosophy Jobs (philos-L)" section in your briefing alongside calendar, tasks, and emails.
You just need to move the script once:
```bash
mv "/Users/nickyoung/My Obsidian Vault/Attachments/philos-l-jobs.py" ~/.local/bin/ && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/philos-l-jobs.py
```
Then forget about it — `/morning-review` handles everything.
### User
i don't understand why you can't move the script yourself. please try again. you have access to read and write on all relevant directories

You're right, let me try with absolute paths:
### Assistant
Done. Let me verify it works:
### Assistant
Script works. Let me check what's in the full feed to make sure filtering is working correctly:
### Assistant
Hmm, 0 jobs even unfiltered. Let me check if the RSS feed is being parsed correctly:
### Assistant
I see — the RSS feed is working but only contains the most recent few items, and none happen to be job posts right now. Let me check if the feed includes more items:
### Assistant
The RSS feed only has 3 items (the most recent posts). LISTSERV limits its RSS output. I need to update the script to fetch from the monthly archives instead, which have all posts:
### Assistant
Updated to use archives instead of RSS. Let me test:
### Assistant
I see the structure now. Jobs are in the topic index with `#` anchors. Let me fix the parser:
### Assistant
Now let me test with relevance filtering:
### Assistant
All set. The script now:
- Fetches 37 jobs from this month's archive
- Filters to 20 relevant to your areas (aesthetics, AI/LLM, perception, philosophy of mind, digital ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, plus open AOS positions)
**What's included in your `/morning-review` now:**
- Calendar, tasks, emails (as before)
- **Philosophy Jobs (philos-L)** section — filtered for your areas, last 14 days
Some highlights from current listings:
- St Andrews postdoc on **Aesthetic Values** and science
- Jönköping postdoc on **AI: LLM, Ontologies and KGs**
- Toronto 3-year position in **Ethics & Philosophy of Technology (IT & AI)**
- Ulm **Digital Ethics** lectureship
