Overview

This skill generates and improves developer resumes from a short prompt. It converts experience and role intent into a professional, editable markdown resume that highlights technical skills, action verbs, and quantified achievements. It’s designed to be zero-config and fast for job hunting workflows.

How this skill works

Provide a short description of your role, experience, and key technologies. The tool analyzes the input, selects relevant sections (summary, experience, skills, education), and produces a polished markdown resume with targeted bullet points and metrics. It outputs a ready-to-edit file so you can quickly customize for specific job applications.

When to use it

  • Starting a job search and you need a resume baseline
  • Updating an outdated resume with modern formatting and keywords
  • Customizing resumes for different roles (frontend, backend, fullstack, ML)
  • Preparing a concise one-page resume for recruiters or ATS screening
  • Converting a short experience summary into action-oriented, quantified bullets

Best practices

  • Provide concise, specific input with role, years, and key technologies
  • Include measurable outcomes (percentages, KPIs, timelines) to strengthen bullets
  • Match keywords from job descriptions to improve ATS relevance
  • Keep the final resume to one page for most roles; use two pages only for extensive senior experience
  • Edit the generated markdown to customize tone and remove irrelevant items

Example use cases

  • Generate a senior fullstack resume: “senior fullstack engineer, 5 years React, Node.js, AWS”
  • Create a junior frontend resume and export to file: “junior frontend dev, 1 year Vue.js”
  • Shift focus for a career change: “backend engineer transitioning to ML, Python, PyTorch”
  • Produce an ATS-friendly version by including job description keywords in your prompt
  • Quickly iterate application-specific resumes by regenerating with varied focus areas
