README (SKILL.md)
CareerMax Cover Letter Writer
Generate tailored cover letters that connect a candidate's resume to a specific job description.
Setup
- Sign in to CareerMax.
- Open Settings → API Keys.
- Create a new API key and copy it. The key starts with
cmx_live_and is shown only once. - Set the environment variable:
export CAREERMAX_API_KEY="cmx_live_..."
How it works
- The skill connects to CareerMax through the
@careermax/agent-toolkitMCP server. - For MCP usage, provide
resumeTextandjobDescription. - The agent can retrieve the stored resume first with
get_resume, then pass the resume text intogenerate_cover_letter. - The CLI can generate a cover letter from a saved CareerMax job ID.
- AI-generation operations use preview/confirm — the agent shows a summary and credit cost before execution.
Tools
generate_cover_letter— Generate a tailored cover letter from resume text and a job description
MCP usage
CAREERMAX_API_KEY="cmx_live_..." npx -y --package @careermax/agent-toolkit@latest careermax-mcp
CLI usage
npx -y --package @careermax/agent-toolkit@latest careermax cover-letter generate --job-id \x3Cid>
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you are comfortable giving the agent process access to your CareerMax API key and sending resume/job-description content to CareerMax. For stricter environments, review or pin the npm package version instead of relying on @latest.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is generating tailored cover letters, and the documented MCP/CLI capabilities are limited to cover-letter generation from resume text and job descriptions, with optional retrieval of a stored CareerMax resume.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are user-directed and disclose the key inputs, the CareerMax service connection, and preview/confirm behavior before AI-generation operations.
Install Mechanism
The skill runs an external npm package via npx using @careermax/agent-toolkit@latest; this is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but @latest can change over time.
Credentials
It requires CAREERMAX_API_KEY and handles resume and job-description content, which is sensitive but expected and proportionate for the stated cover-letter workflow.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact shows no local persistence, background workers, privilege escalation, or broad file access; stored resume retrieval depends on the user's CareerMax account data.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cover-letter-writer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cover-letter-writer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
