CV Chap Chap resume skill for Claude
A Claude skill that helps you write a resume or CV from your real details, with the US resume rules built in (one page, US Letter, no photo, no references, bullet points that start with a verb). It works on its own, and with the free CV Chap Chap connector it can also check your resume against real rules, suggest a design and open the finished resume in the CV Chap Chap builder.
It never invents jobs, dates, numbers or skills: it asks, and leaves out what you do not give it.
What is inside
cv-chap-chap/SKILL.md: the skill. The same file is served at https://www.cvchapchap.com/.well-known/agent-skills/cv-chap-chap/SKILL.md.
Install in Claude (claude.ai and the desktop app)
- Download this repository as a ZIP (Code, then Download ZIP) and unzip it.
- Zip the
cv-chap-chapfolder on its own. - In Claude, open Settings, then Capabilities, and upload that ZIP under Skills. Skills need code execution turned on.
