What is job-description-skill?

This project is a skill for Claude, meaning it is a set of instructions that teaches the AI assistant a specific structured task, in this case reading a job description and telling you whether you should apply for it. You give it the job posting text and your resume, and it produces a single, self contained HTML report you can open in your browser. Using it is meant to be simple: paste the job description, then provide your resume by uploading it, pasting your LinkedIn profile, or just giving a short self introduction if you do not have a resume ready. The skill then works through the job posting in the background and puts everything into one report. That report covers ten sections, including background on the company, an honest look at what the role actually involves versus what the posting says, a line by line comparison between the job's requirements and your resume, a list of gaps you should work on, reasons for and against applying, a salary reality check, a set of likely interview questions, and a six week action plan for applying and preparing. It opens with a short verdict and two visual scores: how well you match the role, and how likely you are to get an interview. You can export the finished report as a PDF or as a plain text markdown file. The project follows three stated rules: it always reads and understands the job description before comparing it to your resume, it never invents skills or experience you did not actually claim, and it handles one step at a time rather than mixing tasks together. It is part of a small family of related skills, alongside ones for building resumes and preparing behavioral interview answers, and is released under the MIT license, which allows free use, modification, and redistribution.
