How it works
Each skill is a SKILL.md file your AI agent loads as expert context. Install one, then ask your agent to review your resume, prep an interview, or draft a cover letter; it applies the frameworks from the skill instead of generic advice. All resume skills are free, like the rest of the catalog. Adapted for QA professionals from the MIT-licensed Resume Skills project, with six QA-specific skills written by The Testing Academy.
