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

resume-cover-letter 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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 No No No
Nationality / visa Include if relevant (common in AU/NZ) No (discrimination risk) Include visa status if applicable
Referees "Available on request" is outdated — omit entirely, or list 2 if specifically requested Omit Omit
Address City/state only (no street) City/state only City only

Section Order

Adjust based on seniority and what sells the candidate best:

Entry-level / graduate (0-3 years):

  1. Contact details
  2. Professional summary (3-4 lines)
  3. Education
  4. Experience (internships, part-time, volunteer)
  5. Skills
  6. Certifications / projects

Mid-career (3-10 years):

  1. Contact details
  2. Professional summary
  3. Experience
  4. Skills

  6. Education
  7. Professional memberships

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.
