What tech-resume-optimizer does

This skill establishes an opinionated blueprint for engineering resumes across SWE, DevOps, data, and PM paths. It guides you to rewrite bullet points using a structured formula: start with an action verb, state the technical challenge, list the tools, and present concrete metrics. Vague project descriptions get replaced with measurable outcomes.

The guidance enforces formatting designed for both recruiters and automated screening software. Visual skill bars and percentage meters break ATS parsers, so the skill strips them in favor of flat keyword inventories or categorized toolsets. It also defines contact requirements, making code repository links mandatory for programming roles while discarding physical addresses and photos.

What it helps with

  • rewrite work history bullets with quantified latency and scale metrics
  • format technical skill inventories to pass automated ATS parsers
  • remove graphical rating meters that break resume parsing tools
  • structure portfolio projects for career changers and junior engineers

Example prompts for the agent

  • Review my backend developer experience bullets and add measurable scale metrics.
  • Format my cloud and database skills section for an ATS-friendly DevOps application.
  • Help me structure the projects section for an entry-level software engineer resume.

It supports software engineers, site reliability engineers, data specialists, and technical product managers. The guidelines include targeted metrics for transaction volume, system uptime, and cloud bill reduction.
