Implementation
42%This skill is highly actionable with excellent concrete examples and clear step-by-step workflow, but suffers from severe verbosity. It explains concepts Claude already knows (resume basics, ATS systems, formatting rules) and could be reduced by 60-70% while maintaining effectiveness. The content would benefit from splitting into a concise overview with references to detailed guides for special cases.
Suggestions
Remove sections explaining concepts Claude already knows: 'What This Skill Does', basic resume best practices, and obvious formatting guidelines - reduce to essential project-specific instructions only
Split special considerations (Career Changers, Recent Graduates, Senior Executives, etc.) into a separate SPECIAL_CASES.md file referenced from the main skill
Add a validation checkpoint after step 4 (Structure the Tailored Resume) to verify alignment with extracted job requirements before proceeding to optimization
Condense the 10-step instruction section to 4-5 essential steps, removing redundant guidance that duplicates the example output
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose at ~350 lines. Explains obvious concepts Claude already knows (what ATS is, how to write bullet points, basic resume structure). Sections like 'What This Skill Does' and extensive 'Best Practices' are unnecessary padding that Claude inherently understands. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance with specific examples of user inputs and complete generated resume output. The step-by-step instructions are detailed with specific formatting patterns like '[Action Verb] + [What] + [How/Why] + [Result/Impact]'. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly numbered and sequenced (1-10), but lacks validation checkpoints. No explicit verification steps to confirm the tailored resume matches requirements before presenting to user, and no feedback loop for catching errors in the generation process. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Monolithic wall of text with no references to external files. All content is inline including detailed special considerations, best practices, and extensive examples that could be split into separate reference documents for different use cases. | 1 / 3 |

Activation
33%The description communicates the core purpose of resume tailoring adequately but suffers from missing explicit trigger guidance, which is critical for skill selection. It uses appropriate third-person voice and mentions relevant concepts, but lacks the specificity and completeness needed for reliable skill matching among many options.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with explicit triggers like 'Use when the user asks to tailor a resume, create a CV, apply for a job, or match their experience to a job posting'
Include common term variations users might say: 'CV', 'job application', 'job posting', 'career', 'apply for position'
List more specific actions: 'rewrites bullet points', 'matches keywords from job postings', 'formats resume sections', 'quantifies achievements'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (job descriptions, resumes) and some actions (analyzes, generates, highlight), but lacks comprehensive specific actions like 'formats sections', 'rewrites bullet points', or 'matches keywords'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what it does (analyzes job descriptions, generates tailored resumes) but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant terms like 'job descriptions', 'resumes', 'experience', 'skills', 'interview' but misses common variations users might say like 'CV', 'cover letter', 'job application', 'job posting', or 'tailor my resume'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Reasonably specific to resume/job application domain, but could overlap with general writing skills or career advice skills without clearer boundaries on when to trigger. | 2 / 3 |
