cover-letter
Write a specific, non-generic cover letter that connects your evidence to the role. Use when asked to write a cover letter, an application letter, or a note to accompany a resume. Produces a tight 3–4 paragraph letter — a real hook, two evidence paragraphs mapping your proof to the job's needs, and a confident close — tailored to the company, ready to export as a designed PDF.

# Cover Letter Skill
Most cover letters are throat-clearing the reader skips. A good one does one job: connect *your specific
evidence* to *this company's specific need*, in a voice that sounds like a person. This skill writes a
tight, tailored letter — no "I am writing to apply for…", no restating the resume — that earns the read.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **The role & company** — and the job description (the letter must be specific to it).
- **Why this company** — something genuine: their product, mission, a recent move (avoids generic flattery).
- **Your 2–3 strongest, most relevant proofs** — the achievements that map to what they need.
- **Tone** — warm-professional (default), or more formal/creative per the company's culture.
