Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Initialize your job search project. Imports your resume(s), creates the Resume Corpus, and sets up directory structure.Key capabilities
- →Import resume files into a structured corpus
- →Set up a job search project directory structure
- →Analyze PDF resume layout to create a template
- →Generate a voice profile from writing samples
- →Capture tone, style, and signature elements from writing
- →Suggest running a scoping interview next
How it works
The skill executes a workflow that introduces agents, obtains privacy consent, sets up directories, imports resumes to create a corpus, analyzes PDF layouts for templates, and generates a voice profile from writing samples.
Inputs & outputs
When to use init
- →Setup new job search project
- →Import and analyze resume
- →Create voice profile from writing samples
About this skill
Init Workflow
Load and execute: workflows/init/workflow.md
Read the entire workflow file and execute it step by step. This workflow:
- Introduces both agents (Max and Scout)
- Obtains privacy agreement before processing personal data
- Sets up directory structure (profile/, applications/, research/)
- Imports resume(s) and creates the structured Resume Corpus
- Analyzes PDF resume layout to create a matching template for PDF generation (Step 4b)
- Optionally imports writing samples for voice matching
- Generates a Voice Profile from writing samples to capture tone, style, and signature elements (Step 5a)
- Suggests running scoping-interview next
PDF Template Analysis (Step 4b):
When a PDF resume is imported, this workflow analyzes its visual structure and creates profile/resume_template.yaml. This template captures:
- Layout (single/two-column, margins, page size)
- Header styling (name position, contact layout)
- Section ordering and formatting
- Typography (fonts, sizes, colors)
- Experience bullet styles and date positioning
The template ensures tailored resumes maintain the same look and feel as your original. If no PDF tools are installed, the template is still saved for later use.
Voice Profile Generation (Step 5a):
When writing samples are imported, this workflow analyzes them to create profile/voice_profile.json. This profile captures:
- Tone (formality, confidence, energy)
- Sentence structure patterns and vocabulary
- Voice preferences (active/passive, first/third person)
- Rhetorical patterns (argument structure, evidence style)
- Signature phrases and distinctive elements
- Generation guidance (dos, don'ts, example sentences)
The voice profile ensures cover letters and other generated content match your authentic writing style.
Follow all steps exactly as written. Wait for user input where the workflow specifies interaction points.
$ARGUMENTS
When not to use it
- →When the user does not want to initialize a job search project
- →When the user does not want to process personal data and declines the privacy agreement
- →When the user does not have resume(s) or writing samples to import
Limitations
- →It requires user interaction for privacy agreement and workflow steps
- →It only creates the template for PDF generation, not the PDF itself
- →It only generates a voice profile, not content using that profile
How it compares
This skill automates the initial setup of a job search project by creating a structured resume corpus, analyzing PDF layouts for consistent formatting, and generating a voice profile for authentic content, which is more complete than m
