job-application

job-application is a skill for Claude Code from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,432 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-application writing aid that adapts a CV and cover letter to a specific job description. CV means curriculum vitae, and ATS means software employers use to screen applications for matching terms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse a job description, tailor a resume or CV summary, write a personalised cover letter, and list assumptions or gaps that need confirmation.
Why use it?
Generic applications can overlook the employer's stated requirements and may be harder for screening software to match. This helps align the application with the role while identifying missing information or experience gaps.

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

job-application 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.

Job Application Skill

This skill tailors a CV and cover letter to a specific job description — optimising for ATS keyword matching while keeping the writing human and compelling. It also flags gaps between the candidate's profile and the role requirements.

Required Inputs

Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked (assumed, confirm) and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).

  • Job description (paste in full)
  • Current CV / resume (paste or describe key experience, roles, and skills)
  • The specific thing that excites them about this role (used in the cover letter — must be genuine)
  • Any particular strengths to emphasise (optional)
  • Any gaps they're worried about (optional — helps address them proactively)

Output Structure


Part 1: JD Analysis

Before writing anything, analyse the job description and output:

Must-Have Requirements

[List explicit requirements from the JD — qualifications, years of experience, specific skills]

Key Themes in the JD

[3–5 themes that repeat or are emphasised — these are the keywords and priorities the hiring manager cares about most]

ATS Keywords to Include

[List 10–15 specific keywords and phrases from the JD that should appear in the CV and cover letter. Include: tools, methodologies, job titles, skills]

Gaps Assessment

[Honest comparison between the candidate's profile and the JD requirements. Flag: "Strong match" / "Partial match — can be positioned as X" / "Gap — address in cover letter or don't apply"]


Part 2: Tailored CV Summary / Profile Section

Rewrite or create the candidate's CV summary/profile section (the 3–5 lines at the top of a CV) specifically for this role:

Rules:

  • Open with the job title or a near-match (ATS reward)
  • Include 2–3 keywords from the JD naturally
  • Reference years of experience in the relevant area
  • End with a forward-looking line connecting their background to what this role needs
  • Keep to 60–80 words maximum

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.
