What it does
A set of twenty skills that give the agent methodology for resumes, applications and careers. They check a resume for compatibility with ATS systems and score the match against a vacancy, rewrite experience lines into achievements with numbers, tailor a resume to a specific posting without distorting facts, and prepare cover letters. There are separate skills for technical, executive, academic and creative roles, plus STAR-method interview prep, offer analysis and a salary negotiation strategy. Each skill is a SKILL.md file with activation triggers, step-by-step methodology and an output format, with no code and no network calls.
Who it is for. For people looking for a job or changing fields who want to prepare resumes, letters and applications through an agent.
Good fit when
- You need to check a resume for ATS pass-through and score the match to a vacancy
- You need to rewrite experience lines into achievements with measurable results
- You need to prepare a cover letter or an interview breakdown
Not a fit when
- You need a finished, laid-out resume file rather than text guidance and methodology
- The task is not about resumes and job search
Example request
Check my resume for ATS pass-through against this vacancy and tell me which keywords are missingLimitations
The skills provide methodology and text but do not produce a laid-out resume file by themselves. The material targets the English-language job market, ATS systems and formatting practices, so some advice needs adapting for the Russian market. ATS guidance and match percentages are guidelines, not a guarantee of a response. Estimates and numbers inside the skills are for reference.
How to disable. Remove the skill folders from your agent's directory, for example ~/.claude/skills/ or ~/.cursor/skills/, or remove them by name with npx skills remove.
Security check
- The skills consist only of instructions and methodology, with no code or network access
README in short
The README presents a collection of twenty skills for resumes, applications and careers, aimed at agents that read SKILL.md files. A table lists the skills: ATS optimization, rewriting lines into achievements, vacancy and match analysis, resume tailoring, cover letters, interview prep, salary negotiation and variants for technical, executive, academic and creative roles. Installation is via npx skills globally or per project, or by cloning and copying folders into the skills directory. It states compatibility with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex and others.
