## What it 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.
