Security Scan

The skill's stated purpose (resume/CV generation via CellCog) matches its instructions, but the SKILL.md references a 'cellcog' SDK/dependency and external service behavior without declaring required installation steps or credentials — this mismatch is worth clarifying before installing or granting access to sensitive resume data.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description and the instructions align: the skill is a wrapper that uses CellCog to generate resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn content, and output PDFs/DOCX. However, the SKILL.md lists a dependency on 'cellcog' (SDK) while the skill package declares no install spec, no required env vars, and no primary credential. That omission is plausible if the platform supplies the cellcog integration separately, but it is an inconsistency that should be clarified.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only usage examples calling CellCog client APIs (create_chat) and guidance on prompt content and modes. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files, scan unrelated environment variables, or exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints within the visible text. The instructions do mention file handling and output formats (PDF/DOCX), which implies file I/O but within the scope of resume generation.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — low install risk. There are no downloads, package installs, or archive extracts in the skill itself.

Credentials

No environment variables, API keys, or credentials are declared even though the skill depends on the external CellCog SDK/service. A resume-generation service typically requires an API key or account credentials and will transmit personal data (names, work history, contact info) to the vendor's servers. The omission of any declared primary credential or guidance about where to configure CellCog auth is an inconsistency that could lead to accidental leakage or unclear trust assumptions.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill metadata sets always:false and user-invocable:true; it does not request persistent privileges or to modify other skills. As an instruction-only skill it does not install background components or configure persistent access.

What to consider before installing

This skill appears to do what it says (use CellCog to create ATS-optimized resumes), but there are a few things to confirm before installing/using it: - Ask the publisher or platform where the 'cellcog' SDK/integration comes from and whether you must provide an API key or account credential. The SKILL.md implies an external service but the skill package declares no required credentials. - Confirm data flow and privacy: resumes contain highly sensitive PII (employment history, contact info). Verify CellCog's privacy policy and whether documents are sent to their servers, how long they are stored, and whether you can opt out of retention. - If you must provide an API key, ensure you create a least-privilege key scoped for resume generation only, and avoid reusing highly privileged credentials. - Because the skill produces files (PDF/DOCX), check where those files will be written and whether the agent/platform restricts access to other system files. If the publisher can confirm that the CellCog integration is provided by a platform-level skill (and explain where/when credentials are requested), this reduces the concern. Without that clarification, proceed cautiously and avoid submitting sensitive real-world data until you understand authentication and data-handling details.

Tips for Better Resumes

1. Provide real details: Don't say "I worked on projects" — give specific metrics, tools, and outcomes. CellCog can't invent your achievements.

2. Name the target role: "Resume for a PM" is vague. "Resume targeting Senior PM roles at B2B SaaS companies in fintech" gives CellCog direction.

3. Include metrics: Revenue numbers, user counts, percentage improvements — quantifiable results make resumes stand out.

4. Specify design preferences: "Modern and minimal", "traditional corporate", "creative with color" — or let CellCog choose based on your industry.

5. Choose your format: PDF is the default for polished, presentation-ready resumes. Request DOCX when you need to edit or when ATS systems require Word format.
