What it does

Cv Honesty Check is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check a CV for claims that would not survive an interview, a reference or a background check: inflated titles, unprovable numbers, team results claimed as personal, date fudges and skills with no evidence. Use when asked to check my CV is accurate, will my CV hold up in an interview, is this claim too much, or as the last step before sending a CV. Produces a claim-by-claim risk table with the likely interview question, a safer truthful wording for each risky line, and a list of facts to verify before sending.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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, covering Interview preparation. 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 check my CV is accurate
  • Will my CV hold up in an interview
  • Is this claim too much
  • As the last step before sending a CV

Example prompts

  • “/cv-honesty-check”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Title: would HR records and a reference confirm it exactly? "Acting" or "interim" is fine if stated.
  2. Number: where does it come from? Could the person explain how it was measured in one minute?
  3. Ownership: "led" versus "contributed to". Did the person decide, or support?
  4. Dates: month and year match records? No overlaps hidden, no gaps stretched over.
  5. Skills: is each one used somewhere on the CV?
  6. Qualifications: awarded, or in progress? Labelled correctly?

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

Cv Honesty Check loads about 812 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~812

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.

CV Honesty Check

The most common reason a strong CV fails late is a line that does not hold up: a title the reference does not confirm, a number the candidate cannot explain, a project that was really the team's. This skill reads the CV the way a sceptical interviewer and a background checker would, and offers a truthful wording for every risky line.

Part of the pm-cv bundle. Run it before cv-docx-export.

What This Skill Produces

  • A claim table: each factual claim, its risk, and the question an interviewer would ask
  • Safer wording for each risky line, true and still strong
  • A verify list: dates, titles and figures to check against records before sending

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The CV
  • The person's own notes on any claim they are unsure of (for example which numbers are estimates)

Framework

For every factual claim, check:

  1. Title: would HR records and a reference confirm it exactly? "Acting" or "interim" is fine if stated.
  2. Number: where does it come from? Could the person explain how it was measured in one minute?
  3. Ownership: "led" versus "contributed to". Did the person decide, or support?
  4. Dates: month and year match records? No overlaps hidden, no gaps stretched over.
  5. Skills: is each one used somewhere on the CV?
  6. Qualifications: awarded, or in progress? Labelled correctly?

Risk levels:

  • High: would likely fail a reference or background check (title, dates, qualification)
  • Medium: would struggle under a follow-up question (number, ownership)
  • Low: vague but harmless

Output Format

Honesty check: [name]

1. Claim table | Line | Claim | Risk | Likely question | Safer wording | 2. Verify before sending | Fact | Check against | 3. Summary: count of high, medium and low risks, and whether it is ready to send

Quality Checks

  • Every title, date range, number and qualification is in the table
  • Every high or medium risk has a safer wording
  • Safer wordings are true and still specific
  • The summary says plainly whether the CV is ready

Anti-Patterns

  • Helping a claim sound more defensible without making it true. The goal is accuracy.
  • Stripping the CV of confidence. "Led" is fine when the person led.
  • Ignoring dates. Date fudges are among the most often checked items.
  • Moralising. Point out the risk and give the wording. Keep it practical.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Check my CV holds up before I send it."
  • "Is it OK to say I led this project? I was second in charge."
  • "Which lines on my CV would an interviewer challenge?"
  • "帮我检查简历里有没有夸大的地方。"
