About this skill

Generate Base Resume from Resources

Read all source materials in resources/ and populate the base resume LaTeX sections.

Files to read

  • resources/notes.md — work history, skills, career narrative, personal details
  • resources/publications.md — list of publications with metadata
  • All PDF/DOCX files in resources/ (convert to text before reading)
  • base/personal-info.tex — existing contact fields
  • base/sections/ — review existing content before overwriting
  • publications/publications.bib — existing BibTeX entries (avoid duplicates)

Files to write

base/personal-info.tex

Fill \name, \position, \address, \mobile, \email, \github, \linkedin from resources. Leave any field blank if not found.

base/sections/summary.tex

Write a 3–4 sentence professional summary using \begin{cvparagraph}...\end{cvparagraph}. Highlight: years of experience, primary domain, top 2–3 strengths.

base/sections/experience.tex

One \cventry per position inside \begin{cventries}, reverse-chronological. Format:

\cventry{Job Title}{Company}{Location}{Start -- End}{\begin{cvitems}\item{...}\end{cvitems}}

Focus on quantified accomplishments (%, numbers, scale) over generic duties.

base/sections/education.tex

One \cventry per degree, reverse-chronological.

base/sections/skills.tex

Group into categories using:

\begin{cvskills}
  \cvskill{Category}{Skill 1, Skill 2, Skill 3}
\end{cvskills}

publications/publications.bib

Add each publication as @article, @inproceedings, @book, etc. Required fields: author, title, year, journal/booktitle, doi.

Quality criteria

  • All LaTeX must be valid (no unmatched braces, no undefined commands)
  • Reverse-chronological order throughout
  • No placeholder text in output — real data only
  • Accomplishments quantified wherever source data allows

After writing

Tell the user to review base/sections/, run make base (or .\build.ps1 on Windows) to compile, then use /tailor-resume for a specific job application.
