How does the skill access my professional history?

The skill resolves a local data directory (typically ~/.proficiently/) where it reads your work history profile and tailored resumes to ensure all generated content is accurate and factual.

Does it automatically save my cover letters?

Yes, it creates a standardized folder structure for every company and job, saving the final cover letter as a Markdown file for easy access.

Can I use this for jobs that require a specific tone?

Yes. After the initial draft, you can ask the skill to iterate on the tone, making it more formal, casual, or technical depending on the company culture.

What if the job URL is behind a login or can't be scraped?

If the browser tool cannot fetch the details, the skill will gracefully prompt you to paste the job description text directly into the terminal.
