|

Tailor the best-matching resume variant under `src/` to a target role by refactoring **wording only** — the set of
|
||||
projects, experiences, employers, dates, and titles is FIXED and must never change.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
- **Role description:** $ARGUMENTS (a file path or pasted text; if a path, Read it)
|
||||
- **Source of truth:** the YAML files under `docs/` — the canonical inventory:
|
||||
- `docs/about/` — summary/headline, contact, positioning
|
||||
- `docs/experience/` — roles, employers, dates, verified accomplishment bullets
|
||||
- `docs/projects/` — project inventory with stack and outcomes
|
||||
- `docs/skills/` — skill taxonomy
|
||||
Read ALL files in these directories before selecting content. Every claim in the
|
||||
output must be traceable to an entry in one of them. If any directory is missing
|
||||
or empty, extract the current content of the react-native template (the most
|
||||
complete variant) into the right files and ask me to verify before proceeding.
|
||||
- **Templates:** the role-variant resumes under `src/`:
|
||||
- cryptography variant
|
||||
- founding engineer variant
|
||||
- protocol variant
|
||||
- react native variant ← **gold standard** for structure, density, bullet
|
||||
style, and formatting. 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_<Role>_<Company>.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_<Role>_<Company>.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. You MAY reorder bullets
|
||||
within a section and swap which projects are shown vs. cut, choosing the subset
|
||||
most relevant to the role — but only from the `docs/` inventory.
|
||||
3. **Exactly one page.** Not 0.9 pages with whitespace at the bottom, not 1.05
|
||||
pages. 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
|
||||
# <app> = PradNukala_<Role>_<Company>, the new application file under src/
|
||||
make <app> && pdfinfo dist/<app>.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.
|
||||
- If the JD is for a materially different track than the yaml supports (e.g.,
|
||||
pure ML role vs. infra background), say so up front rather than stretching.
