Resume intake
Build or improve a job seeker's resume.md source file from conversational career input. Use when the user wants to create resume.md, organize new-grad or experienced career history, convert raw experiences into STAR/CAR evidence, add missing metrics, or prepare reusable career evidence for cover letters and job applications.From its SKILL.md

Resume Intake
Use this skill to turn raw career material into a structured resume.md that
other give-me-job skills can trust.
Trigger
Use this skill when resume.md is missing, thin, outdated, or lacks evidence that can support a Korean cover letter.
Do Not Trigger
Do not use this skill when the user already has a usable resume.md and only needs JD analysis, cover letter drafting, HR review, or packaging.
Autonomy Level
DoF: LOW
Follow user-provided facts only. Do not infer missing employers, dates, metrics, awards, tools, responsibilities, or outcomes.
Permitted inferences:
- Career type from stated graduation date, work history, or years of experience.
- Evidence strength from specificity, role clarity, and observable result.
Prohibited inferences:
- Do not upgrade a school project into professional work.
- Do not turn participation into ownership unless the user says they owned the work.
Input Contract
Required context:
- Raw career material from the user or an existing
resume.md.
Optional context:
- Target role, target company, JD, or desired cover-letter questions.
Required parameters:
target_role: target role when available, otherwiseunknown.career_type:new-grad,experienced, orunknown.
Outputs produced:
resume.mddraft, a patch/update plan, or focused follow-up questions.
Workflow
- Read
references/resume-schema.mdbefore creating or rewritingresume.md. - Determine whether the user is
new-grad,experienced, or stillunknown. - Read an existing
resume.mdif present. Preserve valid facts, but migrate oldProfile,Core Summary,Experience Bank, orWork Historystructures into the canonical sections. - Create or update the metadata block:
last-updated: today's datecareer-type:new-gradorexperiencedtarget-role: target role orUnknownintake-version: increment the existing value, or use1
- Collect raw experiences in the user's language first. Do not force every field before making progress, but ask for missing facts that materially affect evidence quality.
- Build the canonical top-level sections in this order:
Personal InfoTarget RoleSummaryWork Experiencefor experienced candidates, or for new graduates only when they have relevant work/internship/part-time experienceProjectsEducationSkillsCertificates & Awardsonly when relevant
- Split work and project material into STAR/CAR bullets:
- action verb
- what was done
- method, scale, or constraints
- measurable or observable result
- End every work role and project entry with exactly one strength comment:
<!-- strength: High -->,<!-- strength: Medium -->, or<!-- strength: Low -->. - Write
Summarylast. If any core work/project evidence remainsLow, do not polish a final summary; leavePending stronger evidence.and ask follow-up questions. - Keep claims factual. Do not invent company names, numbers, responsibilities, awards, links, tools, or outcomes.
New Grad Focus
Emphasize project depth, learning speed, role clarity, problem solving,
collaboration, and job relevance. Projects is required even when work
experience is absent. If metrics are weak, strengthen the explanation of
process, decision making, and learning without pretending there was business
impact.
Experienced Focus
Separate responsibility from achievement. Work Experience is required for
experienced candidates. Emphasize role scope, measurable result, business
impact, cross-functional work, decision making, and repeatable contribution.
Schema Decisions
Adopt the canonical resume-style structure in references/resume-schema.md.
Do not create a separate Experience Bank for new intake. Existing downstream
skills can cite evidence by section, entry title, and bullet number. If an old
resume already has stable IDs such as EXP-001, preserve them only as legacy
references while migrating the content into Work Experience or Projects.
Treat missing contact fields and profile links as intake gaps. Ask for them or mark them clearly as missing; do not fabricate placeholder URLs, phone numbers, schools, employers, or metrics.
Output
Return one of these:
- a complete
resume.mddraft using the canonical schema - a patch/update plan for the existing
resume.md - focused follow-up questions when evidence is too weak or required personal info is missing
Use references/resume-schema.md for the canonical structure.
Fallback
If the user gives too little information, ask for 3 short prompts:
- target role
- strongest project or work experience
- one measurable or observable result
