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 11d 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 Skill

Overview

Generates high-quality, tailored resumes optimized for specific job descriptions while maintaining factual integrity. Builds resumes around the holistic person by surfacing undocumented experiences through conversational discovery.

Core Principle: Truth-preserving optimization - maximize fit while maintaining factual integrity. Never fabricate experience, but intelligently reframe and emphasize relevant aspects.

Mission: A person's ability to get a job should be based on their experiences and capabilities, not on their resume writing skills.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • User provides a job description and wants a tailored resume
  • User has multiple existing resumes in markdown format
  • User wants to optimize their application for a specific role/company
  • User needs help surfacing and articulating undocumented experiences

DO NOT use for:

  • Generic resume writing from scratch (user needs existing resume library)
  • Cover letters (different skill)
  • LinkedIn profile optimization (different skill)

Quick Start

Required from user:

  1. Job description (text or URL)
  2. Resume library location (defaults to resumes/ in current directory)

Workflow:

  1. Build library from existing resumes
  2. Research company/role
  3. Create template (with user checkpoint)
  4. Optional: Branching experience discovery
  5. Match content with confidence scoring
  6. Generate MD + DOCX + PDF + Report
  7. User review → Optional library update

Implementation

See supporting files:

  • research-prompts.md - Structured prompts for company/role research
  • matching-strategies.md - Content matching algorithms and scoring
  • branching-questions.md - Experience discovery conversation patterns

Workflow Details

Multi-Job Detection

Triggers when user provides:

  • Multiple JD URLs (comma or newline separated)
  • Phrases: "multiple jobs", "several positions", "batch", "3 jobs"
  • List of companies/roles: "Microsoft PM, Google TPM, AWS PM"

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.
