Use application-form-answers

Prepare the answers to a job application form from the person's resume

Prepare the answers to a job application form from the person's resume: each question in the form's own order with either a drafted answer and the resume line behind it, or a note that it is theirs alone to answer (right to work, sponsorship, salary, declarations, monitoring questions), plus the questions that could screen the application out and the ones their resume already bears on. Works for any occupation.

Reach for it when the user says "help me fill in this application form", "answer these application questions", "what do I put for these screening questions", or pastes the questions from an online job application.

Install it

npx skilldrop-cli install application-form-answers                 # Claude Code, your user folder
npx skilldrop-cli install application-form-answers --project       # Claude Code, this repo
npx skilldrop-cli install application-form-answers --ide cursor    # or kiro, codex, antigravity, copilot

It is part of the Job applications pack: --pack career installs it with its neighbours.

Ask for it

Say it the way you would to a colleague. Requests like these route to it:

• "Help me fill in this application form"
• "What do I put for these screening questions on the job application?"
• "Answer these application questions from my resume"
• "The form has a 100-word 'summarise your experience' box, draft it from my CV"

Requests like these belong to a different skill, so it shouldn't answer them:

• "Is this job a good fit for me?"
• "Tailor my resume for this posting"
• "Write the cover letter for this application"

If another skill answers instead, ask for this one by name: "use application-form-answers".

Check what you get

A good result:

• Every question on the form appears once, in the form's order and wording.
• No declaration, preference or private fact is answered for the person.
• Every drafted answer traces to the resume or the person's own words, and fits its limit.
• Honest answers that could screen the application out are named first, and left honest.
• Where the resume bears on a question that is theirs, they are told.

Use something else when

• Deciding whether the job is worth applying for. Use job-fit-analysis.
• Tailoring the resume the form asks you to upload. Use resume-tailor.
• Writing the cover letter the form asks you to attach. Use cover-letter.

Where a loop runs it

• Stage form of the apply loop
