Resume tailoring¶

Turns resume/master-resume.md + skills-inventory.md into a two-page, ATS-safe DOCX for one posting, truthfully. Runs the tailor-resume Claude Code skill headlessly through your subscription; nothing is typed into a chat.

Running it¶

Tick jobs (or none, for the whole current list) and press ✎ Tailor resumes. Jobs that are citizen-only, already applied, already ready or in progress are skipped; the batch is capped by resume.batch_max. Two workers run in parallel by default (resume.parallel, adjustable live on the Resumes tab).

The questions¶

Analyze reads the posting against your inventory and returns only the requirements it cannot settle - "Do you have hands-on Vitess experience?" - as have / familiar / don't have with an optional context line. Questions are grouped by job on the Resumes tab; each group has its own Submit & generate. Answers are per application unless you tick Also remember, which writes them into skills-inventory.md (the only path into the inventory). That is also how fit scoring gets sharper over time.

What you get¶

resume/output/<Company>/<Role-slug>/<jobId>/:

File	Purpose
`<file_name>.docx`	the tailored two-page resume (name from `resume.file_name`)
`resume.md`	the same content in Markdown - what the filler reads when a form asks for employment or education blocks
`notes.md`	what was emphasised and why
`job.md`	snapshot of the posting
`qa.md`, `cover-letter.md`, `<stem>_Cover_Letter.docx`, `_short.docx`	on demand: application Q&A answers, long and short cover letters

The Resumes tab's Ready list shows each finished job with Open resume / Folder / Notes / Regenerate / Cover letter / Application Q&A, and the apply controls. Skipped or applied jobs move to a collapsed Finished section.

Rules the skill follows¶

Claims come only from master-resume.md and the inventory. familiar may appear as familiarity; dont-have never appears.
Layout and tone rules come from preferences.md; the page constants live in scripts/build_docx.js and are not restyled per job.
The skill's wording is yours to own: .claude/skills/tailor-resume/SKILL.md.

Settings¶

Settings → Resume tailoring: model (Fable 5.1 default), output folder, file name, claude command, timeout, batch cap, parallel workers, and a Test button that checks the binary and runs a one-line claude -p.
