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-score 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.

What it actually says

Score a resume against a job description. Be candid — a low score is useful information, not something to soften.

Invoke the resume-coach agent to perform the scoring analysis.

Workflow

1. Collect inputs

Resume — required. Accept:

  • A file path to an existing document in {user_dir}
  • An artifact name from CareerNavigator/artifacts-index.json (look up by filename)
  • Content pasted directly into the conversation

Job description — required. If not provided:

"Paste the job description to score against."

If the user only provided a resume with no JD, and there is an active role in context (e.g., from a recent search-jobs result or tracker entry), ask:

"Which job description should I score this against?"

2. Invoke resume-coach

Pass the resume text and JD to resume-coach for analysis. The agent applies its ATS compatibility, narrative strength, and strategic fit scoring rubrics and returns scores per dimension.

3. Present the score

**Resume Score** — {Resume filename} vs. {Company/Role or "provided JD"}

Overall: {n}/100

ATS Compatibility    {n}/40
  {keyword match count, formatting flags, one line each}

Narrative Strength  {n}/35
  {2–3 sentences of candid assessment: achievement quality, summary relevance, seniority signal}

Strategic Fit       {n}/25
  {1–2 sentences: role alignment and differentiator visibility}

---
Top gaps to address
1. {Missing keyword or structural issue} — {why it matters}
2. ...
3. ...

Cap the gaps list at 5. Order by impact on ATS pass rate first, narrative second.

4. Offer next steps

After the score, offer:

"Want me to tailor a new version of this resume for the role? Run /career-navigator:tailor-resume or just say 'tailor it'."

Do not automatically trigger tailoring — scoring and tailoring are distinct operations. Let the user decide.

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.
