SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many users need a guided, repeatable way to configure a CV tailoring workflow that reads existing CVs, captures personal and domain-specific preferences, and produces the configuration and writing references the tailoring skill requires. This Skill removes manual setup friction by interactively collecting personal details, domain rules, writing preferences, and ingesting CV variants so the tailoring workflow can run reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive collection of personal details (name, contact, LinkedIn, clearance, additional header info) and writing preferences (spelling, tone, banned words, team framing).
  • Domain and compliance configuration to drive writing-standards and terminology rules for technology, government, defence, healthcare, finance, and other contexts.
  • CV ingestion workflow that converts DOCX to Markdown, inventories variants, and writes references/cv-variants.md to support targeted tailoring.
  • Generation of persistent artifacts: config.yaml, references/writing-standards.md, references/cv-variants.md, and a skills-log.md so downstream tailoring sessions have a complete context.
  • Use case: A user clones the repo, runs the setup, ingests three CV variants, and receives a configured project ready to produce tailored CVs, cover letters, and selection criteria responses without further manual file editing.

Quick Start

Run /cv-setup to collect your details, ingest CV files, and generate config.yaml plus writing-standards.md so the cv-tailoring skill is ready to use.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a CV tailoring workflow from existing DOCX files?

To set up a CV tailoring workflow, run an interactive onboarding process that converts DOCX files to Markdown, inventories CV variants, and generates config.yaml alongside writing-standards.md for downstream use.

Can I configure domain-specific writing standards for government or healthcare CVs?

Yes, you can configure domain-specific writing standards for government, healthcare, finance, and technology CVs by interactively capturing terminology rules, spelling preferences, and tone guidelines during the onboarding setup.

What configuration files are needed to automate CV tailoring?

Automating CV tailoring requires config.yaml for personal details, writing-standards.md for domain rules, cv-variants.md for inventory, and a skills-log.md to provide complete context for downstream tailoring sessions.

How do I ingest and manage multiple CV variants for targeted tailoring?

You can ingest multiple CV variants by running a CV ingestion workflow that converts DOCX to Markdown and writes a variant inventory to references/cv-variants.md, enabling targeted tailoring for different job applications.

Does the CV onboarding process handle compliance terminology and banned words?

Yes, the CV onboarding process handles compliance terminology and banned words by interactively collecting writing preferences, including spelling, tone, team framing, and restricted terms during the initial configuration.

Why do I need to generate a skills log during CV setup?

Generating a skills log during CV setup provides downstream tailoring sessions with complete context of your personal details and configuration, ensuring tailored CVs, cover letters, and selection criteria responses are produced reliably without manual file editing.
