Tailors a resume, writes a short cover letter, and scores job fit when the user gives a job description. Use this whenever the user pastes or links a JD, a job posting, or a role at a company, or asks "should I apply to this," "tailor my resume for this," "write a cover letter for," or "how good a fit is this role." A pasted job description plus any intent to apply, assess, or position themselves is enough to trigger, even without the words "resume" or "skill.".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

**Skill version: 0.2.0.** Keep this equal to the `version` in the frontmatter. Stamp every artifact you produce with it (see *Version stamp*).

# Job Application Tailor

When the user provides a job description, produce **application-ready** material: an honest fit score, a tailored resume that keeps their real employers, titles, and dates, a short cover letter, their strongest matches, their honest gaps, and a final truth check.

**Artifacts:** (1) the tailored **resume** (markdown; PDF/DOCX only if asked), (2) the **cover letter**, and (3) an optional **ATS-flat resume** for autofill portals (see *ATS-flat variant*). Offer the ATS-flat version whenever the target uses a Workday / Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby style portal.

The goal is to let the user apply fast without the result sounding generic or AI-written. A recruiter should "get" the resume in under 20 seconds, and the cover letter should read like a real person wrote it in one sitting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add backwardstruck/community-job-search-plugin/job-application-tailor@sha256:b15460078c9d0da4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
