Users could already swap the stock moderncv/cover.cls templates, but only by
hand-editing the guidance in 05-cv-templates.md and 06-cover-letter-templates.md.
/add-template automates that:
- Interviews the user for the template's instructions: compile engine, fonts
(bundled files or system), style rules to preserve, and hard page limit
- Stores the template profile-agnostic ([PLACEHOLDER] tokens) under templates/
with a TEMPLATE.md manifest, so templates are safe to commit and share
- Runs a mandatory test compile with dummy data before registering anything
- Activates via a single managed block in 05/06, which /apply already reads,
so no changes to the /apply workflow are needed; --use default is a clean
revert to the stock templates
- --list and --use <name> manage multiple registered templates
Docs: README (commands list, file structure, LaTeX templates section) and
SETUP.md (compile section pointer).
* fix: move scoped permissions to settings.json, drop curl, untrack settings.local.json
Addresses #23:
- Remove pre-approved Bash(curl:*) - no agent workflow uses curl, and a
toolkit that routinely feeds untrusted job postings to the model should
not ship a pre-approved exfiltration-capable command
- Move shared permissions to .claude/settings.json (committed by
convention) and scope them tighter: Bash(bun run:*) for the job portal
CLIs, Bash(python/python3 salary_lookup.py:*) for salary lookups
- Untrack .claude/settings.local.json - it was committed despite being
listed in .gitignore; the file stays local for personal overrides

* refactor: fold /setup_docs into /setup as third onboarding path
- Auto-detect documents/ at /setup Step 0; offer three paths (documents
folder, single CV import, interview).
- Inline document-driven merge logic into setup.md as Path A: read-before-
write, additive vs. conflicting bucket merge with per-conflict prompts,
inference labeling for behavioral and style files, STAR-stub generation
instead of fabrication.
- Step 3 substeps for skill files skip when Path A populated them; non-
skill substeps (CLAUDE.md, cv/main_example.tex, search-queries.md)
always run. Path C interview preserved verbatim. /setup --section <name>
update flow preserved.
- Delete .claude/commands/setup_docs.md.
- Update /reset prompts to point only at /setup. Update documents/README.md
to reference /setup throughout. Update README.md to drop the standalone
/setup_docs section and add upskill/ to the skills tree.
- Remove the trailing comma left in .claude/settings.local.json after the
PR #6 revert (was technically invalid JSON).
Single onboarding entry point. documents/ folder convention unchanged.

* docs(README): finish readme alignment for the /setup fold
- Update onboarding-paths tip to reflect three paths (was "Either"
before /setup_docs landed in PR #6).
- Add documents/ and upskill/ entries to the file tree, both relied
on by the new /setup Path A and by /upskill respectively.
- Add a brief "Other commands" section briefly describing /expand and
/upskill so users discover them without having to read individual
command files. /reset stays in the existing "Starting over"
subsection, now linked from the new section.

Adds four contributions from @Michael-Bach:
- /setup_docs - document-driven profile population from a documents/ folder (CV, LinkedIn export, diplomas, references, past applications). Idempotent merge with explicit additive vs. conflicting buckets and per-conflict prompts.
- /reset - typed-RESET confirmation gate for clearing profile data and/or documents folder contents.
- /expand - additive competency enrichment from documents and public URLs already in the profile (GitHub repos, portfolio sites), with web-searched syllabus lookups for named courses and certifications.
- /upskill - skill-gap analysis vs tracked jobs (or single URL), produces a prioritized heatmap and learning plan with year-tagged WebSearch queries.
Also adds the documents/ folder convention with README and gitignore entries for personal output files.
Closes#6
Two additions to 05-cv-templates.md so the /apply workflow follows the
same patterns as cv/main_example.tex:
1. Add the three \renewcommand* lines to the documented preamble so
downstream CVs inherit the color1 overrides for firstname, lastname,
and section headings. Includes a short paragraph explaining the
reason and a note for users who prefer regular-weight firstname.
2. Add a "Spacing inside itemize lists" subsection that calls out the
inter-item \vspace anti-pattern with a wrong/right example and
explicitly preserves the two related patterns that DO render fine
(post-section spacer, inter-cventry \vspace{3pt}).

Brings 02-behavioral-profile.md back into the reviewer's reading list (it
was dropped in the earlier token-efficiency refactor). The reviewer now
reads four files: 01 (candidate profile), 02 (behavioral profile), 03
(writing style), 04 (job evaluation). The LaTeX template files (05, 06)
remain excluded, since those govern structural/LaTeX concerns the drafter
already applied.
The behavioral profile is there to let the reviewer cross-check whether
the cover letter's voice matches the candidate's natural register -
something 03-writing-style.md does not encode (03 has the universal rules
like "no em-dashes, no cliches"; 02 has the per-person register like
"Collaborator PI should not be given a combative solo-hero tone").
Also cross-references 02 explicitly in the Part B "Tone and style issues"
category so the reviewer actually uses it during critique rather than
just skimming it.

Audit of master vs the branch found three real coverage gaps in the
reviewer prompt and drafter's revise step. This commit restores them
without giving up the Part A (JSON edits) + Part B (narrative) structure.
1. Action-oriented reframing is restored as a Part B narrative category.
The previous refactor folded reframing into Part A edit rationales, but
structural weakness (e.g. "the whole opening paragraph is passive") does
not fit a clean find-and-replace and needs prose critique to surface.
2. Tone and style phrasing is strengthened from "anything that conflicts
with 03-writing-style.md" back to the master's proactive "check
against... flag issues with tone, formality, or voice", with explicit
examples (cliches, hedging, over-humility, inconsistent register).
3. Step 4 revise guidance is expanded from "Apply Part A... Apply Part B
using judgment" (which could be read as a free-for-all) to an
enumerated sub-list under Part B covering every category the reviewer
returns: missed keywords, company angles, action-oriented reframing,
tone/style. Keeps the architectural change (Part A/B split) but
restores the master's explicit "apply every kind of fix" discipline.
Also adds a small instruction to the reviewer: produce each Part B
category even if the finding is "no issues" - silence on a category can
be mistaken for skipping it.
One remaining judgment call left unchanged in this commit: the reviewer
no longer reads 02-behavioral-profile.md. The refactor excluded it on the
reasoning that 03-writing-style.md carries the voice/tone rules. This is
a conscious trade-off; if voice-matching starts slipping in practice,
restoring 02 to the reviewer's reading list is a one-line fix.

Adds a new Step 5 to the /apply workflow that compiles the CV (lualatex)
and cover letter (xelatex) and visually inspects the resulting PDFs before
presenting them to the user. This catches page-break failures that .tex
review cannot detect: orphaned cventry titles, cover letters spilling to
a second page, and bullet fonts not matching body text.
Also introduces relevance-weighted cutting as the rule for shrinking an
overflowing CV: score each candidate line by (a) relevance to the posting,
(b) uniqueness in the document, and (c) load-bearing role in the cover
letter, then cut the lowest-total-score line first, regardless of section.
This replaces the old static "cut oldest section first" heuristic, which
was wrong whenever a relevant older-role bullet competed with an
irrelevant recent-role bullet.
Bundled with the earlier pending token-efficiency improvements to the
/apply workflow (inline draft passing to the reviewer, scoped reviewer
file reads, single end-of-workflow verification pass).
Changes:
- .claude/commands/apply.md: new Step 5 (Compile & Inspect PDFs), renumber
old Step 5 to Step 6, update token-efficiency rules at top to reference
Step 6 for the verification checklist
- .claude/skills/job-application-assistant/05-cv-templates.md: switch
recommended compile engine from pdflatex to lualatex (pdflatex fails on
modern MiKTeX with fontawesome5 font-expansion errors), add
"Compile-and-Inspect Loop" section with needspace/enlargethispage
patterns, add "Relevance-weighted cutting" section
- .claude/skills/job-application-assistant/06-cover-letter-templates.md:
add compile command, add "Compile-and-Inspect Loop", document the
"\lettercontent{} + itemize" pitfall and the required font-matching
Raleway-Medium wrapper fix
- CLAUDE.md: add "Compiled PDF verification (MANDATORY)" checklist items
