cv-forge CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for maintaining two career tools: one that builds a user's reusable career profile and another that tailors a CV to a job posting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the CV-profiler or CV-tailor skills, their references, CV and cover-letter templates, or related documentation.
Why use it?
They keep changes consistent with the project's architecture, principles, shared vocabulary, and rules for the two skills.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cv-forge CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for working on the cv-forge repo with Claude Code. This is dev-time guidance for maintaining the project; it is not shipped to users.

What this repo is

Two skills forming a pipeline: cv-profiler builds a Career Profile (the user's single source of truth) through an interview; cv-tailor turns that profile plus a job posting into a tailored CV. Read docs/architecture.md for the big picture and docs/decisions.md for why things are the way they are.

Layout

  • skills/<name>/SKILL.md — the skills (cv-profiler, cv-tailor); one folder per skill, with disclosed reference under skills/<name>/references/ (including cv-profiler's worked example profiles, shipped as few-shot).
  • skills/cv-tailor/templates/ — CV / cover-letter templates, kept inside the skill so the installer ships them with it.
  • docs/ — project documentation.
  • CONTEXT.md — shared vocabulary.

Before changing a skill

Read docs/principles.md and docs/career-profile.md. Changes must stay consistent with them.

Invariants — do not break

  • Prompts in English. The interview and the output are multilingual, but the SKILL.md instructions themselves stay in English.
  • Zero fabrication. Skills never invent, estimate, or embellish facts. Wording may be polished; facts and their meaning may not change.
  • The Career Profile is the contract between the two skills. If you rename a section, marker, or convention in one skill, update the other skill and docs/career-profile.md in the same change — a mismatch silently breaks the pipeline.
  • Never commit personal data — real Career Profiles, generated CVs, or output/.

Keep in sync

  • Add / rename / remove a skill → update README.md (link the skill name to its SKILL.md).
  • Change a skill's behaviour → update the relevant docs/ page and add a CHANGELOG.md entry under [Unreleased].
  • Complete or reshape planned work → update docs/roadmap.md.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
