  • Works in 3 steps: Skills Inventory Enrichment → Gap Analysis → Learning Plan
  • The user wants an honest picture of their skills against a target role
  • SKILL.md covers Capabilities, Quick Start, Accessibility and Evidence Rules, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Skills Radar is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when the user wants an honest picture of their skills against a target role, such as a skills inventory, a gap analysis, finding skills missing from their CV, understanding repeated "lacks X" rejections, or a learning plan. Mines their public work (with consent) for evidence and separates real skill gaps from evidence gaps.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/gap-analysis.md`, `references/learning-plan-template.md` and `references/skill-enrichment.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants an honest picture of their skills against a target role
  • Such as a skills inventory
  • Finding skills missing from their CV
  • Understanding repeated lacks X rejections

Example prompts

  • “lacks X”
  • “/skills-radar”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Skills Inventory Enrichment
  2. Gap Analysis
  3. Learning Plan

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

    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

Skills Radar loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,164 words (~2,263 tokens).

“Know what you can evidence, see what a target role demands, and close the gap deliberately.”
