# Job Application Skill
This skill tailors a CV and cover letter to a specific job description — optimising for ATS keyword matching while keeping the writing human and compelling. It also flags gaps between the candidate's profile and the role requirements.
## Required Inputs
Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked *(assumed, confirm)* and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).
- **Job description** (paste in full)
- **Current CV / resume** (paste or describe key experience, roles, and skills)
- **The specific thing that excites them about this role** (used in the cover letter — must be genuine)
- **Any particular strengths to emphasise** (optional)
- **Any gaps they're worried about** (optional — helps address them proactively)
