cv-tailor

cv-tailor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zebbern/claude-code-guide. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,816 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A resume-editing workflow that compares a CV with a job description, rewrites experience using the STAR method—situation, task, action, result—and checks whether applicant-tracking systems can read it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to tailor a resume to a job posting, improve experience bullets, identify missing keywords, and review sections such as education, projects, and skills. It can work from pasted text or files.
Why use it?
It helps align a resume with the language of a specific role while making achievements clearer and more evidence-based. It also identifies formatting or content issues that may hinder automated screening.

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

cv-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 3d 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.

CV Tailor

Three pillars of resume optimization: Analyze keyword alignment against the target JD, rewrite experience bullets using the STAR method with quantified results, and run an ATS compatibility check — producing a highly targeted, high-pass-rate optimized resume.

Quick Start

The user provides their resume (content or file) and the target JD. The agent then automatically completes the optimization following the workflow below:

User: Help me optimize my resume — I'm applying for this role [attaches JD + resume]
Agent: [Follows the SOP workflow and outputs optimization recommendations plus a rewritten resume]

SOP Workflow

Phase 1: Input Collection & Initial Analysis

Goal: Gather the user's resume and target JD; establish an optimization baseline.

Steps:

  1. Collect materials:

    • Obtain the user's resume content (pasted text or file path)
    • Obtain the target JD (pasted text or role description)
    • If no JD is provided, ask about the target role direction (industry + position + level)
  2. Resume baseline parsing:

    • Identify resume sections (education, work experience, projects, skills, etc.)
    • Count resume length, number of experience entries, and time span
    • Note the current resume format type (reverse-chronological / functional / hybrid)
  3. JD core element extraction:

    • Job title and level
    • Core responsibilities (Top 5)
    • Hard requirements (must-haves)
    • Nice-to-haves
    • Key skill terms and industry jargon

Output: Resume status summary + JD element checklist


Phase 2: JD Keyword Match Analysis

Goal: Systematically compare keyword coverage between the resume and JD to identify match gaps.

Steps:

  1. Categorized keyword extraction: Extract three categories of keywords from the JD:

    Category Description Examples
    Hard skill keywords Tech stack, tools, methodologies Python, SQL, A/B testing, Scrum
    Soft skill keywords Competency requirements Cross-team collaboration, data-driven, project management
    Industry/domain keywords Domain-specific terminology DAU, conversion rate, user growth, SaaS

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.
