What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae447d7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tailor Resume loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 574 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Tailor Your Resume

Generate an ATS-optimized resume customized for a specific job posting. Read references/ats-rules.md before generating any HTML.

Step 0: Load Context

  1. Read data/profile.yml for structured background data
  2. Read data/resume.md if it exists (full resume text for detail)
  3. Find the target evaluation:
    • If the user specified a company/role, search data/evaluations/ for a match
    • If "latest" or no argument, use the most recent evaluation file
    • If ambiguous, list recent evaluations and ask which one
  4. If no evaluation exists:

    "I need to evaluate the job first so I know what to emphasize. Paste the job posting and I'll assess it, then generate your resume."

Step 1: Keyword Extraction

From the evaluation + JD, extract 15-20 keywords that ATS systems scan for:

  • Exact phrases from "Required Qualifications" (highest priority)
  • Industry-standard terms (not creative synonyms)
  • Certifications, tools, methodologies named in the JD
  • Action verbs that match the responsibilities section

Step 2: Detect Language & Locale

  • JD in English + US company: Letter paper (8.5" x 11")
  • JD in English + non-US: A4
  • JD in another language: match that language, use A4
  • Resume language MUST match JD language

Step 3: Build Resume Content

Using the evaluation's Block E (Tailoring Plan) as a guide, construct each resume section from profile data:

Professional Summary (3-4 lines)
  • Open with years of experience + core identity
  • Include 3-5 top keywords from the JD naturally
  • End with a forward-looking statement connecting to this specific role
  • Use the narrative.headline from profile as a starting point
Experience Section
  • Include all roles from work_history, most relevant FIRST
  • For each role: Company, Title, Dates on one line
  • 3-5 bullets per role, ordered by relevance to THIS JD
  • Each bullet: Action verb + what you did + quantified result
  • Mirror JD language exactly (if JD says "project management", write "project management", not "programme management")
  • Pull specific numbers from proof_points and work_history highlights
Education Section
  • Degree, School, Year
  • Include relevant coursework or honors only if recent grad
Skills Section
  • List JD keywords FIRST, then additional skills
  • Group by category if 10+ skills (Technical, Tools, Methodologies, etc.)
  • Include both acronym and full form: "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)"
Show full SKILL.md (226 more words)Show less
Certifications Section (if applicable)
  • From credentials in profile
  • Include status, jurisdiction, number if relevant
Projects / Portfolio (if applicable and relevant)
  • Only include if the archetype values it (Creative, Technology)
  • Brief description + link + key metric

Step 4: Generate HTML

Read the template from references/resume-template.html.

Fill all {{PLACEHOLDER}} slots with the generated content.

ATS compliance rules (from references/ats-rules.md):

  • Single column ONLY
  • Standard section headers exactly: "Experience", "Education", "Skills"
  • No images, icons, or graphics
  • All text selectable (no text-in-images)
  • Standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Georgia, or system sans-serif
  • Font size: 10-12pt body, 14-16pt name
  • Margins: 0.5-1 inch
  • No headers/footers (ATS strips them)
  • Max 2 pages

Step 5: Output

Write the HTML to data/resumes/{company-slug}-{role-slug}.html.

Show the user a preview of the content (not the HTML code):

## Resume Preview: {Name} - {Target Role} at {Company}

**Summary:** {first 2 lines}

**Experience:**
- {Role 1} at {Company} ({dates}) - {first bullet}
- {Role 2} at {Company} ({dates}) - {first bullet}

**Skills:** {top 10}

**Keywords matched:** {n}/20 from the JD

Step 6: PDF Instructions

"Your tailored resume is saved at data/resumes/{filename}.html.

To save as PDF:

  1. Open the file in your browser (double-click it)
  2. Press Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows)
  3. Select Save as PDF
  4. Done!

The HTML is designed to print cleanly. What you see is what you get."

Step 7: Update Tracker

Update the matching row in data/applications.md:

  • Status: "Resume Ready" (if currently "Evaluated")
  • Notes: append "Resume: {filename}"

Step 8: Next Steps

"Resume is ready! Next steps:

  • Review it by opening the HTML file
  • Apply by saying 'help me with the {company} application'
  • Compare this role with others: 'compare my options'"
