The Pipeline: 4 Phases

PHASE 1 — INTAKE & EXTRACTION (Smart Auto)

Goal: Extract every valuable data point from the source CV.

1. Read the CV in whatever format provided (PDF, DOCX, TXT, image, pasted text)

   • For PDFs: use pdfplumber or pypdf for text extraction
   • For DOCX: use pandoc or unpack XML
   • For images: describe what you see and ask the user to confirm
   • For pasted text: parse structure directly

2. Build the Candidate Profile JSON — extract and organize:

   - Full name, contact info, location
   - Professional headline / current title
   - Career summary / objective
   - Work experience (company, title, dates, responsibilities, achievements)
   - Education (institution, degree, dates, honors)
   - Skills (technical, soft, tools, platforms)
   - Certifications & licenses
   - Languages
   - Publications, patents, speaking engagements
   - Volunteer work, side projects
   - Awards & recognitions
   

3. Identify gaps — flag missing but valuable information:

   • Quantified achievements (%, $, metrics)
   • Tool/platform proficiency levels
   • Certifications that might exist but aren't listed
   • Career progression narrative gaps

PHASE 2 — ONLINE RESEARCH & ENRICHMENT

Goal: Discover public information about the candidate to enrich the CV.

Use web search to find: [EXPLICIT]

• LinkedIn profile — additional roles, endorsements, recommendations
• Published work — articles, talks, open source contributions
• Company context — what the companies they worked at do (to write better descriptions)
• Industry keywords — trending skills and terms in their field
• Target role requirements — if they mention a target job/company, research it

Save findings as enrichment data. Do NOT fabricate — only add verifiable public information. [EXPLICIT]

PHASE 3 — CONFIRMATION & STRATEGY

Goal: Present findings and confirm with the user before generating.

Show the user a structured summary: [EXPLICIT]

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Ask the user to: [EXPLICIT]

1. Confirm accuracy of extracted data
2. Fill in any gaps (especially quantified achievements)
3. Specify target role/industry if not already clear
4. Choose language for outputs (or keep original)
5. Any special requests or preferences

PHASE 4 — GENERATION (The 8 Outputs)

Once confirmed, generate all 8 outputs. Read the reference files before generating: [EXPLICIT]

• Before DOCX outputs → Read the docx skill's SKILL.md for docx-js patterns
• Before HTML outputs → Use the HTML template specs in references/html-templates.md
• Before PPTX outputs → Read the pptx skill's SKILL.md for pptxgenjs patterns
• For design specs → Read references/design-specs.md
• For ATS optimization → Read references/ats-guide.md
• For content writing → Read references/content-guide.md

WOW Versions — Design Philosophy

The WOW versions are for human eyes. They should make a recruiter stop scrolling and pay attention. [EXPLICIT]

Design principles:

• Bold color accent (one signature color derived from the candidate's industry)
• Modern typography: header font with personality + clean body font
• Visual hierarchy: name dominates, then headline, then experience
• Micro-infographics: skill bars, timeline visualizations, metric callouts
• Whitespace as a design element — breathing room signals confidence
• One distinctive visual motif carried across all WOW outputs

WOW DOCX — Two-column layout, colored sidebar with skills/contact, main area with experience. Professional photo placeholder. Section dividers with accent color.

WOW HTML — Single-page responsive site. Smooth scroll navigation. Animated skill bars. Hover effects on experience cards. Print-friendly CSS. Dark/light theme toggle. Include the full HTML + CSS + JS in one file.

WOW PPTX — Each major section is a slide. Hero slide with name + photo placeholder + headline. Experience as visual timeline. Skills as icon grid. Dark background with accent color pops.

---

ATS Versions — Optimization Philosophy

The ATS versions are for machine parsing. They must score 90%+ on ATS compatibility. [EXPLICIT]

ATS rules (non-negotiable):

• Single-column layout, no tables, no text boxes, no graphics
• Standard section headers: "Professional Experience", "Education", "Skills", "Certifications"
• Reverse chronological order
• Standard fonts: Calibri, Arial, or Garamond at 10-12pt
• .docx format preferred (best ATS parsing)
• No headers/footers (many ATS skip these)
• Keywords from target role woven naturally into content
• Both acronyms AND full terms (e.g., "SEO (Search Engine Optimization)")
• Bullet points with quantified achievements (70%+ should have metrics)
• Contact info in the body, not in header/footer

ATS DOCX — Clean, single-column. Name at top (16pt bold), then contact line, then sections. Each bullet starts with a power verb. Keywords density matches target role.

ATS HTML — Semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy. No JavaScript. No CSS that hides text. Schema.org markup for structured data. Clean, readable even without CSS.

ATS PPTX — Text-heavy slides with standard formatting. Useful for recruiter presentations and internal candidate reviews. Clean, no animations.

Cover Letter

Generate a compelling, tailored cover letter that: [EXPLICIT]

• Opens with a hook (not "I am writing to apply for...")
• Tells a story connecting the candidate's experience to the target role
• Highlights 2-3 most relevant achievements with metrics
• Shows knowledge of the company (from research phase)
• Closes with confidence and a clear call to action
• Matches the tone of the CV language (formal/casual, EN/ES)

Deliver as .docx with clean formatting. [EXPLICIT]

---

LinkedIn Profile

Generate optimized sections: [EXPLICIT]

• Headline (120 chars max): Beyond just title — include value prop and keywords
• About (2600 chars max): First-person narrative, keyword-rich first 3 lines (visible above "see more"), achievement-focused
• Experience entries: Rewritten for LinkedIn's format (shorter paragraphs, more scannable)
• Skills list: Top 50 keywords for endorsement optimization

Deliver as .md with clear section markers. [EXPLICIT]

Content Transformation Rules

When rewriting CV content, apply these transformations: [EXPLICIT]

Achievement Formula

WEAK:  "Responsible for managing the sales team" [EXPLICIT]
STRONG: "Led 12-person sales team to 145% quota attainment ($3.2M ARR), [EXPLICIT]
         implementing data-driven coaching that reduced ramp time by 40%"

Pattern: [Power Verb] + [Scope/Scale] + [Result with Metric] + [Method/How]

Power Verbs by Category

Read references/content-guide.md for the complete list, organized by: [EXPLICIT]

• Leadership: Spearheaded, Orchestrated, Championed, Pioneered
• Achievement: Exceeded, Outperformed, Surpassed, Accelerated
• Technical: Architected, Engineered, Automated, Optimized
• Growth: Scaled, Expanded, Launched, Grew
• Efficiency: Streamlined, Consolidated, Reduced, Eliminated

Quantification Guide

• Revenue/savings → Dollar amounts ($, €, etc.)
• Efficiency → Percentage improvement (%)
• Scale → Team size, user count, transaction volume
• Time → Speed improvements, deadline adherence
• Quality → Error reduction, satisfaction scores
