resume-tailoring is a skill for Claude Code from snehag01/rebound. It costs 53 tokens per session (897 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for adapting a resume to a specific job description, or JD, which lists a role's responsibilities and requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare a resume with a job description, handle gaps honestly, mirror useful wording, and emphasize primary skills over secondary ones.
Why use it?
It makes relevant experience easier to find without inventing employers, skills, dates, tools, or results.

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-tailoring 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.

Resume Tailoring — the Rebound method

Tailor a resume so it is genuinely relevant to the target JD and defensible in an interview. Relevance without honesty gets people screened out at the technical round; honesty without relevance never gets them in. Do both.

Non-negotiables

  1. The base resume is the source of truth. Re-word, re-order, re-emphasize. Never invent employers, titles, dates, tools, or metrics.
  2. Honesty-first tooling. Never present a technology the person hasn't used as expertise. Label unproven-but-plausible tools "(working knowledge)" or "(familiar)". If they've never touched it, it goes in framing (fast-ramp), not in a skills list as a core competency.
  3. Primary over secondary. Surface JD-relevant secondary skills, but never rank them above the person's actual primary stack. (A backend/distributed engineer applying to a full-stack role still leads with backend depth; React/Node support it, don't headline over it.)

Workflow

  1. Parse the JD into: title, level, must-have (required) quals, nice-to-have (preferred) quals, and the explicit tech stack. Note remote/hybrid and any hard filters.
  2. Fit analysis — two columns:
    • Strong matches: JD requirement → concrete evidence from the base resume.
    • Gaps: required things the base doesn't show.
  3. Handle material gaps by asking, not guessing. For a top required skill the base lacks, ask the user their real exposure (production / some / none). Their answer sets the treatment:
    • Production → feature it as a core skill.
    • Some / adjacent → "(working knowledge)" + transferable framing.
    • None → do not claim it; lean on fast-learner framing (see below) and genuine adjacent strengths.
  4. Rewrite for the role:
    • Summary + title/tagline: lead with the strongest truthful matches; mirror the JD's own words (ATS keyword match) without stuffing.
    • Experience bullets: reorder and re-frame toward the JD. Keep every metric. Lead bullets with a bolded outcome/verb.
    • Skills: front-load matched keywords in sensible groupings; drop dead/irrelevant tools.
  5. Cluster similar roles. If several target roles are near-identical, build ONE differentiated resume and reuse it — don't ship 13 trivially different files. Genuinely distinct role families each get their own drastically-different cut (summary, skills, reframed bullets).
