# Resume and Cover Letter Writer Produces job application documents: a resume/CV, a cover letter, or both. Every output is tailored to a specific role at a specific company — generic documents are not useful. ## Before You Start Gather these inputs. Ask for anything missing: 1. **Target role** — job title, company name, and the job listing or description (paste or URL) 2. **Mode** — "resume", "cover-letter", or "both" 3. **Region** — AU/NZ, US, or UK (affects format, terminology, length expectations) 4. **Candidate background** — current role, years of experience, key skills, education, career highlights 5. **Special circumstances** (if any) — career change, employment gap, overqualified, underqualified, visa/relocation If the user provides a job listing, extract the key requirements and tailor everything to match them. Mirror the language the listing uses for skills and responsibilities. --- ## Resume / CV ### Regional Format Differences | Element | AU/NZ | US | UK | |---------|-------|----|----| | Name | CV or resume (both accepted) | Resume | CV | | Length | 2-3 pages standard | 1 page (<10 years exp), 2 max | 2 pages standard | | Photo | No | No | No | | Date of birth / age | N

What does the resume-cover-letter skill do?
Write a resume / CV or cover letter tailored to a specific role. Handles regional format differences (AU/NZ, US, UK), ATS-friendly formatting, achievement-focused bullets, and cover letter structure. Use whenever the user mentions a job application, resume, CV, cover letter, career document, applying for a role, or needs help framing their experience for a specific job.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jezweb/claude-skills --skill resume-cover-letter --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jezweb/claude-skills, a repository with 954 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
