Treat it as the style reference for all others. + +## Template selection & facelift + +1. Glob `src/*.tex` and score the input JD against each base variant (domain + keywords, stack overlap, seniority framing). Pick the closest match as the + base. +2. **Copy the base to a new application file** — never edit the four base + variants in place: `src/PradNukala__.tex` (CamelCase fields, + underscores between them, e.g. `PradNukala_SeniorBackendEngineer_EllipsisLabs.tex`). + All content work happens in this copy; the glob Makefile emits the + deliverable `dist/PradNukala__.pdf` with no Makefile edit. +3. If the selected base is NOT the react-native one, run a **facelift pass + before content work**: diff its structure against the react-native template + and bring it to parity — section ordering conventions, bullet formatting, + spacing macros, header/contact block, and overall density. Structure from + react-native; content from the selected variant's domain + `docs/`. +4. If the JD is a hybrid (e.g., protocol + founding engineer), pick the closer + base and pull the other domain's content via `docs/`, not by copy-pasting + stale `.tex` bullets across variants. +5. Never edit any base variant as collateral damage — react-native included; + bases only change when intentionally updating the base itself. + +## Hard constraints + +1. **No fabrication.** Never invent metrics, technologies, scope, or outcomes not + present in the `docs/` YAML files. Rewording is allowed; new claims are not. +2. **Fixed inventory.** Do not add or remove jobs/projects.

Full page, visually dense but readable. +4. **ATS-safe.** No text in images, no tables for core content, standard section + headers (Experience, Projects, Skills, Education). + +## Workflow + +### 1. Analyze the role description +- Extract: required skills, preferred skills, seniority signals, domain keywords, + and repeated phrases (repetition = what they actually screen for). +- Build a keyword priority list: `must-hit` / `should-hit` / `nice-to-hit`. + +### 2. Score and select content +- Score every experience bullet in `docs/experience/` and every project in + `docs/projects/` against the keyword list (relevance × recency × impact). +- Select the highest-scoring subset that plausibly fills one page. Note what was + cut and why — report this at the end. + +### 3. Refactor wording +For each selected bullet: +- Lead with a strong verb, embed the highest-priority keyword naturally, end with + a concrete outcome or metric from the yaml. +- Mirror the JD's exact terminology where truthful (if they say "distributed + systems" and the yaml says "microservices at scale," use their phrasing). +- 1–2 lines per bullet in the compiled PDF. Never let a bullet wrap to a lonely + 1–3 word second line (an "orphan") — tighten wording instead. +- Skills section: reorder so must-hit keywords appear first; drop irrelevant ones. + +### 4. Compile and verify page fit (loop) +```bash +# = PradNukala__, the new application file under src/ +make && pdfinfo dist/.pdf | grep Pages +``` +- **> 1 page:** tighten in this order — (a) reword verbose bullets, (b) cut the + lowest-scoring bullet, (c) reduce `\itemsep`/section spacing, (d) drop the + lowest-scoring project. Recompile after each change. +- **< 1 full page** (check visually via `pdftotext` density or rendered output): + expand in this order — (a) restore a cut high-scoring bullet, (b) add a relevant + bullet from the yaml not currently used, (c) modestly increase spacing. Content + before whitespace, always. +- Repeat until exactly one full page. Cap at 6 compile iterations; if still + fighting, show me the tradeoff options instead of thrashing. + +### 5. Report +Output a summary: +- Which template was selected and its JD match score vs. the other three +- Facelift diff summary (if a non-react-native variant was uplifted): what + structural changes were pulled from the gold standard +- Keyword coverage table: must-hit terms → where each landed (or "MISSING — not + supported by docs/, do not fake it") +- What was cut/reordered and why +- Before/after for the 3 most significantly rewritten bullets +- Final page-fit status and compile command used + +## Notes +- Preserve any custom LaTeX macros in the template; edit content inside them.
