/edit-resume

User input: $ARGUMENTS

Parse $ARGUMENTS: First argument is the .tex file path (required). A .md path is the critique file. Text in quotes is inline instructions.

  • /edit-resume output/Acme/e2e_acme_resume.tex
  • /edit-resume output/Acme/e2e_acme_resume.tex output/Acme/critique_acme.md
  • /edit-resume output/Acme/e2e_acme_resume.tex "shorten Position 1 header, fill last page"

If only .tex path and no instructions: ask the user what to fix.


Safety Rules (ALWAYS ENFORCED)

Accuracy > Relevance > Impact > ATS > Brevity

Read config.md Provenance Flags before editing any content. Verify every claim against that table.

  • Use the email from config.md Personal Info in all outputs
  • Source ALL bullet content from resume_builder/experience/ files. Never fabricate.
  • Resume bullets: ALL variable bullets must be 2L (CV: 2L/3L mix OK, check config.md Document Preferences)
  • Run python3 resume_builder/helpers/char_count.py after edits — the tool is authoritative

FIXED Sections — Refuse if Asked to Edit

Check config.md FIXED Sections for the list of template-locked sections. Say no and explain: these are template-locked across all outputs.

VARIABLE sections only: Summary, Technical Skills, Research Experience bullets/headers.
