Free Claude skills that run your job search like a system

Ten skills

Ten skills, and what each one does for you

Each skill does one job. Every skill reads what the others saved, so each application makes the next one sharper. Here they are in the order a search runs.

1. 1

   Set up

   Setup · jh-intake

   Start with a tested system

   Asks the setup questions two or three at a time, helps you choose where your records live, runs a save test, builds your profile and plans your first week.

   What you get: A profile, a tested records folder and a plan for your first seven days.

   Try saying: “Set up my job hunt kit.”

   Your benefitYou start organized, not from a pile of chats.

   Records · jh-records

   Every file in one place

   Decides where each fact goes and saves it safely: read the file, edit it, write it, read it back, and keep the old copy until the new one checks out. Runs behind the other skills.

   What you get: An index of your search, one file per company, a sent ledger, a claims register and a save receipt after every session.

   Try saying: “Log this application.”

   Your benefitYou never lose work or end up with two resumes that disagree.

2. 2

   Prove it

   Career bank · jh-experience-bank

   Every result, with proof

   Interviews you about your career one role at a time and files each story and number with a tag: verified, from your own records, or still to confirm. Unproven numbers stay out of written documents.

   What you get: A growing bank of stories and results, plus a to-confirm list.

   Try saying: “Interview me about my career.”

   Your benefitYou walk into any room with numbers you can defend.

   Resume scoring · jh-resume-signals

   Know your score first

   Builds a file of what hiring readers expect for your target role from real postings and strong profiles, turns it into a weighted rubric, scores each resume version and checks that applicant tracking systems can read it. Code does the math.

   What you get: A score out of 100 and fixes ranked by points gained per effort. 85 or higher means interview-ready.

   Try saying: “Score my resume for my target role.”

   Your benefitYou fix the gaps before a recruiter finds them.

3. 3

   Aim

   Posting analysis · jh-jd-analysis

   Skip the wrong jobs

   Reads a posting against your resume, your experience bank and the job you said you want. Scores the fit, reads the real scope, level, company and posted pay, then makes a call: apply, adapt first or skip. A dealbreaker caps the call at skip.

   What you get: A fit score, strengths, gaps, which resume to send, where to apply and a clear call.

   Try saying: “Should I apply to this?”

   Christine Castro's public hiring tools inspired the scope read. This kit rewrites those ideas in its own words with its own scoring.

   Your benefitYou spend evenings on roles that fit.

   Resume versions · jh-resume-versions

   One resume per target

   Builds a resume for each kind of role you target, numbers every version, logs what changed and tracks which company holds which copy. Before a screen, it shows what's on their copy and what has changed since.

   What you get: Numbered versions in Word and PDF, word-level diffs, a changelog and a sent ledger.

   Try saying: “Tailor my resume for this posting.”

   Your benefitYou never quote a stale number on a live call.

4. 4

   Apply

   Cover letters · jh-cover-letter

   Letters with a point

   Finds a dated, recent fact about the company for the opening, matches proof from your bank to how that company works and names any gap plainly. Scores each draft on seven criteria in code and revises anything under 90.

   What you get: A letter of about 275 words in your voice, a claims table, a score with reasons and a filed copy.

   Try saying: “Write a letter for this role.”

   Your benefitEach letter earns a read.

   Voice check · jh-voice-check

   Sounds like you

   Builds a voice profile from things you wrote, scans every draft for phrasing that reads machine-written, and shows each hit with the reason and a rewrite. Runs behind the other writing skills and on its own.

   What you get: A cleaner draft plus a table of what changed and why.

   Try saying: “Does this sound like AI?”

   Your benefitYour writing sounds like you, and you learn which habits to drop.

5. 5

   Follow through

   Inbox watch · jh-inbox-watch

   Never miss a reply

   Scans your inbox, sent mail and LinkedIn notification emails three ways, on demand or, on Pro or Max, as a scheduled task twice a weekday. Logs acknowledgements, applicant tracking systems and screening questions, flags likely scams and drafts replies with interview times from your calendar.

   What you get: A short digest, updated statuses and draft replies you review and send.

   Try saying: “Check my inbox for job mail.”

   Your benefitNothing slips past you, and nothing gets sent for you.

   Interview dossier · jh-interview-dossier

   Walk in ready

   Before every interview, recruiter screen included, reads your records, researches the company, the role and each named interviewer, dates every source and sizes the dossier to the round.

   What you get: Findings you can check in 90 seconds, interviewer studies, talking points with proof, questions with speakable replies, landmines to avoid and a one-page call sheet.

   Try saying: “Prep me for Thursday.”

   Your benefitYou ask better questions than the other candidates.
