Overview
This skill helps create tailored, role-optimized resumes from an existing resume library while preserving factual accuracy. It researches the company and role, generates a validated template, conducts branching experience discovery to surface undocumented skills, and outputs professional resumes in multiple formats.
How this skill works
The workflow builds an in-memory resume library from user-provided markdown resumes, researches the job and company to produce a success profile, and generates a role-specific resume template. It can run an optional branching interview to surface additional experiences, matches library content to the template with confidence scoring, and exports MD, DOCX, PDF, and a matching report.
When to use it
- You have one or more existing resumes and a job description to target.
- You want optimized resumes for a specific company or role using truthful reframing.
- You need to discover and articulate undocumented experiences to strengthen fit.
- You want batch processing for multiple job applications with shared discovery.
- You need multi-format output (Markdown, DOCX, PDF) and a matching confidence report.
Best practices
- Provide a clear job description or JD URL and point the skill to your resume library path.
- Confirm the success profile and template checkpoints before generation to keep control.
- Use the branching experience discovery to capture overlooked impact, metrics, or context.
- Keep company names and dates exact; only reframe titles and descriptions that are defensible.
- Review the confidence report and approve any library updates before saving changes.
Example use cases
- Tailor a single resume for a technical program manager role using one resume as source.
- Batch-generate resumes for 3 similar product roles using multi-job mode to share discovery.
- Surface and document project outcomes and metrics that were not on the original resume.
- Reframe titles and bullets to industry-standard terminology without fabricating duties.
- Produce polished DOCX and PDF resumes plus a matching report for recruiter submission.
