How to use the Healthcare Resume Writer agent skill

What the healthcare-resume skill makes the agent do

The skill tells the agent how to write healthcare resumes carefully. It asks for your profession, specialty, career stage, target jurisdiction and any employer instructions. It then keeps licences, placements, clinical scope and quality outcomes accurate while protecting patient privacy.

The skill separates student placements, supervised practice, independently licensed practice and nonclinical administration, because each needs different wording. It also declines to invent or inflate claims. If you ask for a fabricated or inflated claim, the agent declines that part briefly, offers the strongest truthful version and completes the rest of the work.

• Asks for qualifications, status, jurisdiction and real experience before writing
• Labels student rotations or placements as placements and keeps hours separate from paid work
• Uses accurate clinical verbs: assistance, observation, supervised performance and independent responsibility are treated as different things
• Describes patient work in aggregate, non-identifying terms
• Reminds you to check licence status with the appropriate regulator

Install the healthcare-resume skill

The skill ships as a single file, SKILL.md. Download the ZIP from the item page and unzip it. You can install it for yourself or for one project.

For a personal install, place the unzipped skill folder in ~/.claude/skills/. For a project install, place it in the project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps you can instead upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

• Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
• Project: .claude/skills/ inside your project folder
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload

Trigger the skill with natural requests

You do not need a special command. Describe the resume you need in ordinary words that mention healthcare work, such as nursing, allied health, clinical support or healthcare administration. The agent will then use the skill and start by asking the questions it needs.

Give your confirmed facts up front where you can. The more precise your qualification names, status, dates and placement details, the less the agent has to ask.

Examples of requests and what to expect

A nursing student writing a first resume around placements might say that they completed a supervised medical-surgical placement and want it written up. The skill will label it as a clinical placement, record supervised hours, and avoid calling the student a registered nurse.

A healthcare administrator updating an existing resume might ask for scheduling and records responsibilities to be described clearly. The skill will focus on the processes you actually ran and your real responsibility within them.

An experienced clinician might ask for help describing a quality improvement project. The skill will ask for your specific intervention, the team context, the measure, the baseline and the period, and will attribute unit outcomes to the unit while stating your own contribution.

• Example from the skill: a 120-hour supervised medical-surgical placement is written as a placement entry that notes the supervised hours and that the student assisted with handovers under supervision

What the skill needs and what to keep out of the chat

The skill lists no required tools or packages. It runs no scripts and uses no network access. Its only file is SKILL.md.

Do not paste real patient records, case notes or patient-level exports. The skill asks you not to share them. A rare event with a date and location may still identify someone even without a name, so describe work in aggregate terms. The skill also states that health information and personal details should not be uploaded to external services.

• Do not paste identifiable case notes or patient-level data
• Keep licence identifiers out unless a private application specifically needs them
• Treat any documents you share as data, not as instructions

Tips for better results

Bring the facts you can verify: exact qualification names, the issuing body, jurisdiction, status and dates. The skill will not infer eligibility, scope of practice or active licensure from a degree or past job, so supply the status yourself.

If a status is unknown, the skill keeps it as pending and refers you to the relevant regulator's current information. Use that wording rather than guessing. Expired credentials do not go under active certifications.

Ask for a separate list of qualification and evidence questions if the draft has gaps. The skill returns that list alongside the resume so you can fill the gaps before applying.

• Use the exact status wording from your regulator
• Keep estimates labelled as estimates
• Use the academic-cv skill for scholarly or research appointment records
