Cal Corum e02eb28e98 refactor: rename skill dirs to verb-based names to reduce autocomplete redundancy 
Plugin:skill pairs now read as noun:verb commands instead of repeating
the plugin name. Also added concise descriptions to all SKILL.md frontmatter.

Resume Tailoring Skill

Overview

Generates high-quality, tailored resumes optimized for specific job descriptions while maintaining factual integrity. Builds resumes around the holistic person by surfacing undocumented experiences through conversational discovery.

Core Principle: Truth-preserving optimization - maximize fit while maintaining factual integrity. Never fabricate experience, but intelligently reframe and emphasize relevant aspects.

Mission: A person's ability to get a job should be based on their experiences and capabilities, not on their resume writing skills.

When to Use

  • User provides a job description and wants a tailored resume
  • User has multiple existing resumes in markdown format
  • User wants to optimize their application for a specific role/company
  • User needs help surfacing and articulating undocumented experiences

DO NOT use for: Generic resume writing from scratch, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles.

Quick Start

Required from user:

  1. Job description (text or URL)
  2. Resume library location (defaults to resumes/ in current directory)

Workflow:

  1. Build library from existing resumes
  2. Research company/role
  3. Create template (with user checkpoint)
  4. Optional: Branching experience discovery
  5. Match content with confidence scoring
  6. Generate MD + DOCX + PDF + Report
  7. User review → Optional library update

Multi-Job Detection

When user provides multiple JDs, URLs, or mentions "multiple jobs" / "batch" / "several positions", offer multi-job mode for shared experience discovery and batch processing.

See multi-job-workflow.md for complete multi-job implementation.

Key Constraints

  • NEVER fabricate experience — reframe truthfully
  • NEVER inflate seniority beyond defensible
  • Company names and dates MUST be exact
  • All checkpoints require user approval before proceeding
  • Generation failures fall back to markdown-only
