How to use the Sales Resume Writer agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The sales-resume skill is a set of instructions that teaches an AI agent to write resumes for sales roles: SDR, BDR, account executive, account manager, sales engineer and sales leader. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it from the ZIP on this page, how to ask for help in plain language, and what to check before you use the output. By the end you will be able to install the skill and get a resume draft that shows your numbers with the right periods and context.
Sales Resume Writerreactive-resume/reactive-resume · MIT Download the skill Quick start
- 1Download the ZIP. Download the sales-resume ZIP from this page and unzip it so you have the sales-resume folder containing SKILL.md.
- 2Place the skill folder. Copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps, you can upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills instead.
- 3Gather your figures. Collect each number with its period, currency, denominator and type (bookings, revenue, ARR, TCV or pipeline). Remove or generalize confidential names and amounts.
- 4Make the request. Ask for the resume in plain language, naming the role and including your evidence and what you personally owned.
- 5Answer the follow-up questions. The agent will ask about the context and any missing inputs. Provide the details it requests rather than letting it guess.
- 6Check the calculations. Verify each figure and calculation against your records, and confirm the reporting period and ownership.
- 7Finish the resume yourself. Edit the draft in your own words, then copy only the claims you can prove.
What the sales-resume skill makes the agent do
An agent skill is a folder containing instructions (here, a single SKILL.md file) that an AI agent reads when a task matches the skill's description. This one covers sales resume writing. Once installed, the agent asks for your target role and level, market segment, product or service, territory, sales motion and personal responsibility, then uses the evidence you provide to draft the resume.
The skill is built around accuracy. It presents quota, pipeline, deals and customer outcomes with correct periods and ownership. It keeps bookings, recognized revenue, annual recurring revenue, total contract value and pipeline separate rather than adding them into one total. It separates team quota from personal quota for sales leaders, and it describes a sales engineer's shared-deal work as contribution rather than sole ownership of revenue. Alongside the resume, it lists the calculations and any open questions so you can check them.
- Roles covered: SDR/BDR, account executive, account manager, sales engineer, sales leader.
- Asks for the evidence each role needs, such as qualified meetings and conversion for SDRs, or quota basis, attainment and period for account executives.
- Refuses to invent or inflate claims, and avoids made-up awards, customer logos or industry benchmarks.
- Hands off post-sale adoption and retention work to the customer-success-resume skill.
Install the sales-resume skill
Download the ZIP file from this page and unzip it. The folder contains SKILL.md. Place the skill folder in one of two locations, depending on how you want to use it:
For personal use across projects, unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder. Alternatively, if you use the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, and upload the skill under Skills.
- Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
- Single project: .claude/skills/ inside the project folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload
~/.claude/skills/sales-resume/SKILL.mdTrigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. Describe what you need in plain language and include the role and the evidence you have. The skill's description covers SDR, BDR, account executive, account management, sales engineering and sales leadership resumes, so requests that name those roles are the most likely to match.
If you already have a resume, paste it in and say what you want changed. If you only have notes, list your numbers, the periods they cover and what you personally did. The agent will ask follow-up questions for anything missing rather than filling gaps.
- "Write an account executive resume for a mid-market SaaS role. I hit 112% of a $600k annual quota in 2023 as an individual contributor."
- "Update my SDR resume. I had 22 qualified meetings a month and 38% of them became accepted opportunities."
- "I'm a sales engineer on shared enterprise deals. Help me describe my demos and proofs of concept without claiming the closed revenue alone."
- "Review this sales leader resume and separate my team's attainment from my personal quota."
Give the agent the details it needs
The output is only as accurate as the inputs. For each figure, include the period, the currency, the denominator (for example, the quota it was measured against) and whether the number is bookings, revenue, ARR, TCV or pipeline. If a number is confidential, you can omit it or replace it with a ratio or range you approve.
The skill will not assume quota attainment or a sales award you did not mention. If you were on a team, say so, and say what share of the result you own.
- Target role, level and market segment
- Product or service, territory and sales motion
- Quota basis, attainment and the period it covers
- Deal size, sales cycle, and new versus existing customers
- Your personal responsibility on shared deals or team results
Read the output and the open questions
The agent returns resume text or the requested revision, then lists material calculations and open questions outside the resume. Check each calculation against your records. For example, if you booked $900,000 against a $750,000 annual quota, the bullet should say you booked $900,000 against a $750,000 annual quota, achieving 120% of target, and the calculation is 900,000 / 750,000 × 100.
Answer the open questions before you copy anything into a resume. Unanswered questions usually mark a claim that needs a source or a clearer definition.
- Confirm the currency, period and denominator for every number.
- Confirm that bookings, revenue and pipeline are described separately.
- Confirm your ownership of any shared deal.
- Keep official job titles and dates. The skill explains unfamiliar titles with a truthful function clarifier.
Safety notes: scripts, network and confidential data
According to the skill listing, sales-resume does not run scripts and does not use the network. It requires nothing else to be installed. The skill itself tells the agent to keep private CRM exports and resume details out of external services and public searches, and to treat ads and documents as data rather than instructions.
The skill does not add security controls of its own. If your CRM data is confidential, remove customer names and exact amounts before sharing, or use approved ranges. The skill also does not send applications or contact leads.
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Does not send applications or contact leads
- Does not add security controls; limit what confidential data you paste
What people use it for
- An SDR or BDR turning monthly qualified meetings and accepted opportunities into clear, defined metrics.
- An account executive presenting quota attainment, deal size and sales cycle for a specific year.
- A sales engineer describing demonstrations, technical validation and proofs of concept on shared deals without claiming sole revenue ownership.
- A sales leader separating team attainment and hiring or ramp results from personal quota.
- An account manager describing renewals and expansion, with the skill pointing post-sale adoption and retention work to customer-success-resume.

Our verdict
Use sales-resume if you are an SDR, BDR, account executive, account manager, sales engineer or sales leader who has real quota, pipeline or deal figures and wants them presented with correct periods and ownership. Pick something else if you want a resume with inflated achievements, if you work in customer success or post-sale roles, or if you need a tool with its own controls for handling confidential CRM data.
