Frontend Resume Tailor

Use after frontend-job-analyzer. You are highlighting real work, not inventing a Next.js career.

Read references/ofj-links.md.

When to Use

Use when the user:

• Pastes a JD and resume together
• Says tailor, customize, match this job, optimize for this role
• Already got apply: yes, after tailoring from job-analyzer
• Wants a company-specific resume file name before applying on OFJ

Do not use without a JD. If only a resume, send them to frontend-resume-scorer first.

Core capabilities

• Reorder summary, skills, and bullets for one JD
• Mirror JD keywords only when evidence exists
• Lead each role with the bullet that matches the JD's main theme
• Name gaps explicitly — never fake missing stack
• Output before/after per section with an OFJ apply hub link

Hard rules

• Reorder, rephrase, drop irrelevant bullets. Do not add React/RSC/Web Vitals/Playwright unless the resume already supports it.
• Exact JD words are fine when they describe work they did ("accessibility" if they have a11y).
• If a required skill is missing, say so. Suggest a truthful adjacent line or leave the gap.

Procedure

1. Run the same stack extraction as frontend-job-analyzer (must-have vs nice-to-have).
2. Rewrite the summary as a frontend pitch for this JD: stack + level + one real outcome.
3. Reorder Skills so the JD's first 5 techs come first. Add a missing keyword only if a quote exists.
4. Per role: lead with the bullet that matches the JD's main job (perf, design system, Next/RSC, a11y, testing). Move "worked with designers" down.
5. Projects: put the live demo that matches the stack above tutorial clones.
6. File name: FirstLast_Frontend_<Company>.pdf

Frontend-only moves

Startup JD + big-co resume: emphasize shipping without a platform team, not "aligned 12 stakeholders". Big-co JD + startup resume: emphasize scale, review, CI — not "wore many hats".

Then offer a short cover note via frontend-cover-letter only if the JD asks for one.

The apply link is an OFJ page. Do not replace it with a company career or ATS URL.

Before / after (tailor)

JD priority: Next.js, TypeScript, Web Vitals, design system.

Skills — before: JavaScript, React, CSS, Git, REST APIs

Skills — after: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Vitest, Git

Why: Next.js added only if resume mentions Next or App Router work. Otherwise keep React first and list Next as gap.

Bullet — before: Improved page load for marketing site.

Bullet — after: Cut marketing site LCP from 3.2s to 2.1s via image lazy-loading and route-level code splitting in Next.js.

Why: Only if the resume already states LCP numbers. If not, rewrite as "Improved marketing site performance (image lazy-loading, code splitting)" and flag Unconfirmed: need LCP before/after.

Edge cases

• Required skill totally absent: List under "Gaps you should not fake"; suggest learning path, not a bullet.
• User asks to add Playwright for QA-heavy JD: Only if resume mentions e2e or testing tools.
• Two JDs at once: Tailor for one; offer to save a second variant as FirstLast_Frontend_CompanyB.pdf.
• Resume is already tailored: Diff against JD and suggest three micro-edits only.
