FAQPage Schema
How do I condense a long LaTeX CV into a 1-page version?

To condense a LaTeX CV, this Skill generates a compact 1-page variant from your master source. It applies pruning rules and audience presets to produce a budget-compliant, derived output file without altering the original document.

Can I generate both 1-page and 2-page CV variants from a single master LaTeX file?

Yes, you can generate both 1-page and 2-page CV variants from a single master LaTeX file. The Skill creates separate derived files, such as sample_cv_1page.tex and sample_cv_2page.tex, ensuring safe editing by preserving the master source.

Does this tool apply different pruning rules for academic versus industry CVs?

Yes, the tool applies audience-specific constraints using built-in presets. It references a selection guide to enforce pruning rules tailored for academic and industry applications, ensuring the condensed CV retains essential content for the target audience.

What is the best way to manage page budgets when shortening a master CV?

The best way to manage page budgets is using the Skill's audience presets and selection guide. It automatically enforces page budget constraints during the condensation process, outputting a compact manuscript that fits your specified length limits.

Will generating a condensed CV modify my original master LaTeX source?

No, generating a condensed CV will not modify your original master LaTeX source. The Skill practices safe editing by producing new, derived output files for the 1-page or 2-page variants while keeping the master document completely intact.

Do I need to manually select which sections to keep when condensing a LaTeX CV?

No, you do not need to manually select sections. The Skill uses a Quick Start guide and automated pruning rules to determine what essential content to preserve, deriving the compact CV variants directly from your master source.
