What it does
This skill teaches an AI agent to help technical writers, documentation engineers, API writers and knowledge managers write their resumes. Once installed, the agent asks about the readers, products and document types you worked on, then turns your real experience into clear resume bullets. It is built to avoid inflated claims: it will not invent numbers, claim validation that did not happen, or present shared work as solo authorship.
Great for
- Technical writers and documentation engineers preparing a resume
- API or developer-documentation writers who want their examples and tooling described accurately
- Knowledge managers and people in regulated or industrial writing who need careful wording about approval authority
Skip it if
- Marketing or promotional copy, which the skill points you to a different skill for (marketing-resume) because it is not its focus
- Users who want the agent to fabricate metrics or ticket reductions; the skill declines these claims by design
- Anyone expecting guaranteed ATS scores or interviews; the skill explicitly does not promise them
Try asking
- “Help me write a technical writer resume from my notes on the API authentication guide I rewrote last year.”
- “Turn my documentation engineering work (build pipeline, versioning, validation) into resume bullets.”
- “Review this resume draft and check that my tools and authorship claims match what I actually did.”
- “Suggest which of my writing samples fit a developer-documentation role.”

Get better results
- Bring concrete facts: products, audiences, document types, tools and what you personally wrote versus edited or reviewed.
- Share only samples that are permitted to be shared; the skill respects confidentiality and will not imply sole authorship of collaborative work.
- Provide any measured outcomes you have; if you have none, the skill will keep bullets to what was done rather than inventing results.
