## What it does

The skill sorts a posting’s requirements into essential and preferred categories, then compares them with the experience you provide. It can point out strengths and gaps, flag wording that may signal problems, and suggest what to emphasize in a resume or cover letter.

Its score gives essential requirements 70% of the weight and preferred ones 30%. The output also includes application guidance. The comparison depends on details about your background, so give Claude Code relevant experience to assess.
