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

ats-resume-agent 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 1mo 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.

Resume & Cover Letter Workflow

Standard Process

When asked to generate a resume, cover letter, or both for a job posting:

  1. Use the ats-resume-writer agent for all resume and cover letter generation
  2. Resume template: templates/resume-template.tex
  3. Cover letter template: templates/cover-letter-template.tex
  4. Source of truth for all content: Your Master_Career_Document.md in the project root
  5. Job description files follow the pattern: Job_Description-[Company]-[Role].md

After generating each .tex file:

  • Compile to PDF using pdflatex (run twice for proper cross-references)
  • Clean up all auxiliary files (.aux, .log, .out, .toc, .fls, .fdb_latexmk, etc.)
  • Keep only the .tex source, the final .pdf, and the .txt export
  • If Bun is installed, run bun tools/validate.ts <resume.tex> Master_Career_Document.md. For a cover letter, add the job description file as a third argument. If it reports an unsupported claim, remove or correct that claim in the generated file, recompile, and run it again until it passes. Never add anything to the Master Career Document to make it pass
  • Once the validator passes, and if Bun is installed, run bun tools/export-text.ts <file.tex> to write the plain-text export

Output Naming Convention

  • Resume: output/Resume-[YourName]-[Company]-[Role].tex / .pdf
  • Cover Letter: output/CoverLetter-[YourName]-[Company]-[Role].tex / .pdf

Hard Constraints

  • Only use information explicitly present in your Master Career Document
  • Do not infer, embellish, fabricate, or generalize beyond what is stated in the master document
  • Do not add skills, experiences, metrics, or claims not directly supported by the source document

Usage

  1. Place your Master_Career_Document.md in the project root (see examples/ for format)
  2. Drop a job description file in the project root
  3. Say something like:

"Resume and cover letter for the [Company] file"

Claude will handle the rest using the above process.

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.
