Updated: Jun 2026; last repo commit

Claude restructures the resume in a recommended section order (7 parts, from contact details with GitHub to certifications). It also reorganizes the technical skills, rewrites experience bullets with a fixed formula and picks projects to feature. It returns a report with a skills restructure, bullet rewrites, projects to highlight, GitHub tips and technical gaps.

SKILL.md aims at passing ATS and impressing technical recruiters. It bundles no scripts. The numbers in its examples are samples, so use your own real figures.

Good for

Software, data and DevOps engineers updating a resume
Technical product managers
Bootcamp graduates and self-taught engineers who rely on projects

Metrics fall in four groups: scale, performance, efficiency and business.

The figures in them are samples to show the shape, not numbers to copy.

Projects matter most for juniors, career changers, bootcamp graduates and anyone with gaps. Tutorial follow-alongs are on the don't list.
Projects section
Formats for a standard degree, a bootcamp graduate and a self-taught engineer.
Self-taught engineers list certifications and relevant education such as open courseware.
Education for tech
Pinned repos, a profile README, and how to handle a stack mismatch.

Questions

What does tech-resume-optimizer do?

It makes Claude restructure a resume for technical roles. That covers the skills section, how experience bullets are written, which projects to show and what to put on GitHub.

Which roles is it for?

SKILL.md names software engineering, product management, data and DevOps. Its example bullets cover software engineer, data engineer, DevOps or SRE, and technical PM.

Will it invent metrics for my bullets?

The examples in SKILL.md use sample numbers. Our advice: replace them with figures you can back up, because SKILL.md also says to claim only what you can discuss in an interview.

How do I install it?

Use the install box above. The README's one command installs the whole repo (it says 20 skills; the repo's skills folder holds 22), and the single-skill command installs only this one. The Claude tab shows the ZIP upload for the Claude app.

How is it different from the other resume skills?

The README lists resume-ats-optimizer for ATS checks and keyword match, and resume-tailor for customizing a resume to a specific posting. This skill is for technical roles and covers tech-specific layout, bullets and projects.

Is it safe to use?

It bundles no scripts and names no API key. It works on the resume text you paste, which holds personal details, so share only what you are comfortable giving Claude.
