What it does

Once installed, the agent helps a designer write a resume that explains their judgment, contributions and outcomes in plain, readable text, rather than generic buzzwords. It asks which design discipline and level you target, what you personally owned, and which work samples you can share, then writes bullets that lead with the problem and result. It is also instructed to refuse to invent facts, personas, usability tests or metrics, and to flag where claims need more context, such as small sample sizes or prototype-only work.

Great for

  • Product, UX/UI, research or service designers preparing a job application
  • Designers with a private portfolio or redacted client work who need resume text that does not require public links
  • Career changers who need to show design contribution honestly without overstating expertise in every discipline

Skip it if

  • People who want fabricated or inflated achievements; the skill declines those requests and offers truthful alternatives instead
  • Writing a long-form portfolio case study, which the skill itself redirects to a separate portfolio-case-study skill
  • Guaranteed hiring outcomes or ATS scores; the skill explicitly does not produce these

Try asking

  • “Draft a UX designer resume from my notes on a prototype flow I reworked after five usability sessions.”
  • “Rewrite my experience bullets so they lead with the design problem and my specific contribution.”
  • “Help me describe my user research role honestly, including method and synthesis, for a senior researcher application.”
  • “Review my resume's accessibility claims and suggest precise wording for what was actually audited.”

Get better results

  • Provide concrete facts first: role, dates, tools, participant counts, and whether work shipped or stayed a prototype.
  • Share a private portfolio or redacted samples instead of public links if client work is confidential; the skill does not require public access.
  • Optionally install portfolio-case-study or resume-tailor for longer narratives or job-specific tailoring; this skill works on its own.
