- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Resume and cover letter in a single skill: regional formats (AU/NZ–US–UK — length conventions, visa mentions, references), the CAR method for achievement bullets, ATS rules (no tables, keyword matching), special cases (career gaps, career change, over/under-qualified), and tone tuned to the type of company you're applying to. Practical recruiter-facing detail rather than generic advice. Discovered via skills.sh. Honest note: Australian author — expect "optimised" spelling; content is English-only. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Install
Prerequisites: none beyond standard skill tooling — no external services or APIs. You bring your work history and the job you're targeting. Install "Resume and Cover Letter Writer Skill for Muse" for me. Resume + cover letter in one skill: regional formats (AU/NZ–US–UK), CAR achievement bullets, ATS rules, special cases (gaps, career change), company-matched tone. Repository: https://github.com/jezweb/claude-skills/blob/main/plugins/writing/skills/resume-cover-letter/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "resume-cover-letter". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. share my current resume, the target job posting, and which regional format I want; fix any "optimised"-style spelling myself). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
