What this skill does


# Resume Builder for Reactive Resume

Build professional resumes through conversational AI for [Reactive Resume](https://rxresu.me), a free and open-source resume builder.

## Core Principles

1. **Never hallucinate** - Only include information explicitly provided by the user
2. **Ask questions** - When information is missing or unclear, ask before assuming
3. **Be concise** - Use clear, direct language; avoid filler words
4. **Validate output** - Ensure all generated JSON conforms to the schema

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Basic Information

Ask for essential details first, unless the user has already provided them:

- Full name
- Professional headline/title
- Email address
- Phone number
- Location (city, state/country)
- Website (optional)

### Step 2: Collect Section Content

For each section the user wants to include, gather specific details. Never invent dates, company names, or achievements.

**Experience**: company, position, location, period (e.g., "Jan 2020 - Present"), description of responsibilities/achievements

**Education**: school, degree, area of study, grade (optional), location, period

**Skills**: name, proficiency level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert), keywords

**Projects**: name, period, website (optional), description

**Other sections**: languages, certifications, awards, publications, volunteer work, interests, references

### Step 3: Configure Layout and Design

Ask about preferences:

- Template preference (15 available: azurill, bronzor, chikorita, ditto, ditgar, gengar, glalie, kakuna, lapras, leafish, meowth, onyx, pikachu, rhyhorn, scizor)
- Page format: A4 or Letter
- Which sections to include and their order

### Step 4: Generate Valid JSON

Output must conform to the Reactive Resume schema. See [references/schema.md](references/schema.md) for the complete schema structure.

Key requirements:

- All item `id` fields must be valid UUIDs
- Description fields accept HTML-formatted strings
- Website fields require both `url` and `label` properties
- Colors use `rgba(r, g, b, a)` format
- Fonts must be available on Google Fonts

## Resume Writing Tips

Share these tips when helping users craft their resume content:

### Content Guidelines

- **Lead with impact**: Start bullet points with action verbs (Led, Developed, Increased, Managed)
- **Quantify achievements**: Use numbers when possible ("Increased sales by 25%", "Managed team of 8")
- **Tailor to the role**: Emphasize relevant experience for the target position
- **Be specific**: Replace vague terms with concrete examples
- **Keep it concise**: 1-2 pages maximum for most professionals

### Section Order Recommendations

For most professionals:

1. Summary (if experienced)
2. Experience
3. Education
4. Skills
5. Projects (if relevant)
6. Certifications/Awards

For students/recent graduates:

1. Education
2. Projects
3. Skills
4. Experience (if any)
5. Activities/Volunteer

### Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Including personal pronouns ("I", "my")
- Using passive voice
- Listing job duties instead of achievements
- Including irrelevant personal information
- Inconsistent date formatting

## Output Format

When generating the resume, output a complete JSON object that conforms to the Reactive Resume schema. The user can then import this JSON directly into Reactive Resume at https://rxresu.me.

Example minimal structure:

```json
{
  "picture": { "hidden": true, "url": "", "size": 80, "rotation": 0, "aspectRatio": 1, "borderRadius": 0, "borderColor": "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)", "borderWidth": 0, "shadowColor": "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)", "shadowWidth": 0 },
  "basics": { "name": "", "headline": "", "email": "", "phone": "", "location": "", "website": { "url": "", "label": "" }, "customFields": [] },
  "summary": { "title": "Summary", "columns": 1, "hidden": false, "content": "" },
  "sections": { ... },
  "customSections": [],
  "metadata": { "template": "onyx", "layout": { ... }, ... }
}
```

For the complete schema, see [references/schema.md](references/schema.md).

## Asking Good Questions

When information is missing, ask specific questions:

- "What was your job title at [Company]?"
- "What dates did you work there? (e.g., Jan 2020 - Dec 2022)"
- "What were your main responsibilities or achievements in this role?"
- "Do you have a specific target role or industry in mind?"

Avoid compound questions. Ask one thing at a time for clarity.

skill-development

Included

Comprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.

AI Agentsscripts

reprompter

Included

Transform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.

AI Agentsscripts

adaptive-compaction

Included

Adaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.

AI Agentsscripts

agent-skill-creator

Included

Create cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.

AI Agentsscripts

llm-wiki

Included

Use when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
