resume

A Claude Code skill that turns any CV into a clean one-page LaTeX resume, then helps you make it stronger.

What it does

1. Converts your CV (PDF or pasted text) into a modified Jake's Resume template:
   • name and one contact line (location | phone | email | LinkedIn)
   • each role on one line: Role – Company · Start – End | Location
   • Summary → Experience → Skills → Education
2. Builds the PDF locally with Tectonic (or pdflatex). It warns you when it overflows one page or a line runs past the margin.
3. Scores every experience bullet 0–10 right in the PDF ([3] – Design and develop ...), with a per-role breakdown.
4. Interviews you one bullet at a time to rewrite it. You get a natural mix of Google XYZ bullets (accomplished X, measured by Y, by doing Z) and strong bullets without metrics. It never makes up numbers.
5. Scores and rewrites your professional summary using the FAANG Tech Leads summary guidance.

Install

git clone https://github.com/amigoscode/resume ~/.claude/skills/resume
brew install tectonic   # LaTeX compiler, ~20 MB

Then in Claude Code:

Here's my CV: ~/Downloads/my-cv.pdf. Make a LaTeX version and rate my bullets.

Build without Claude

cp ~/.claude/skills/resume/assets/template.tex My_Resume.tex
# edit My_Resume.tex
~/.claude/skills/resume/scripts/build.sh My_Resume.tex --open

The template also works on Overleaf: paste it in and click Recompile.

Layout

SKILL.md               # the workflow Claude follows
assets/template.tex    # the LaTeX template (sample content)
assets/sample.pdf/.png  # the template, built
scripts/build.sh       # build + page count + margin-overflow check
references/bullets.md  # bullet scoring rubric, interview questions, rewrite rules
references/summary.md  # summary scoring rubric and rewrite pattern
