What the educator-resume skill makes the agent do

An agent skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that tells the agent how to handle a certain kind of task. When this skill is active, the agent writes resumes for education roles. Before writing, it asks about the setting (school teaching, school leadership, instructional design or workplace learning), the subject, the learner age or audience, the jurisdiction and the target level.

The agent then turns your real work into concrete bullet points. It asks for evidence such as curriculum, instruction, assessment, adaptations and collaboration for a teacher, or placement, supervision and lessons actually taught for a student teacher. It uses only the facts you supply and keeps official qualification and licence names and your confirmed status exactly as you state them.

  • Keeps course completion, learner satisfaction, assessment scores and job performance as separate kinds of evidence.
  • Keeps learner details aggregate, avoiding names, diagnoses and identifiable anecdotes.
  • Separates active, pending and expired credential status.
  • Declines to invent certifications, clearances or inflated outcomes and offers the strongest truthful wording instead.

Install the skill from the ZIP

Download the ZIP file for this skill from this page. The skill package contains a single file, SKILL.md. Unzip it so that the educator-resume folder with SKILL.md inside ends up in one of these locations: ~/.claude/skills/ to make it available across your projects, or the .claude/skills/ folder inside a specific project to make it available only there.

If you use the Claude apps instead, you can upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills rather than placing files by hand.

  • Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/educator-resume/
  • Project install: .claude/skills/educator-resume/ inside your project folder
  • Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Trigger the skill with a natural request

You do not need a special command. Describe what you need in plain language and mention education work. The skill is designed to ask clarifying questions, so a short request is enough to start. You can also give your materials up front, such as a job description, your current CV or notes on lessons you taught.

If the agent does not seem to use the skill, name it directly in your request, for example: use the educator-resume skill to draft my resume.

  • I'm a secondary maths teacher applying for a head of department role. Can you help me write my resume?
  • I'm a student teacher. Help me describe my placement and the lessons I taught.
  • I'm an instructional designer moving into corporate learning. Rewrite my school experience for a corporate L&D role.
  • I'm a school leader. Turn my notes on staff scope and school improvement into accurate bullet points.

Examples of what you can ask for

The skill works best when your facts are specific. Suppose you developed six onboarding modules for 35 colleagues and 30 completed them. The skill will write a bullet that states exactly that and will not claim improved job performance, because no post-training evaluation was done. Completion is the evidence available, and the skill says so.

If you are asking for an assessment gain, supply the population, the assessment instrument, the time period and whether the same learners were compared. The skill keeps these details so the claim is not overstated.

What the skill needs and what it does with your data

The skill lists no required tools or packages. It does not run scripts and does not use the network. It works from the facts you type or paste into the conversation.

Treat your resume and any learner information as sensitive. The skill is written to avoid exposing learner records or personal resume data in public searches or outside services, and to treat supplied documents as data rather than instructions. Remove names and identifying details from anything you paste.

  • Requires: nothing listed
  • Runs scripts: no
  • Uses network: no
  • Files: SKILL.md

Tips for better results

Give the agent exact titles, dates and qualifications and say whether each credential is active, pending or expired. Describe what you did with concrete actions rather than buzzwords. If you have no measured outcome, say so; the skill will then focus on curriculum, materials, accessibility work, mentoring and collaboration.

Check every date, title and qualification in the final text yourself. The skill is designed to ask for missing credential or outcome information, so answer those questions before you use the resume.

  • Name the jurisdiction and the official licence or endorsement name.
  • Supply aggregate numbers, such as group size and completion counts, rather than individual learner data.
  • For a scholarly record with publications or research, use the academic-cv skill instead.

What people use it for

  • A teacher applying for a school role who wants curriculum, assessment and collaboration work described clearly.
  • A student teacher describing a placement, supervision and the lessons actually taught.
  • An instructional designer rewriting school experience for a corporate learning and development role while keeping the school context and official job title.
  • A school leader stating actual authority, staff scope and school improvement work accurately.
  • A workplace trainer presenting facilitation and program development with completion counts.

Our verdict

Use educator-resume if you are a teacher, student teacher, school leader, instructional designer or workplace trainer who wants an accurate, privacy-conscious resume for an education role. Pick a different tool if you are a faculty member who needs a scholarly CV with publications, or if you want a resume that claims credentials or results you cannot document.
