Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: shipped in a Claude Code plugin, but also agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **State layer:** this skill owns source work-document version bumps. See [state-layer contract section 6](../_shared/state-layer.md#6-work-document-frontmatter-.

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-builder 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 12d 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 — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Terminology

Two document categories:

  • Work document: the user's source career document. It may be saved in resume format at my-documents/resume.md or CV format at my-documents/cv.md. These are format variants of the same workflow; downstream resume skills must accommodate either.
  • Cover letter: an accompanying letter for a specific role, company, or tightly defined target lane. my-documents/coverletter.md is a source letter, not permission to create something generic enough to send anywhere.

Format-specific conventions:

  • Resume format: US 1-2 page work document with concise sections and optional Professional Summary.
  • CV format: UK/EU 1-2 page work document with Personal Statement, degree classification when relevant, Languages with CEFR when relevant, and "References available on request" where expected. Not the US academic CV.

Disambiguation rule: If the user says "CV" without naming a region, ask whether they need a UK/EU-style work CV or are using CV to mean a US resume. If academic signals appear, say directly that academic CVs with publications, grants, and teaching sections are out of scope; offer a UK/EU-style work CV or US-style resume for industry applications.

Vocabulary rule: Mirror the user's word. If they say "CV," say "CV." If they say "resume," say "resume." Save that word in the label frontmatter field and preserve it on future edits.

Workflow

Onboarding hand-off: If the user appears to be on a fresh clone or is new to Job Hunt Skills, hand off to get-started. This skill focuses on the document itself.

State layer: this skill owns source work-document version bumps. See state-layer contract section 6.

1. First-run scaffolding

Follow the Workspace Preflight (state-layer §10).

  • If my-documents/ does not yet exist at the resolved path, hand off to get-started for the workspace confirmation flow. Do not run the scaffolder yourself — the user needs the novice-friendly "where will my files live" conversation before any file is written.
  • If my-documents/ already exists, run node "{job_hunt_skills_root}/scripts/scaffold-state.mjs" to fill in any missing pieces. If it exits with the "working directory is the plugin install dir" message, surface that message verbatim and stop. If it fails for any other reason (Node missing, no shell access), fall back to creating any missing structure with native file tools per state-layer §10 step 5.
  • Verify before writing. Regardless of which path was taken, confirm the four canonical directories and two markdown files exist under my-documents/ before producing a resume. A skill that generates a resume into an unscaffolded workspace is the failure mode this check exists to prevent.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
