resume-tailor

resume-tailor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tam159/next-role. It costs 72 tokens per session (5,810 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A resume-editing workflow for tailoring one candidate's resume to one job description. It creates an editable RenderCV YAML source file and a PDF, while keeping the candidate's experience truthful.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a processed resume, job description, optional intake notes, and a hiring-research report. It helps choose a resume style and language, write the tailored YAML, and render the final PDF.
Why use it?
Generic resumes may not reflect the wording and priorities of a specific role. This workflow reorganizes relevant experience and uses job-related terms without adding unsupported claims.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

resume-tailor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resume Tailor

Rewrite the candidate's resume to land an interview for one specific role at one specific company, using the hiring-recon report as the priority signal, then render it to a typeset PDF.

Inputs

The caller passes exact paths in the task description:

  • resume_path — the candidate's processed resume (markdown)
  • jd_path — the processed job description (markdown)
  • intake_path — optional intake notes
  • research_path — the hiring-recon report
  • yaml_path — where to write the tailored resume YAML (must be under /tailored_resume/, ending .yaml)

Read all input files in full with read_file(path, limit=1000).

Workflow (3 steps, in order)

  1. Decide theme and locale.

    • If the user (in intake_path or the task description) explicitly named a built-in theme, honour it. Otherwise: scan the resume for engineering signals (engineer / developer / Python / SRE / MLOps / data / backend / frontend / DevOps / cloud architect / …). Engineering → engineeringclassic. Else → classic.
    • Detect resume language. If it matches a built-in locale, use it. If unsure or the language is not built-in, use english.
  2. Write the YAML to yaml_path via write_file. Include cv:, design: (just theme:), and locale: (just language:). Prepend a # changes: comment block summarising what you tailored. Do NOT write a settings: section — the next step injects it.

    Quoting rule (the #1 render-failure source): double-quote ANY string value that contains a colon followed by a space — headlines, summaries, highlights, titles, everywhere (- "Strongest where AI meets execution: reusable patterns"). Unquoted, YAML silently parses the entry as a mapping and rendercv fails with Input should be a valid string. Same for strings ending in : and bare numbers (label: "2022", phone: "+15551234567"). When in doubt, quote — quoted strings are never wrong.

  3. Render & publish: call render_resume_pdf(yaml_path) with the same backend path you wrote to in step 2. One call does the whole pipeline — it injects the canonical settings: block into an internal render copy (never into your YAML), runs rendercv render, and publishes <stem>.pdf next to the YAML. Do NOT run rendercv via execute and do NOT write a settings: block yourself. If the result starts with Error (render):, read the rendercv output it contains, fix the YAML with edit_file or write_file, then call render_resume_pdf(yaml_path) again (idempotent — the PDF is overwritten).
