SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-docx, pdfplumber, reportlab, trafilatura, pyyaml, streamlit, plotly, pyperclip, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Neurodivergent job-seekers face screening bias in both ATS software and human review, from soft-skills-coded vocabulary to employment-gap framing. This Skill audits, writes, and tailors resumes and cover letters while flagging ten documented ND-bias patterns, checking ATS safety, and coaching disclosure decisions — all locally, with no telemetry. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Resume review and bias scanning: audits an existing resume against a ten-pattern ND-bias catalog, ATS rules, document-integrity checks, and an AI-signal detector, returning a plain-language coaching report. - Authoring workflows: create a resume from scratch, edit an existing one, tailor it to a specific job description, generate a matched cover letter, and translate experience for a career change using four ATS-safe resume templates. - Disclosure coaching and tracking: a six-factor decision framework records a per-candidate disclosure stance that downstream workflows apply automatically, plus a local SQLite application tracker and Streamlit dashboard. - Use Case: A neurodivergent candidate pastes their resume and a job description; the skill flags bias risks, tailors the resume to the JD, drafts a matching cover letter, and logs the application in the local tracker. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to review your resume for ND-bias risks and ATS issues, or run the /brains-review command with the path to your resume file.

Frequently Asked Questions about brains-resume

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review my resume for bias and ATS issues?

Paste your resume content or run /brains-review with the file path. The skill loads the review workflow, runs the deterministic bias and ATS validators, and returns a plain-language coaching report with per-finding rewrite suggestions.

How do I tailor a resume to a specific job description?

Run /brains-tailor with your resume and the job description. The workflow adapts the resume to the role, reports keyword coverage, applies your recorded disclosure preference, and saves the output as a DOCX with a traceable artifact UID.

What resume templates does the skill support?

Four ATS-safe resume templates ship with the skill: chronological, functional, hybrid, and executive, plus formal-business and modern-clean cover-letter templates. The skill walks you through template selection during create, edit, or tailor workflows.

Does the skill send my resume data anywhere?

No. All persisted state stays local: the SQLite tracker, profile, and output files live under ~/.brains-resume/. There is no telemetry, analytics, or outbound network activity beyond the Claude conversation itself.

Can I use the skill on claude.ai instead of Claude Code?

Yes. A ready-to-import Claude Project bundle is provided at dist/brains-resume-claude-project.zip with setup instructions in docs/claude-project-setup.md. The local tracker and dashboard features require Claude Code since they persist local files.

What are the limitations of the bias scanner?

The deterministic validator detects five of the ten bias patterns by keyword and regex. The remaining five require Claude-side contextual judgment on document structure and authorship, so the validator output is a first-pass backstop, not a complete review.
