What it does
Application Optimiser is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when the user is applying for a specific role and wants help with the application itself, such as tailoring or fixing a CV for ATS, researching the company and role, planning the application, writing a cover letter or supporting statement, or producing an upload-ready CV PDF. Delivers verified outputs with layout and ATS text-layer checks.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 20 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/ATS-Helper.md`, `references/application-strategy-template.md` and `references/career-returner-cv-guide.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing and PDF. The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c19cefe. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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
Application Optimiser loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~44k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,279 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,279 words (~2,822 tokens).
“Research companies, optimise your CV for ATS systems, and plan your application strategy.”
