Portfolio Project Suggestions

Suggest open-source portfolio projects that align with Upwork market demand.

How this plugin works

This plugin provides MCP tools (prefixed mcp__upwork-scraper__* or called as tool_* below) that control a Camoufox browser for scraping Upwork. The plugin works from any directory.

If MCP tools are NOT available (you don't see mcp__upwork-scraper__* in your tools): the MCP server failed to start, likely because dependencies aren't installed. Tell the user:

The plugin's MCP server is not connected. Run /upwork-scraper:setup to install dependencies, then restart Claude Code.

Do NOT try workarounds (Chrome extension, curl, direct DB access). Only the MCP tools work.

Steps

1. Get market data: Call tool_analyze_market_requirements to understand current demand.

2. Generate suggestions: Call tool_suggest_portfolio_projects(your_skills="$ARGUMENTS", target_experience_level="intermediate", top_n=5).

3. For each project, present:

   Project Name

   • What to build: Clear description of the project
   • Why it works: How it maps to real job postings
   • Tech stack: Specific technologies to use
   • Skills demonstrated: What clients will see
   • Matching jobs: How many current jobs this prepares for
   • Complexity: Weekend / Week / Month estimate
   • GitHub repo: Suggested name and structure

4. Prioritize projects that:

   • Demonstrate skills for the MOST jobs
   • Are visually impressive (deployable demos)
   • Show real-world problem-solving, not toy examples
   • Can be completed in reasonable time

5. Deployment advice: For each project, suggest:

   • Where to deploy a live demo (Vercel, Railway, etc.)
   • How to structure the README for maximum impact
   • What screenshots/GIFs to include
