cv-tailor

Optimize resumes by matching keywords to the job description, rewriting experience with the quantified STAR method, and checking ATS compatibility. Triggered when users ask for resume help, review, or polishing, mention JD matching, STAR method, ATS, or want to tailor their resume for a specific role.

Quality

Content

73%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A thorough, well-sequenced SOP with strong templates, validation checkpoints, and feedback loops. The main weakness is conciseness: it over-explains concepts Claude already knows (STAR, ATS basics) and is longer than necessary.

Suggestions

Trim or remove the 'STAR Method Definition' table and 'ATS Basics' paragraph — Claude already knows these; keep only the skill-specific standards (coverage benchmarks, format passing criteria).

Move the detailed ATS format/content-structure tables and quantification guiding questions into a separate reference file, linked from the main workflow, to shorten SKILL.md and improve progressive disclosure.

Tighten Phase 3's quantification guidance table and the rewrite quality checklist, which overlap with content already conveyed in the STAR definition and diagnosis example.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient with substantial actionable detail, but includes unnecessary explanation Claude already knows (the STAR definition table and an 'ATS Basics' paragraph explaining what ATS is); not a 2 because the bulk is specific domain guidance rather than generic padding.	3 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready templates (keyword match matrix, ATS scorecard, before/after STAR rewrite example) and specific passing standards; not a 5 because some steps like 'rewrite each entry' rely on Claude's judgment without a fully executable specification.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Five phases are clearly sequenced with Goal/Steps/Output each, plus explicit validation (coverage benchmarks ≥80%, quality checklist), feedback loops (Iterative Refinement re-execute-and-cascade), and checklists for a complex process.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized into clearly labeled phases, tables, and checklists in a single file with no external references; not a 5 because it is a monolithic ~275-line document where some reference material (ATS format tables, quantification guidance) could be split out, but structure is good and navigation is clear.	4 / 5

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that clearly states what the skill does and when it should trigger, using third person and concrete domain terms. Minor improvements would come from adding synonyms (CV, cover letter) and slightly more granular action wording.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists three concrete actions ('matching keywords to the job description', 'rewriting experience with the quantified STAR method', 'checking ATS compatibility'), which is several specific actions with only minor granularity gaps; not a 5 because the actions are stated at a high level rather than enumerating the full set of granular operations.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Optimize resumes by matching keywords... rewriting experience... checking ATS compatibility') and when ('Triggered when users ask for resume help, review, or polishing, mention JD matching, STAR method, ATS...') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases users would say ('resume help, review, or polishing', 'tailor their resume for a specific role') plus domain terms (JD matching, STAR method, ATS); not a 5 because synonyms like 'CV' or 'cover letter' are absent and coverage is good rather than comprehensive.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (resume/JD tailoring) with distinct, domain-specific triggers (STAR, ATS, JD matching) and minimal overlap risk with other skills.	5 / 5
	Total	18 / 20 Passed
