How to use the Finance Resume Writer agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The finance-resume skill is a set of instructions that teaches an AI agent to write resumes for accounting, audit, FP&A, treasury, banking and investment roles. This guide explains what the skill changes about the agent's behaviour, how to install it, how to ask for help in plain language, and what limits to expect. By the end you will be able to install the skill and get a resume draft in which numbers, currencies, periods and deal stages are clearly labelled.

What the finance-resume skill makes the agent do
An agent skill is a folder containing instructions (in this case a single SKILL.md file) that the agent reads when a request matches the skill's purpose. This skill tells the agent how to write a financial career record that a reader can interpret without guessing where the numbers came from.
The skill asks for your target role, level and jurisdiction, then asks for your responsibilities, analysis, decisions, systems and qualifications. It organises evidence by track: accounting or controllership, FP&A, audit and controls, treasury, and banking or investments.
- Keeps currency, period and basis clear, so revenue, profit, assets, budget and transaction value are not treated as the same thing.
- Separates an analysis, a recommendation, an approved plan and a realised result. A modelled saving is not described as money already saved.
- States your part in a deal and uses the correct status: announced, signed and closed are different.
- Keeps credential status exact. Exams passed, candidacy, training, certification and active licensure are described separately.
- Declines invented or inflated claims and offers the strongest truthful version instead.
Install the finance-resume skill
Download the ZIP for the skill from this page. The skill is published under the MIT licence and the package contains SKILL.md.
Option 1: unzip it into your personal skills folder, ~/.claude/skills/. Option 2: unzip it into a project's .claude/skills/ folder so it applies only to that project.
Option 3: upload the skill in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
~/.claude/skills/Trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. Describe what you need in plain language and mention the finance role or track. Include your target role, level and jurisdiction in the first message if you can, because the skill asks for these before drafting.
If you already have a resume, paste the relevant section and say which role you are applying for. The skill treats pasted documents as data to work from, not as instructions.
- Help me write an audit resume for a senior associate role in the UK. I worked on controls testing for two years.
- Rewrite my treasury experience for an FP&A application. Keep every number labelled with its period and currency.
- Review this banking bullet for accuracy. I was on the deal team but did not lead it.
Give the skill the evidence it needs
The skill writes from your evidence. It will not fill gaps with numbers from examples. Expect questions about scope, decisions, systems, qualifications and the basis of any figure you want to use.
For confidential client or deal matters, use approved aggregates or anonymised descriptions. The skill asks about disclosure limits, but you remain responsible for what you share.
- Tell it the currency, period and whether a figure is actual, budgeted, forecast or modelled.
- Tell it your exact job title and your real role in each piece of work.
- State your credential status precisely, for example exam passed, candidate, or licensed.
Read the output and check it
The skill returns resume text or the requested revision, calculation notes where relevant, and a list of unresolved factual questions. Treat those questions as a checklist before you use the resume.
The skill is designed to keep wording tied to what you supplied. Check figures, units, periods, confidentiality and qualification status yourself before sending anything.
Safety notes: scripts and network access
The skill metadata lists no required tools, it does not run scripts, and it does not use the network. Its only file is SKILL.md.
The skill instructs the agent not to send private financial records or personal details to search engines or outside scanners, and not to submit applications or contact counterparties. If you connect a saved resume record, the agent must show concrete edits and get your authorisation first.
- Do not paste client names, deal terms or other confidential data you are not allowed to disclose.
- Use the skill for drafting. Submitting applications remains your job.
What people use it for
- Writing an audit or controls resume that describes assigned scope, testing and remediation without implying an independent audit opinion.
- Turning FP&A work into bullets that separate forecast assumptions from results.
- Describing treasury or reconciliation work with approximations preserved, such as a time saving that was estimated rather than measured.
- Preparing a banking or investment resume that states whether a deal was announced, signed or closed and what your contribution was.
- Checking a career-change resume so that certifications in progress are not presented as completed credentials.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you are preparing or revising a finance, accounting, audit, treasury or banking resume and want every number, period and deal status labelled so it holds up in interviews. Pick something else if you want an agent to invent achievements, polish a resume with inflated figures, or get investment or licensing advice.
