What it does
Cover Letter is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a specific, non-generic cover letter that connects your evidence to the role. Use when asked to write a cover letter, an application letter, or a note to accompany a resume. Produces a tight 3–4 paragraph letter — a real hook, two evidence paragraphs mapping your proof to the job's needs, and a confident close — tailored to the company, ready to export as a designed PDF.
Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `templates/cover-letter.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to write a cover letter
- An application letter
- A note to accompany a resume
Example prompts
- “/cover-letter”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.
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
Cover Letter loads about 863 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- cover-letter
- description
- Write a specific, non-generic cover letter that connects your evidence to the role. Use when asked to write a cover letter, an application letter, or a note to accompany a resume. Produces a tight 3–4 paragraph letter — a real hook, two evidence paragraphs mapping your proof to the job's needs, and a confident close — tailored to the company, ready to export as a designed PDF.
Cover Letter Skill
Most cover letters are throat-clearing the reader skips. A good one does one job: connect your specific evidence to this company's specific need, in a voice that sounds like a person. This skill writes a tight, tailored letter — no "I am writing to apply for…", no restating the resume — that earns the read.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- The role & company — and the job description (the letter must be specific to it).
- Why this company — something genuine: their product, mission, a recent move (avoids generic flattery).
- Your 2–3 strongest, most relevant proofs — the achievements that map to what they need.
- Tone — warm-professional (default), or more formal/creative per the company's culture.
Output Format
A 3–4 paragraph letter (≈250–350 words):
[Name] · [email] · [phone] · [date] Dear [hiring manager name, or "Hiring Team" if unknown],
Hook (1 short para) — open with a specific reason you're writing to them — a genuine connection to their product/mission/moment — and the role you want. No "I am writing to apply."
Evidence (1–2 paras) — the heart: take the role's top 2–3 needs and show, with a concrete result each, that you've done it. Map your proof to their problem; don't recap the resume — interpret it.
Close (1 short para) — what you'd bring, an honest note of enthusiasm, and a forward-looking line ("I'd love to talk about…"). Confident, not desperate.
Sincerely, [Name]
Voice note (for the user): keep it human — contractions, active voice, no thesaurus words. Read it aloud; if it sounds like a robot, cut.
Deeper Materials
templates/cover-letter.md— the four-paragraph template with anti-throat-clearing gates
Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
Quality Checks
- The opening is specific to this company — it could not be pasted to another employer
- Each evidence point maps a real, quantified result to one of the role's stated needs
- It complements the resume (interprets/connects) rather than repeating its bullets
- Under ~350 words; tight, scannable paragraphs
- Voice sounds like a person (contractions, active verbs), not a template
- Addressed to a named person where findable
Anti-Patterns
- Do not open with "I am writing to apply for the position of…" — it wastes the most valuable line
- Do not restate the resume — the letter adds connection and context, not a duplicate list
- Do not use generic flattery ("your prestigious company") — name something real and specific
- Do not pad to a page — a tight 4 paragraphs beats a full page of filler
- Do not sound desperate or arrogant — aim for confident and genuinely interested
Based On
Modern cover-letter practice — specific hook, evidence-to-need mapping, human voice.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a cover letter."
- "Write an application letter for this job."
- "Write a note to go with my CV."
- "Make my cover letter less generic."
