1Resume Ats Optimizerresume-ats-optimizer is an agent skill for improving resumes so Applicant Tracking Systems can parse them and rank keyword relevance against job descriptions. It explains why many resumes never reach humans, citing common ATS failure modes such as tables, headers, image-only text, nonstandard section names, and missing exact keywords. The skill walks through a compatibility checklist covering file format, fonts, section headers, and contact placement, then runs a keyword workflow that extracts hard skills, soft skills, and industry terms from a posting. It scores match percentage, flags missing critical phrases, and recommends natural placement in summary, skills, and experience bullets without keyword stuffing. Analysis output follows a structured ATS compatibility report with overall score, formatting issues, keyword tables, and estimated score after fixes. Industry notes cover tech, business, healthcare, and marketing resumes, plus edge cases for career changers and recent graduates who need target-industry phrasing.2.6kinstalls2Linkedin Profile OptimizerLinkedIn Profile Optimizer improves profile searchability, recruiter visibility, and engagement across headline, About, Experience, Skills, Featured, and Recommendations sections. It contrasts resume versus LinkedIn tone, length, and keyword strategy, noting LinkedIn allows unlimited length and broader industry keywords. Headline guidance uses a role, expertise, and value formula within two hundred twenty characters with recruiter search terms. About sections follow hook, achievements, skills list, and call-to-action structure with a strong first line for preview truncation. Experience entries can be longer than resumes, include media, and show four to six achievement bullets. Skills strategy recommends filling all fifty slots, ordering by relevance, and securing endorsements for top three featured skills. The skill includes profile completeness checklists, recruiter visibility settings, keyword placement rules, and Featured section guidance for portfolio links, media, and recommendations requests. It also covers Featured and Recommendations best practices.2.4kinstalls3Cold Email WriterProvides cold-email-writer support for Claude Code development.

It teaches agents to spot weak patterns like responsible for managing team or helped with customer service and rewrite them with strong action verbs, measurable outcomes, and role-specific tailoring. Core frameworks include the Google X-Y-Z formula (Accomplished X as measured by Y by doing Z), STAR stories condensed for resume space, and CAR challenge-action-result structure. The skill documents banned weak verbs, metric types (percentages, dollar amounts, throughput), industry tailoring, and before/after examples across engineering, product, and operations roles. Agents learn to ask clarifying questions for missing numbers, preserve truthfulness, and format bullets for ATS readability. It triggers on improve my bullets, quantify achievements, make resume stronger, or when reviewing bullets that lack impact. The workflow covers diagnosis, metric extraction, verb upgrades, and final polish with one-line impact statements suitable for LinkedIn or PDF resumes.2.1kinstalls6Resume TailorUse this skill when the
