What is resume-tailor?

A resume-tailoring workflow that adapts a resume to one job description using an existing career profile as its source. A career profile is a detailed record of someone's work history, skills, and achievements.

It analyzes a job description, identifies gaps, drafts a targeted resume, checks it for applicant-tracking-system compatibility, and can produce Markdown, Word, and PDF files.

It avoids rewriting a generic resume from scratch for every application and keeps claims tied to the user's existing information.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00154	$0.03727
Opus 5.5	$0.00062	$0.01491
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00031	$0.00745
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00373

Security

Grade A, and why

resume-tailor 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resume Tailor

Take a job description and a career profile, produce a tailored resume in markdown, .docx, and .pdf. The whole workflow is roughly 15 minutes for a user who already has a profile. The skill orchestrates: JD analysis → gap scorecard → minimal targeted discovery → draft → ATS pass → render → optional git commit.

Why this skill exists separately from career-profile-builder

The profile interview is exhausting and only happens occasionally. The tailoring workflow is fast and happens dozens of times. Different cadences, different mental models. Mashing them together means recurring users get re-asked profile questions every time, which is the worst-of-both-worlds.

This skill assumes the profile already exists. If it doesn't, the skill stops and points the user at career-profile-builder — it does not try to do a profile interview from inside a tailoring session.

Output contract

For each tailoring session, the skill produces (in the user's chosen working directory):

resume_<JD-ID>.md — the canonical source-of-truth for this tailored version
resume_<JD-ID>.docx — pandoc-rendered, ATS-friendly (the recruiter / ATS upload format)
resume_<JD-ID>.pdf — for emailing to humans (the "looks good in preview" format)
resume_<JD-ID>.html — the intermediate (kept around because it's free and useful)

All four files share a stem so they're easy to diff, version, and find. <JD-ID> is the user-supplied or auto-detected requisition ID (e.g., R13927). If no ID is available, fall back to <role-slug>_<YYYY-MM-DD> — e.g., senior-platform-eng_2026-04-28.

If pandoc is missing, the skill emits .md and .html only and tells the user what they're missing. See "Rendering" below.

Required inputs

A career profile file — typically career_profile.md in the current directory. The skill reads this first and refuses to proceed without it (see "Profile preflight" below).
A job description — pasted into chat, supplied as a file path, or a URL the user wants fetched.
(Optional) An output directory — defaults to the current working directory.
(Optional) A page-count target — defaults to 2.

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.
