Claude Resume Kit is a free, open-source (MIT) set of Claude Code commands that writes a tailored resume, CV and cover letter for each job post. Instead of rewriting a pasted resume, it draws on a knowledge base you build once from your own papers, reports and projects.

Here's what it does, how to set it up, the commands, and the catches.

What it does

  • Every achievement is tagged published, under review or internal, so the resume can't quietly upgrade your status.
  • Verb rules stop overclaiming, for example turning "contributed to" into "developed".
  • A corrections log keeps a fixed error from coming back.
  • /critique has five reader personas, from an ATS bot to a technical reviewer, score the result on eight dimensions in a fresh context.
  • Output is LaTeX that you compile on your own machine.
