What is it?
ResumeSkills is a collection of 20 skill files for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Each skill is a markdown file that gives the agent specific frameworks and workflows for one career task, so the assistant applies them when a request matches, for example when you ask it to optimize a resume or prepare for an interview.
The skills cover resume optimization (ATS compatibility, bullet rewriting, quantifying achievements, formatting), job search strategy (job description matching, resume tailoring, version tracking, offer comparison), supporting documents (cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, portfolio case studies, references), interview and salary negotiation prep, and role-specific formats for tech, executive, academic, creative, and career-changing applicants.
Installation is available through the npx skills CLI, by cloning the repository and copying the skills folder into an agent's skills directory, or by downloading individual files.
