# Resume Builder Skill

This skill creates beautifully designed, professional resumes as PDF documents. The output prioritizes clean typography, thoughtful spacing, and visual hierarchy while maintaining the practical readability employers expect.

## Required Information

Before beginning, gather:

1. **Resume Context** (REQUIRED): The user's professional background, including:
   - Work experience with roles, companies, dates, and accomplishments
   - Education background
   - Skills and competencies
   - Any additional relevant sections (certifications, projects, publications, etc.)

2. **Address Verification** (ALWAYS ASK): 
   - Prompt the user: "What address should appear on your resume? Has this changed from any previous version?"
   - If they have an existing resume, confirm the address is current

3. **Job-Specific Information** (OPTIONAL):
   - If applying for a specific role, request the job description or posting link
   - Ask: "Would you like me to create a cover letter as well?"
   - When tailoring to a job, use web_fetch to analyze the job description and align resume content accordingly

## Design Philosophy

Resumes should be **sophisticated yet accessible** - think of them as the intersection of:
- **Swiss design clarity**: Clean grids, thoughtful hierarchy, generous whitespace
- **Editorial polish**: Typography that's refined but never fussy
- **Scannable structure**: Easy for both human readers and ATS systems

### Visual Principles

**Typography**:
- Use 2-3 fonts maximum from `./assets/fonts` directory
- Recommended combinations:
  - **Professional/Corporate**: Inter (headers & body) - Clean, highly readable, excellent at all sizes
  - **Creative/Modern**: Special Gothic (headers) + Open Sans (body) - Distinctive yet professional
  - **Traditional/Academic**: Open Sans throughout - Reliable, approachable, universally compatible
- Headers: Clean, confident sans-serifs (moderate weight, not ultra-bold)
- Body: Highly readable sans-serif at 10-11pt
- Hierarchy through size, weight, and spacing - not color chaos

**Layout**:
- Generous margins (0.5-0.75 inches minimum)
- Clear section divisions using whitespace, not heavy lines
- Consistent spacing that creates rhythm
- Single column or subtle two-column for optimal readability

**Color** (use sparingly):
- Primarily black text on white
- Optional: One accent color for headers or subtle elements
- Never sacrifice readability for visual flair

**Spacing**:
- Every element has breathing room
- No cramped text or overlapping elements
- Page breaks must fall naturally between sections
- If content exceeds one page, ensure page 2 is substantial (not just a few lines)

## Content Guidelines

### Language & Tone

**CRITICAL**: Maintain authentic, professional language. Do NOT:
- Use buzzwords excessively (synergy, rockstar, ninja, guru)
- Over-inflate accomplishments with hyperbole
- Write in third person or use overly formal Victorian prose
- Create generic, template-sounding bullet points

Instead:
- Use clear, direct language with strong action verbs
- Quantify achievements where possible (numbers, percentages, scale)
- Be specific about technologies, methodologies, and outcomes
- Let accomplishments speak for themselves without excessive adjectives

### Structure

**Standard Sections** (adapt as needed):
1. **Header**: Name (prominent), contact info (email, phone, LinkedIn, location)
2. **Professional Summary** (optional, 2-3 lines maximum if included)
3. **Experience**: Company, Title, Dates, 3-5 bullet points per role
4. **Education**: Degree, Institution, Graduation year, relevant honors
5. **Skills**: Organized logically (by category if extensive)
6. **Additional Sections** a
