Generate Resume

Tailor an existing resume to a specific role without inventing experience, flattening the candidate's voice, or silently modifying the source document.

Most resume generators start from a job description and produce plausible copy. That is also how unsupported metrics, inflated ownership, and generic keyword soup get introduced. Generate Resume starts from a different constraint: every material claim must trace to candidate-approved evidence.

Install

Ask your agent:

Install the generate-resume skill from https://github.com/mifisher/generate-resume

Or install it with the Skills CLI:

npx skills add mifisher/generate-resume --skill generate-resume --global --yes

Use

Provide a job description, your baseline resume, and an evidence source such as an accomplishment bank or verified career history:

Use $generate-resume to tailor my baseline resume to this product lead role.

Job description: <URL or pasted text>
Baseline: <file or document link>
Evidence: <file, folder, or document link>
Constraints: one page, preserve the existing layout

The skill will:

1. Extract the role's highest-value requirements.
2. Map them to direct evidence, adjacent experience, or genuine gaps.
3. Propose a reviewable change manifest with evidence for each material claim.
4. Wait for approval before creating or changing a document.
5. Fork the baseline, apply the approved edits, and verify the rendered result when tools permit.

It never submits an application.

What makes it different

• Evidence before polish. New metrics, credentials, and ownership claims require a traceable source.
• Gaps stay gaps. Transferable experience is framed honestly instead of being upgraded into direct experience.
• The baseline stays clean. The skill creates a fork and never edits the canonical resume in place.
• Approval before mutation. You see the summary, skills, bullet changes, reasons, and evidence before a final document is created.
• Rendered-output verification. Page count and formatting are claims to verify, not assumptions.
• Tool-neutral operation. Google Docs, Word, local files, and other document systems can work when the agent has the corresponding capability.

Use with Job Search OS

Job Search OS manages the broader workflow: role discovery, company records, pipeline state, follow-ups, and a resume edit manifest. Generate Resume handles the evidence-backed document transformation.

Job Search OS                         Generate Resume

record resume_ref        ◀─────────  create and verify the fork

They are independent projects. Use Generate Resume by itself with any baseline and evidence source, or connect it to a private Job Search OS instance using the included integration reference.
