Job-specific cover letters without the existential dread

INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Write a cover letter for this job. Use my resume to find the strongest connections between my experience and their requirements. The tone should be professional but human — no corporate clichés, no "I am excited to apply" openers, no AI-sounding filler. Open with something specific about the company or role. In the body, connect 2-3 of my most relevant accomplishments to their stated needs. Close with a clear next step. Keep it under 400 words. If I include notes, weave them in naturally.

How It Works
This skill reads the job description and your resume, finds the intersection
of what they need and what you've done, and writes a cover letter that
connects those dots. No "I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest"
filler. No AI slop. Just a clear case for why you're a fit.

Tips
- Add one personal detail or genuine reason you want the role — it shows
- If you know the hiring manager's name, include it
