Claude Resume Generator Skill

About

Resume Tailor is a Claude code skill that turns a job description and a candidate's master profile into ATS-verified, tailored resumes and matching cover letters compiled into publication-quality PDFs. Key Principles & Core Philosophy 1. Code Decides Quality, LLM Writes Content The LLM generates resume content, but deterministic code controls layout constraints, character counts, ATS extraction, and PDF visual bounds. Page count and text alignment are verified against the compiled PDF—never estimated. 2. Strict Schema Guardrails Layout overflow is prevented at the schema level. Pydantic schema validation enforces bullet point counts (e.g., maximum 4 per role) and length limits (e.g., maximum 120 characters per bullet). 3. The Honesty Constraint - Never fabricate skills or metrics: If a skill is missing from the master profile, it is categorized as a genuine gap. - Translate adjacent experience: Existing experience is reframed using the job description's vocabulary (e.g., reframing a legacy migration project as scalable architecture). - Traceable numbers: All metrics and statistics must originate directly from the master profile. 4. Human-in-the-Loop Verification Proposed reframings and gap fillings must be explicitly reviewed and approved by the user before resume compilation.
