Claude covers the summary, skills, experience, education and extra sections (projects, volunteer, languages, publications, awards). SKILL.md says when to include or skip a summary, gives three ways to organize skills, sets bullet counts by career stage, and lists a section order for five cases: standard, technical, recent graduate, executive and career changer.

It loads when you mention resume sections, a summary or skills section, or what to include. It ends with a recommendation template and a 10-item checklist. The folder holds a single SKILL.md and no scripts. Names and numbers in its examples are samples.

Good for

  • Job seekers unsure whether to include a summary or what to put in each section
  • Recent graduates deciding how much to lead with education and projects
  • Career changers and senior professionals reordering a resume for a new role

Install resume-section-builder

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Install the resume-section-builder skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

npx skills add https://github.com/Paramchoudhary/ResumeSkills --skill resume-section-builder

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

Pick one route. The README command installs every skill in the ResumeSkills repo (the README says 20, the repo tree has 22 skill folders); the other routes install only resume-section-builder. The repo has no plugin marketplace file. The folder is one markdown file, so the Claude app upload route works too.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

Questions

What does the resume-section-builder skill do?

It makes Claude advise on and draft individual resume sections for your experience level and target role. It also recommends which sections to include and in what order.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The README documents a skills CLI command that installs the whole ResumeSkills set, and the box also has a command for this skill alone.

Does it work in the Claude app?

The install box has a Claude app upload route for the skill folder. The folder is a single markdown file with no scripts.

Does it need an API key?

SKILL.md names no API key and the folder bundles no scripts.

Is it safe?

The folder bundles no scripts. Your resume text goes to whichever model you use, so remove details you do not want shared, such as your address.

Should I include a summary?

SKILL.md says include one for career changers, senior professionals, people returning to work and highly specialized roles. It says to skip it for entry-level candidates, straightforward careers or when space is tight.

How is it different from resume-formatter or resume-tailor?

The README describes resume-formatter as ATS-friendly formatting and clean layouts, and resume-tailor as customizing a resume for specific job postings. This skill covers what each section should contain and their order.

Do I need the other ResumeSkills skills?

No. SKILL.md does not call other skills. The README lists the whole collection as separate skills you can install together.
