SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the confusion and rework caused by having multiple resume drafts (master vs tailored versions) without knowing which one is current, correct, and sent to each employer.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Master resume as the source of truth: Centralize all experiences, bullets, skills, and achievements so tailored resumes can be built consistently.
  • Tailored version tracking by role: Organize role/industry/seniority-specific versions (e.g., Product Management vs Software Engineering) so the right content is reused for each application.
  • Application workflow and naming conventions: Maintain a structured folder layout and file naming scheme, plus an application tracker to record which version was used and when.
  • Update workflow to prevent drift: Add new accomplishments to the master immediately, then generate tailored versions using selected bullets and appropriate summary/skills ordering.

Quick Start

Ask the resume-version-manager skill to produce an updated master resume status report and a tailored resume plan for a specific target role, including the naming convention and which sections/bullets to select from the master.
