Cv Review Skill — Development skill for Claude Code

CV review skill

A Claude skill that reads a CV like Karmen and includes insights from other tech recruiters.

Built at //kood for students and alumni applying to tech roles. It works on any CV, and it knows how to frame a //kood background for recruiters who have never heard of the school.

What it does

• At first it runs the 30-second test on the whole page, not line by line.
• Then it walks the CV section by section against a rubric: header, title, summary, experience, skills, education, projects, length, keyword match.
• Names the fixes in priority order, quotes your own lines back, and shows the pattern to rewrite them with.
• Matches the CV against a specific job posting, both the technical requirements and the behavioural ones.
• You can use the skill to improve cover letter or CV. Make sure you share enough context to give accurate suggestions.

Install

Pick the tool you use.

Claude.ai or the Claude desktop app

Works on every plan, including Free.

1. Download cv-review.zip. Keep it zipped.
2. In Claude, open Settings > Capabilities and turn on Code execution and file creation. Skills need it.
3. Open Customize > Skills, click +, then Create skill, then Upload a skill, and pick cv-review.zip.

That's it. Start a new chat and share your CV.

Use the zip from the link above, not GitHub's green **Code > Download ZIP** button. That one has a folder called `cv-review-skill-main` inside, and Claude needs the folder name to match the skill's name, `cv-review`.

Claude Code

Type these two commands into Claude Code, one at a time:

/plugin marketplace add karmenti/cv-review-skill

/plugin install cv-review@cv-review-skill

The first tells Claude Code where to find the skill. The second installs it. If the skill doesn't show up right away, restart Claude Code.

To check it worked, type `/cv-review` and look for it in
