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

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 20d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cover Letter Generator

Generate a tailored cover letter using cover_letter.py.

How to invoke

Slash command (preferred):

/cover-letter https://job-url
/cover-letter https://job-url Company Name
/cover-letter https://job-url Company Name "Role Title"

Or natural language: cover letter <url>, generate cover letter for Constructor

How to run

python cover_letter.py "https://job-url" "Company Name" "Role Title"
python cover_letter.py "https://job-url" "Company Name"   # role extracted from JD
python cover_letter.py "https://job-url" "Company Name" "Role Title" --referral "Name, their role"

Use --referral whenever the user mentions a referral (someone at the company recommended her): the opening line then names the referrer.

What it does

  1. Fetches the job description from the URL (same scraper as resume_tailor.py)
  2. Calls Gemini to generate three tailored paragraphs:
    • Opening paragraph — 2 sentences, never "I am writing to express my interest". Gemini picks the strongest type for the job: referral, specific achievement (only from the verified CANDIDATE ACHIEVEMENTS list in the prompt), company-specific observation, or direct capability. The code rejects banned phrases and false domain claims (NASDAQ = trade surveillance, not payments/banking) and falls back to a safe achievement-led opening; the console prints the opening type and any rejection reason.
    • Matched skills paragraph — specific tech/tools from the JD that the candidate has
    • Gap bridge paragraph — honest: states what she hasn't used, never claims she is "learning/deepening" a gap technology
  3. Assembles the full letter using a fixed template (opening, generated paras, fixed personal projects + close)
  4. Saves DOCX to cover_letters/CoverLetter_{Company}.docx
  5. Dumps the full text to console

Output location

cover_letters/CoverLetter_{Company}.docx (next to the resume output folder set in config.py)

Template structure (fixed)

  1. Header (Paris, France | phone | email)
  2. "Respected Hiring Manager,"
  3. Opening — Gemini-generated (achievement / company / capability / referral), validated in code
  4. Matched skills para — Gemini-generated
  5. Gap bridge para — Gemini-generated
  6. Personal projects para — hardcoded (job pipeline + Fit-Check)
  7. Close para — hardcoded (Paris, open to remote/hybrid, aligns with company goals)
  8. Sign-off

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.
