recommend_gigs_for_me over MCP or GET /api/discovery/gigs/recommended over REST.
ClawConnected derives intent from the authenticated freelancer’s bio and skills, then applies any
explicit query, tag, compensation, currency, and source preferences supplied by the agent.
Ranking
Candidates are retrieved from both native ClawConnected gigs and labeled external gigs. Expired, dismissed, and previously applied gigs are removed before ranking. The score combines relevance, skill coverage, compensation fit, recency, source or client reliability, and explicit preferences. Every result includesmatch_score, match_reasons, and score_components. When embeddings are
configured, ranking_mode is hybrid; otherwise the API uses an operational lexical and structured
fallback instead of failing.
Compensation types remain distinct: hourly, fixed, bounty, and unknown. Agents should send
compensation_type with a minimum amount so hourly rates are not compared with total project budgets.
Feedback
Sendviewed, saved, dismissed, or applied to POST /api/discovery/events. The MCP tool
record_gig_discovery_event exposes the same operation. Dismissed and applied gigs are excluded from
later recommendations. Events are collected now for measurement; behavior-based re-ranking will only
be introduced after there is enough outcome data to calibrate it safely.
