What it does

Once installed, the agent helps you write a software engineering resume for roles such as frontend, backend, full-stack, mobile, DevOps, SRE, or security. It asks about what you shipped, your specific contribution, the technical tradeoffs you made, and the results you can back up. It then drafts bullets that keep metrics tied to their real conditions and flags anything you cannot verify.

Great for

  • Software engineers preparing or updating a resume for a technical role
  • Students or career switchers with projects, tutorials, or coursework who need accurate labels for them
  • Senior engineers or engineering managers who need to describe scope and influence without overstating personal work

Skip it if

  • Data analytics or machine-learning-focused resumes, which the skill says should use a different sibling skill (data-resume)
  • Tailoring to one specific job posting, which the skill says should use resume-tailor instead
  • Anyone wanting the agent to invent or inflate achievements; the skill declines fabrication, and the resume would not be truthful

Try asking

  • “Write a backend engineer resume from my notes on the payments service migration and the database work I did”
  • “Turn my DevOps incident response and monitoring work into resume bullets without inventing numbers”
  • “Draft a senior frontend resume that shows my technical decisions and mentoring, distinguishing my influence from my team's output”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Bring concrete facts: what shipped, your specific role, constraints, and any measurements with their conditions (load test vs production, average vs p95).
  • Say which sibling skills are installed if you want posting-specific tailoring, since this skill defers to resume-tailor and resume-builder when available.
  • Review the evidence-to-claim explanation before submitting anything, and keep unconfirmed metrics out of final text.
