Resume-tailoring workflow — produces ATS-optimized, role-specific resumes (AI/GenAI Engineer vs Senior Backend Engineer) as markdown then DOCX/PDF, preserving real work history while reweighting emphasis. Use whenever the user asks to build, tailor, update, or reformat a resume, generate a role-specific version, or optimize a resume for ATS or a specific job description.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Ask which version if unspecified.

    line 23
  2. Very specific:

    Read the docx skill before DOCX and the pdf skill before PDF.

    line 41

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Resume Tailoring

Produce ATS-optimized, role-specific resumes. Preserve the candidate's real history; reweight emphasis per target role. Never invent experience, employers, dates, or metrics.

Fixed facts (do not alter)

Fill this block from the candidate's actual profile before drafting. Treat every value here as immutable once supplied — the rest of the workflow only changes emphasis, never facts.

  • Name: <FULL NAME> — Location: <CITY, COUNTRY>
  • Contact: <EMAIL> · <PHONE> · LinkedIn / GitHub / LeetCode / Portfolio — leave placeholders for URLs unless supplied.
  • Current role: <TITLE> at <EMPLOYER>, <START>–Present.
  • Education: <DEGREE>, <INSTITUTION>, <YEAR>.
  • Flagship project: the single strongest project — name it, state scale (user count, throughput) and the systems it integrates with. Keep headline numbers consistent across the summary and the bullets (pick one figure and reuse it verbatim).
  • Earlier work: prior projects and the older stack they used, so the timeline reads as progression rather than repetition.

Two target versions

Ask which version if unspecified. Same history, different weighting (~70/30):

AI / GenAI Engineer — lead with LLM, RAG, agentic AI, LangChain, LangGraph, MCP, Azure OpenAI, vector search (FAISS/pgvector), multi-agent orchestration. Backend stays present but secondary.

Senior Backend Engineer / Chatbot Developer — lead with Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, microservices, API design, cloud infra (Azure, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions), databases. Mention AI work only where it supports backend framing.

ATS rules

  • Literal keyword matching: ATS counts exact strings. Terms like MCP, Azure OpenAI, FastAPI, LangGraph, RAG must appear verbatim in bullets, not just implied. When tailoring to a JD, mirror its exact terms.
  • Strong action verbs; quantify achievements — only reuse metrics the candidate has already used elsewhere. Never invent a number.
  • 2 pages max. Single-column, selectable-text formatting (no tables/columns/text boxes that break parsers).
  • Separate, role-specific professional summary and technical-skills section per version.
  • Skills-section hygiene: no duplicate products listed as separate skills (e.g. "Azure AD SSO" and "Microsoft Entra ID" are the same — pick one); include standalone Git and SQL; keep granularity consistent (don't mix specific model versions with vague competencies); avoid vague catch-all category names; cap ~8–10 items per line.

Output workflow

  1. Draft in markdown first (source of truth); iterate with edits.
  2. On request, generate DOCX (editable, for the candidate's own URL/profile edits) and/or PDF (ATS-friendly, selectable text).
  3. Read the docx skill before DOCX and the pdf skill before PDF. Use US Letter sizing, bullet numbering config, right-aligned tab stops for role/date lines; validate output.
  4. End with a short changelog: what was reweighted in each version and why.

Projects to draw on

Maintain a running list of the candidate's real projects — each with its stack, scale, and one measurable outcome — and select from it per target role. Where a project was delivered for a client under NDA, refer to the client by industry and scale ("a Fortune 500 energy client") rather than by name.
