Write a short frontend cover letter only when the JD asks. Stack plus one real metric. No fluff.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If they do not have the required framework, do not claim a 2-week ramp as production experience.

    line 28

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Frontend Cover Letter

Most remote frontend roles do not read these. Write one only if the form requires it or they asked.

When to Use

  • JD or ATS has a cover-letter field
  • User asks for a letter for a frontend role

Skip if they already have a referral and the company said "no letter".

Shape (150–220 words)

  1. One line: role + company + the matching stack.
  2. One proof: a metric they actually have (LCP, users, design-system adoption, a11y).
  3. One sentence on why this product (from the JD, not "your mission inspires me").
  4. Close: timezone overlap if remote, link to portfolio + GitHub.

No "I am writing to express my interest". No restating the whole resume.

Truth

If they do not have the required framework, do not claim a 2-week ramp as production experience. Name the adjacent stack and stop.

Output

# Cover letter — [Role], [Company]

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
