1Resume Ats OptimizerResume ATS Optimizer is an agent skill for applicants who suspect automated screening is blocking interviews. It parses resume text, tests compatibility with Applicant Tracking Systems, compares keywords to target job descriptions, and surfaces formatting mistakes—tables, columns, image text, non-standard headers—that cause silent rejections. Solo builders use it when they pivot careers, seek contract roles to fund their product, or draft hiring rubrics for their own open roles. The skill is checker-heavy: match scores, keyword gaps, and ATS-friendly formatting recommendations rather than generic resume prose coaching. Invoke it when users mention ATS, missing callbacks, or paste a resume while applying to jobs. It does not guarantee interviews; it improves structured parseability and alignment to posted requirements. Pair with human proofreading for narrative quality and comply with each employer's application rules.676installs2Linkedin Profile OptimizerLinkedIn Profile Optimizer is an agent skill that coaches solo builders and job seekers through section-by-section LinkedIn upgrades—headline, About, Experience, photo guidance, and keyword coverage—so profiles rank in recruiter search and read clearly to a broad employer audience. It encodes how LinkedIn differs from a resume: unlimited length, conversational tone, industry-wide keywords, and an always-current public presence rather than a single-application PDF. Use it when you mention LinkedIn optimization, recruiter visibility, syncing a resume to LinkedIn, or improving headline and summary copy. The skill focuses on searchability and engagement mechanics founders need when they wear the hat of their own marketer, whether you are between builds, hiring your first teammate, or establishing credibility while you ship.607installs3Resume Bullet Writerresume-bullet-writer is an agent skill for solo builders who wear every hat—including pitching themselves when fundraising, contracting, or hiring. Most resumes list responsibilities; hiring managers and clients buy outcomes. This skill transforms vague lines like “helped with customer service” into concrete achievements with scale, metrics, and verbs that signal ownership. It encodes the STAR method and the X-Y-Z formula so each bullet answers what you did, how you measured success, and why it mattered. Use it when you are refreshing a CV before a launch pushes you into speaking gigs, when you need a stronger founder bio derived from real work, or when weak bullets show up in a LinkedIn or portfolio paste. The skill is deliberately editorial: it does not invent fake numbers but pushes you to surface real quantifiers and eliminate passive phrasing. Triggers include phrases like “improve my bullets,” “quantify my achievements,” and “results-driven.” For agent users in Claude Code or Cursor, it is a fast pass over experience text before you validate your personal brand in parallel with product validation.559installs4Resume TailorResume Tailor is an agent skill for customizing a resume to a specific job posting while keeping every claim authentic. Indie builders frequently alternate between shipping products and contracting or full-time roles; this skill turns a general CV into a scoped artifact that mirrors the employer’s language and priorities. It walks through analyzing the role (ideally after Job Description Analyzer), auditing each section for fit, reordering experience, tuning the professional summary, and editing bullets so required skills surface naturally. The philosophy is selective emphasis from a library of true wins—not fabrication. You can maintain parallel versions for different role families (IC engineer, founder-friendly generalist, technical PM) without maintaining contradictory facts. Use it when you have a posting URL or description and a base resume ready to adapt.506installs5Interview Prep GeneratorInterview Prep Generator is an agent skill for solo builders and job seekers who need structured rehearsal before behavioral and role-fit interviews. It walks through role analysis on the job description, converts resume bullets into STAR stories with explicit length guidance for each section, and produces practice questions, answers, and questions you should ask the interviewer. Use it when you mention interview prep, STAR stories, behavioral questions, or preparing for a specific role—not when you only need resume formatting or ATS keyword stuffing. The skill emphasizes measurable results in stories and anticipates gaps or concerns recruiters might probe. It fits the Grow phase because shipping products often coincides with pitching yourself to clients, co-founders, or employers, and strong narratives reduce friction in those conversations.480installs6Tech Resume OptimizerTech Resume Optimizer is an agent skill for solo and indie builders who apply to software engineering, product, data, or DevOps roles and need a resume that passes ATS and reads well to technical recruiters. It walks through section order—from contact and optional summary through skills, experience, projects, education, and certs—and emphasizes what hiring teams actually weigh: relevant stack, scale and impact numbers, problem-solving proof, system design signals, collaboration, and growth trajectory. Use it when you mention tech resumes, developer applications, SWE or PM CVs, or when you want help highlighting GitHub and portfolio links without burying metrics. It is editorial and structural guidance, not a job board integration; you still supply real achievements and verify facts yourself.477installs7Resume Formatterresume-formatter is an agent skill that helps solo builders and job seekers produce resumes that both applicant tracking systems and recruiters can read quickly. Use it when your draft is dense, visually noisy, or failing automated screens even though the experience is strong. The skill encodes practical document setup: how many pages to target by career stage, safe margin ranges, ATS-friendly font choices, and section-level type sizes including name and headings. It stresses that formatting is not decoration—it is a compatibility layer between your story and hiring pipelines. Indie founders often maintain a resume for consulting, grants, or co-founder searches while running a product; this skill keeps agents from inventing fancy layouts that break parsers or waste whitespace.469installs8Job Description Analyzerjob-description-analyzer is an agent skill for solo builders and technical founders who also navigate hiring markets without a recruiter on retainer. It runs a structured pass over a job description: categorize requirements, score how your background aligns, surface gaps and strengths, and output a tailoring plan for resume and cover letter. The skill explicitly recommends analyzing before deep resume work so you do not burn cycles on poor-fit or toxic postings. It encodes a strategic filter—roughly ten to fifteen focused applications in the 70–90% match band rather than dozens of generic submits. Triggers include phrases like analyze this job, match score, and should I apply. Outputs include prioritized experiences to highlight and culture-fit hints parsed from language in the post. It does not replace networking or portfolio proof, but it gives your agent a repeatable checklist so every application is a deliberate bet rather than lottery tickets.467installs9Cover Letter GeneratorCover-letter-generator is an agent skill for solo builders and operators who still sell themselves in job markets, partnerships, or grant applications and need more than a generic template. It turns an existing resume and a parsed job description into a short, structured application letter that shows company research, connects specific experience to explicit role needs, and answers why you, why now, and why here. The skill emphasizes authenticity: confident tone without arrogance, strategic framing of gaps, and context a resume bullet list cannot carry. Invoke it when the user names cover letters, application letters, or asks to write a letter for a job—ideally after requirements are already extracted from the posting. Outputs are ready-to-edit prose in standard business letter layout rather than markdown gimmicks, which makes handoff to email or PDF straightforward for indie founders juggling product work and career moves.465installs10Resume QuantifierResume Quantifier is an agent skill that helps solo builders and indie operators add credible numbers to resume bullets when exact dashboards never existed. It targets the common blocker—'I don’t have metrics'—by surfacing hidden counters in project work, suggesting conservative estimates, and structuring before/after comparisons across revenue, time saved, throughput, and satisfaction-style stats. The skill is procedural coaching rather than a template dump: the agent walks categories of measurability, rewrites vague lines, and keeps claims defensible. Use it when you are positioning for cofounders, clients, or employers while your product journey is in Validate or Launch, and again in Grow when you refresh collateral for speaking, hiring, or partnerships. It does not replace factual verification; you still own the underlying truth of every figure.454installs11Portfolio Case Study WriterPortfolio Case Study Writer is an agent skill that helps solo builders and job seekers turn résumé bullets into structured portfolio case studies. It follows a six-part narrative—overview, problem, process, solution, results, and learnings—so readers see how you thought, not only what shipped. The skill is aimed at anyone building a portfolio site, preparing work samples, or answering “case study” and “project writeup” requests for PM, UX, design, or engineering roles. Invoke it when you have outcomes on paper but need compelling stories that differentiate you from candidates who list tasks without context. It emphasizes hooks in the overview, appropriate technical detail, and read-time guidance so each piece works as a skim-friendly portfolio entry or a longer deep dive.453installs12Resume Section BuilderResume Section Builder is an agent skill that walks solo builders and job seekers through targeted resume sections instead of generic one-page advice. It applies when you need help with a specific block—professional summary, skills, experience, education, or extras—or when you are unsure what to include for your level. The skill encodes when to include or skip a summary, provides formulas by career stage from entry-level through senior and career-change paths, and explains how to structure skills and experience for scanning and ATS-friendly clarity. For indie builders, the same patterns support founder bios, advisor one-pagers, and contractor profiles where space and credibility matter. Invoke it while you are scoping how you present yourself before applications, fundraising decks, or partnership outreach, and again when you refresh materials after shipping products or changing focus.450installs13Academic Cv BuilderAcademic CV Builder is an agent skill that helps solo academics and indie researchers produce committee-ready curriculum vitae instead of shortened industry resumes. It activates when users mention academic CVs, faculty or postdoc searches, or updating publications, grants, and teaching records. The skill explains how academic CVs differ from resumes—often many pages, comprehensive scholarship history, and publication-forward structure—and walks through canonical sections from contact information through honors and professional memberships. It supports tailoring emphasis for tenure-track faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and teaching-focused lecturer tracks while keeping research, teaching, mentoring, and service in appropriate balance. Use it when you are packaging credentials for an application cycle or grant panel, not when you need ATS-optimized one-page tech resumes. The output is formatted narrative structure and section guidance your agent can fill from your existing notes and TeX or Word files. Complexity is beginner-friendly formatting and ordering; you still supply accurate citations and appointment dates.446installs14Salary Negotiation PrepSalary Negotiation Prep is an agent skill that walks solo and indie builders through researching fair market compensation, understanding full offer packages, and preparing structured counter-offers before tense money conversations. It is built for moments when you already have an offer or verbal range and need data-backed scripts instead of improvising in chat. The workflow separates a research phase (benchmarking role, level, and geography) from strategy (what to trade, what to hold firm on, and how to stay collaborative). It emphasizes that negotiation is normal budgeted behavior at employers, not adversarial haggling, while still covering difficult scenarios and total-comp math so you do not optimize base salary alone. Use it when triggers mention salary negotiation, counter offers, compensation breakdowns, or how much to ask for—whether you are joining a team, leveling up as a contractor, or comparing equity-heavy startup packages against cash-heavy alternatives.445installs15Resume Version ManagerResume Version Manager is an agent skill for builders who treat their career like a product with releases. It encodes a simple system: one expansive master resume holding every bullet you have ever written, plus disciplined tailored copies for each role or industry vertical. Solo developers often accumulate a dozen slightly different PDFs after fundraising, contracting, or job searches; this skill steers the agent toward consistent naming, folder layout, and a pull-from-master workflow whenever you customize. Primary placement is Grow → Lifecycle because maintaining your professional narrative is part of compounding opportunity, but it also helps in Validate when you are proving fit for a cofounder or enterprise pilot role, and in Idea when you are exploring which market story resonates. It is procedural, not a formatter—pair with your preferred LaTeX or DOCX pipeline. Beginner-friendly rules with intermediate discipline if you have years of overlapping versions to merge.442installs16Creative Portfolio ResumeCreative Portfolio Resume is an agent skill for solo builders in design, marketing, writing, and adjacent creative roles who must look polished without getting filtered out by applicant tracking systems. It explains the core dilemma—showing taste through layout while most applications are parsed by software—and recommends maintaining two deliberate variants: a conservative, ATS-friendly document for job boards and portals, and a designed resume for portfolio sites, events, and direct email to hiring managers. The skill walks through when each version is appropriate, how to connect resume bullets to portfolio work, and how far to push visual hierarchy before parsing fails. It is editorial and structural rather than a template generator, so your agent can critique drafts, suggest section order, and align messaging with a personal brand site. Expect practical tradeoffs, not universal design awards: the goal is interviews, not only aesthetics.439installs17Career Changer TranslatorCareer Changer Translator is an agent skill for solo and indie builders who are pivoting industries, client focus, or job targets and need their résumé and story to read native to the new field. It walks through identifying transferable capabilities, rewriting outcomes in the target domain’s vocabulary, and assembling a coherent change narrative that answers why now and why you. Use it when you mention career change, switching careers, transferable skills, pivoting, or moving into a new industry without direct titles on paper. The skill is procedural editorial work—not a job board or ATS scanner—so you still supply real roles, metrics, and constraints. It pairs well with reference preparation and broader career research when you are validating a new path before doubling down on a product or consulting positioning.438installs18Executive Resume WriterExecutive Resume Writer is an agent skill for builders and operators who occasionally need board- or investor-grade career documents, not a day-to-day coding helper. It activates when someone is pursuing C-suite, VP, or Director roles, has deep senior leadership tenure, or asks for executive resume, board, or executive-search formatting. The skill reframes resumes from keyword-heavy ATS lists into leadership narratives that show strategic impact, business transformation, and P&L ownership. It documents how executive resumes differ from standard ones—length, tone, sections like Career Highlights and Board roles—and guides formatting for executive recruiters. Prism catalogs it under Grow for personal positioning content that complements distribution work. Complexity is intermediate because it assumes substantial career history to synthesize. It does not replace legal or HR counsel for employment claims.435installs19Offer Comparison AnalyzerOffer Comparison Analyzer is an agent skill that turns messy, incomparable job offers into a systematic total-compensation and values-weighted comparison. It is built for solo and indie builders who may be deciding between a W-2 role and continuing to ship their own product, or choosing among several employers with different pay mixes. Invoke it when you already have multiple written offers and need a data-backed view of cash, equity, vesting, bonuses, and non-monetary factors rather than gut feel. The skill walks through a total compensation calculator, career growth and work-life dimensions, risk, and alignment with what you care about—so the output supports a clear go/no-go per offer. It does not replace legal or tax advice on equity; it organizes what you know into comparable numbers and tradeoffs. Use it after offers are in hand and before you negotiate or accept.434installs20Reference List BuilderReference List Builder is an agent skill that helps solo builders and job-seeking founders prepare the reference package recruiters and background vendors expect at the finish line of a hire or serious contract process. It guides who to ask, how to order contacts for maximum credibility, how to format names and relationships cleanly, and how to brief referees so answers stay consistent with your résumé narrative. Use it when you mention references, reference lists, reference checks, or preparing materials for applications that are already in motion. The skill is operational and etiquette-focused—it does not substitute for legal background checks or automated HR systems. Run it after your story and bullets are stable, typically alongside career-change translation if you pivoted industries, so every referrer speaks the same targeted language.433installs
