Questions

What does the resume-bullet-writer skill do?

It makes Claude rewrite weak resume bullets into achievement statements. Claude adds metrics, strong verbs and clear results using the X-Y-Z, STAR and CAR formulas.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The README also shows a command that installs all 20 skills in the repo. The skill is one SKILL.md file with no scripts.

Will it make up numbers for my bullets?

SKILL.md tells Claude to ask clarifying questions and gather your facts first. When you do not have exact numbers it suggests approximations, ranges and conservative estimates. Only keep numbers you can defend in an interview (our advice).

Does it work in the Claude app?

Yes. It is one SKILL.md file with no scripts, so the install box offers a Claude app upload. The repo README names Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex and Gemini CLI.

How is it different from the other skills in the repo?

This one rewrites individual bullets. The README lists separate skills for ATS checks, resume-quantifier for finding metrics, resume-tailor for job-specific versions and cover letters.

Is it safe?

It bundles no scripts. The resume text you paste goes to your assistant as part of the conversation, so leave out details you would not share, such as your home address or ID numbers.
