Resume Skill — Resume Builder & Beautifier

🌐 English · 中文

A Claude / Copilot skill that turns "I need a good-looking resume" into a stable, repeatable workflow. Every input flows into one standardized data schema, then renders through a swappable template — switching templates is just a skin change, content is never lost.

Three entry points

All three funnel into schema/resume-data.md, then render through a template.

Eleven templates

Preview	Template	Best for
	Classic / ATS classic-ats.html	Single-column, machine-parseable, safest for mass applications
	Ledger ledger.html	LaTeX-style serif, justified, nested bullets — SWE / data / eng
	Tech Compact tech-compact.html	High density + mono accents, fits many projects on one page
	Modern Sidebar modern-sidebar.html	Two-column with dark sidebar, modern feel
	Pillar pillar.html	Enhancv-style, blue accents + skill chips + icon achievements — PM / marketing
	Elegant Serif elegant-serif.html	Centered editorial serif — design / consulting / marketing
	Atelier atelier.html	Whitespace-heavy minimal — design / creative roles
	Timeline timeline.html	Vertical timeline spine — shows career progression at a glance
	Swiss swiss.html	Swiss grid, bold Helvetica + red accent — design / brand / creative
	Executive executive.html	Navy serif, understated gravitas — finance / consulting / senior leaders
	Color-block colorblock.html	Bold full-width coral header band — tech / marketing / energetic

Picking one: mass-applying / passing the bots → Classic-ATS or Ledger; a human reads it / referral / portfolio-facing → the others stand out more.

Three first principles

1. Never fabricate. Every experience, responsibility and number comes from what the user actually provided. Guide, probe, sharpen weak bullets — but never invent a company, title, result, or metric. Verify every number; mark unknowns [to confirm].
2. One question at a time. Building a resume by conversation is an interview, not a questionnaire.
3. Structure first, render second. Whatever the entry point, organize content into the schema/resume-data.md fields and confirm it before rendering HTML.

Editable variant — click any text to edit

Every render produces two files:

The editable variant layers three things on top of any template (see prompts/editable-version.md) without touching its visual design:

• contenteditable="true" on the content container
• Hover / focus affordance (dashed yellow → solid blue outline)
• A floating toolbar (top-right) with Save as PDF and Lock buttons
• @media print hides the toolbar and edit highlights so the exported PDF stays clean

⚠️ Browser edits live only in the current tab — refresh and they're gone. Always Cmd+P to lock changes into a PDF.

Usage

Drop the whole resume-skill/ folder into your skills directory (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/resume-skill/) and just say "beautify this resume" (attach a PDF), "I have no resume, let's build one", or "here's my LinkedIn, make me one." Claude reads SKILL.md and runs the matching flow.

Output: two self-contained single-file HTMLs — <name>-resume-<template>.html (locked) and <name>-resume-<template>-editable.html (click-to-edit). Open either in a browser → Cmd+P → Save as PDF (margins None/Default, enable background graphics).
