💡 What: Moved language_keywords, framework_keywords, cloud_keywords, database_keywords, and tool_keywords lists out of the LinkedInSync._categorize_skills method into module-level constants. Combined them using | to create an alternating regex pattern and pre-compiled them at the module level.
🎯 Why: To avoid repeatedly recompiling regex expressions (re.search) inside a list loop for every parsed skill, which caused a bottleneck for profiles with a large number of skills.
📊 Impact: Reduces execution time for _categorize_skills by approximately ~27x (from 2.87s to 0.10s per 100 iterations of 700 skills) without losing functionality.
🔬 Measurement: Execute python -m pytest tests/test_linkedin.py to ensure keyword categorization functions correctly.

Fixes a performance bottleneck in LinkedIn profile parsing.

Summary by Sourcery

Optimize LinkedIn skills categorization by moving keyword definitions and regex matching logic to module-level precompiled patterns.

Enhancements:

  • Extract LinkedIn skills keyword lists into module-level constants and replace per-skill regex construction with shared precompiled regex patterns for each category.

Documentation:

  • Document the performance lesson and best practice for using precompiled alternating regex patterns in skills categorization within .jules/bolt.md.

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors LinkedIn skills categorization to use shared, module-level keyword lists and pre-compiled regex patterns for each category, eliminating per-skill regex compilation and documenting the performance optimization in the Bolt learnings file.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Move LinkedIn skill keyword lists to module-level constants and pre-compile category regex patterns to avoid per-skill compilation.
  • Introduce module-level lists for language, framework, cloud, database, and tool skill keywords with escaped special characters where needed.
  • Create module-level compiled regex patterns for each keyword list using a single alternation-based pattern with word boundaries.
  • Update _categorize_skills to use typed categories dict and sequential checks against the pre-compiled patterns instead of looping over keyword lists with re.search inside the method.
cli/integrations/linkedin.py
Document the regex pre-compilation optimization for LinkedIn skills categorization in the Bolt knowledge file.
  • Add a dated learning entry describing the performance impact of switching to pre-compiled alternating regex patterns for skills categorization.
  • Record the recommended practice of extracting static keyword overlap checks into module-level alternating regexes in tight loops.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • When building the alternated regex patterns, consider using re.escape on each keyword instead of manually escaping entries like c\+\+ and next\.js so future additions with special characters remain correct without needing hand-escaped patterns.
  • The per-category if/elif chain in _categorize_skills now duplicates the category names encoded in the pattern constants; you could store (pattern, 'category_name') pairs in a single ordered iterable and loop over it to keep the categorization logic easier to extend and less repetitive.
