## Description

Tailors one resume to one specific job posting. Builds a must-have/nice-to-have requirement table, an evidence map, gap questions instead of invention, a tailored copy (headline, summary, bullet order, skills), honest ATS guidance, and an optional cover letter for that posting. Use when the user says "tailor my resume to this job", "customize my CV for this posting", "match my resume to this job description", "what keywords am I missing", "make my resume ATS-friendly for this role", "will this get past the ATS", "the job asks for X and I don't have it", or pastes a job ad with a resume. Works from pasted text; uses Reactive Resume MCP tools when connected. Not for bullets with no target job (resume-bullet-writer), what belongs on a resume or a general audit (resume-content-guide), tracking or follow-ups (job-application-manager), or interview prep and practice (interview-prep, mock-interview).

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Resume Tailor

Tailor one resume to one job description (JD). The core artifact is a **requirement → evidence table**. It is close to what current screening tools (Workday HiredScore, Greenhouse Talent Matching, Ashby) build when they grade a candidate, and what a recruiter checks by eye. Tailoring changes **emphasis, order and wording**. It never changes facts.
