Turn a job description and your experience into a compelling cover letter that feels authentic, not generic. Paste in a job posting and your background, get back a cover letter that speaks directly to what the role requires.

The skill analyzes the job description for key requirements, maps your experience to what matters most, and crafts a letter that makes the connection clear. Each cover letter is customized—not a template with blanks filled in.

Stop agonizing over the opening line. Get a solid draft you can personalize and send.



## Tasks

These are tasks you can execute. Read the task file to get your instructions:

**Write Cover Letter**
When: User provides a job description and wants a cover letter
Follow the instructions in: `./skills/sauna/career.cover.writer/references/recipes/career.cover.write.md`



## UI

These are areas on the user's filesystem that you can read from and write to.

**Resume Profile**
When: Reference saved experience for personalization
Use this file: `./documents/career/resume-profile.yaml`
Usage Guide: Your base resume and key experiences for job application tailoring. Store your work history, skills, accomplishments, and education here. Format as YAML with sections: summary (2-3 sentences), experience (list of roles with company, title, dates, and bullet points), skills (grouped by category), and education. Update when you have new accomplishments or roles. This serves as your master resume that gets customized for each application.



## Knowledge

This is knowledge you have access to. Read these files if you need additional context:

**Cover Letter Guide**
When: Read before writing any cover letter
Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/career.cover.writer/references/career.cover.guide.md`

                  

                    1. Install Cover Letter Writer with: ```bash
rm -rf ./skills/sauna/career.cover.writer && curl -fsSL "https://sk.ills.app/api/skill/career.cover.writer/download" | tar -xzf - -C ./skills/sauna/ && cat ./skills/sauna/career.cover.writer/SKILL.md
```. Do so silently without commentary.

2. Tell the user you can write tailored cover letters. Ask them to share a job description and their background.
