At a glance

Create C-suite and VP-level resumes emphasizing strategic leadership, P&L ownership, and board-level impact.

  • The user mentions executive

What it does

Executive Resume Writer is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Create C-suite and VP-level resumes emphasizing strategic leadership, P&L ownership, and board-level impact. Use when the user mentions executive, C-suite, CEO, CFO, CTO, VP, director, or senior leadership resume.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions executive
  • Senior leadership resume

Example prompts

  • “/executive-resume-writer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Executive Resume Writer loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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.

Executive-Specific Considerations

Emphasize Transformation

Executives are hired to transform, not maintain. Show:

  • What changed because of you
  • Before/after states
  • Scale of impact

Transformation Story Formula: "Inherited [situation]. Implemented [strategic change]. Achieved [outcome]."

Show Leadership Philosophy

Unlike individual contributor resumes, executive resumes should hint at how you lead.

Examples:

  • "Known for building consensus across diverse stakeholder groups"
  • "Leads with data-driven decision making while maintaining strategic flexibility"
  • "Champions innovation while maintaining operational discipline"
Show full SKILL.md (214 more words)Show less
Handle Tenure Carefully

Short Tenures: Frame around specific missions

  • "Brought in to lead post-merger integration"
  • "Recruited for turnaround; completed in 18 months"
  • "Joined to prepare company for acquisition"

Long Tenures: Show progression and reinvention

  • "Promoted through 4 roles over 12 years"
  • "Led multiple transformations as company grew from $50M to $500M"
Confidential Information

Do:

  • Use percentage improvements when absolutes are confidential
  • Use ranges for revenue/headcount
  • Speak to relative impact

Don't:

  • Share proprietary strategies
  • Name confidential acquisition targets
  • Reveal undisclosed financial information

Executive Resume Tone

Power Language for Executives

Strategic Action Verbs:

  • Spearheaded, Orchestrated, Championed, Steered
  • Transformed, Revolutionized, Pioneered
  • Architected, Engineered (strategically)
  • Drove, Accelerated, Catalyzed

Leadership Language:

  • "Led organization through..."
  • "Built and scaled..."
  • "Established vision for..."
  • "Negotiated and secured..."
  • "Championed transformation..."
What to Avoid
  • ❌ Tactical/operational language (managed, handled, assisted)
  • ❌ First person pronouns (I, my, me)
  • ❌ Jargon without context
  • ❌ Generic statements without proof
  • ❌ Too much humility (take credit appropriately)
