Cover Letter

Q: How do I know the Cover Letter output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The opening is specific to this company — it could not be pasted to another employer; Each evidence point maps a real, quantified result to one of the role's stated needs; It complements the resume (interprets/connects) rather than repeating its bullets; Under ~350 words; tight, scannable paragraphs.

Write a specific, non-generic cover letter that connects your evidence to the role. Use when asked to write a cover letter, an application letter, or a note to accompany a resume. Produces a tight 3–4 paragraph letter — a real hook, two evidence paragraphs mapping your proof to the job's needs, and a confident close — tailored to the company, ready to export as a designed PDF.

What to give it

▸The role & company — and the job description (the letter must be specific to it).

▸Why this company — something genuine: their product, mission, a recent move (avoids generic flattery).

▸Your 2–3 strongest, most relevant proofs — the achievements that map to what they need.

▸Tone — warm-professional (default), or more formal/creative per the company's culture.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The opening is specific to this company — it could not be pasted to another employer

✓Each evidence point maps a real, quantified result to one of the role's stated needs

✓It complements the resume (interprets/connects) rather than repeating its bullets

✓Under ~350 words; tight, scannable paragraphs

✓Voice sounds like a person (contractions, active verbs), not a template

✓Addressed to a named person where findable

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not open with "I am writing to apply for the position of…" — it wastes the most valuable line

Do not restate the resume — the letter adds connection and context, not a duplicate list

Do not use generic flattery ("your prestigious company") — name something real and specific

Do not pad to a page — a tight 4 paragraphs beats a full page of filler

Do not sound desperate or arrogant — aim for confident and genuinely interested
