### Steps

1. Paste the job post and your current resume.
2. Ask for the top 5 requirements and where your resume matches each.
3. Ask for rewritten bullets that use your real experience only.
4. Ask for a cover letter under 250 words.

### Prompt

```
Job post:
{{job}}

My resume:
{{resume}}

1. List the 5 most important requirements and, for each, the best match in my resume (or "gap").
2. Rewrite up to 6 bullets to fit this role, using only facts from my resume. Lead with results and numbers I gave.
3. Write a cover letter under 250 words that opens with why this company, not with "I am writing to apply".
Never invent experience, titles or numbers.
