Cv Maker — Development skill for Claude Code

CV-maker - a Claude skill for job applications

A [Claude skill](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview) that walks you through one job application end to end: from the job posting to a tailored CV, an optional cover letter, and interview readiness.

Unlike "write me a resume" prompts, it is **decision-driven**: it analyzes the role and the employer, runs a gap analysis against your profile, and tells you directly whether applying is worth it - before writing anything.

What it does

Step	What happens
1. Intake	Collects the job posting, your existing CV/LinkedIn, deadline, country
2. Analysis	Job requirements (must-have vs nice-to-have), profession norms, employer research (facts vs inferences), gap analysis
3. Briefing & advice	Short summary + honest fit assessment -> you decide: apply or not
4. Missing data	Asks only for what is missing, with a focus on numbers and results
5. CV drafting	Proposes structure + design, builds a tailored, ATS-friendly CV as a file, revises until it fits
6. Approval	Locks the final version (.pdf)
6A. Cover letter	Optional, consistent with the CV
7. Interview prep	Role-specific questions, STAR answers, weak-spot handling, mock interview
8. Readiness check	Direct verdict; up to 3 practice rounds
