coverletter

coverletter is a skill for Claude Code from reggiechan74/JobOps. It costs 18 tokens per session (4,615 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-application writing tool that creates a cover letter from a resume and matches the letter to job requirements in a table.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft tailored cover letters from Step 3 resumes and compare your experience with the requirements of a job posting.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of connecting a resume to a specific job. It can also gather missing information first when using forward mode.

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

coverletter 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 10d 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 — 238 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Configuration

Read .jobops/config.json. If missing, stop with:

JOBOPS NOT CONFIGURED Run /jobops:setup to initialize your workspace.

Use config.directories.<key> for all file paths in this skill. Use config.preferences.cultural_profile if this skill generates resume-style content. Use config.preferences.default_jurisdiction if this skill has jurisdiction-sensitive logic (crisis/legal skills accept --jurisdiction=<ISO-3166-2> to override).

Cover letter mode

Resolve the effective mode: the --mode= flag if present and valid, else config.preferences.cover_letter_mode, else retrospective (a config written before this key existed has no cover_letter_mode; treat the absence as retrospective). Reject an invalid --mode= value with: Invalid --mode value. Use retrospective or forward.

  • retrospective → dispatch the step4-cover-letter agent (Step 3 below), unchanged.
  • forward → run the forward intake interview, then dispatch the step4-cover-letter-forward agent.
Forward intake interview (mandatory for forward mode)

Forward mode never drafts without this interview, because the agent runs non-interactively and cannot ask the candidate anything mid-run. Before dispatch:

  1. Prime the problem set cheaply. Read the JD ($2) and, if it exists, the specialist files under {config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/ (corporate.md, legal.md, leadership.md, market.md). Do not run web searches here — the agent's Step 3a pipeline does the deep verification. Summarize the candidate-facing problem set in 2–4 bullets so the candidate reacts to evidence rather than inventing problems.
  2. Ask the five questions, one at a time, in the main conversation:
    1. Role thesis / problem set — given the primed bullets, what is this role actually there to solve?
    2. First-90-days actions — the 2–3 things you'd do first to address that problem set, plus one line on the 6–12 month arc.
    3. Per-action proof — for each action, the past work that backs your ability to do it.
    4. Gap & plan — the real gap you carry and how you'd work with it (without trivializing it as quickly closeable).
    5. Company-specific notes — anything about the firm's situation to reflect in the context paragraph or problem set.
  3. If the candidate declines or abandons the interview, do not draft. Tell them forward mode requires the interview, and that retrospective mode (--mode=retrospective) produces a letter without one.
  4. Pass the answers and the primed problem set inline to the step4-cover-letter-forward agent in its dispatch prompt.

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.
