resume-tailoring
Skill0 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub
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.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
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
- Very specific: line 23
Ask which version if unspecified.
- Very specific: line 41
Read the docx skill before DOCX and the pdf skill before PDF.
“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.

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,RAGmust 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
GitandSQL; 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
- Draft in markdown first (source of truth); iterate with edits.
- On request, generate DOCX (editable, for the candidate's own URL/profile edits) and/or PDF (ATS-friendly, selectable text).
- Read the
docxskill before DOCX and thepdfskill before PDF. Use US Letter sizing, bullet numbering config, right-aligned tab stops for role/date lines; validate output. - 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.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
