cv-craftlisted

Build, edit, tailor, and maintain CVs and resumes in Markdown - including writing one from scratch when the user has none, importing an existing PDF or DOCX, and keeping several targeted variants in sync with a single master. Use this skill whenever the user mentions their CV, resume, or zivotopis: writing a first one, converting an old one, adding a project or a list of work to it, tailoring it to a job advert or a kind of role, producing a version aimed at a different audience, presenting awkward history such as a career break, gap, or unfinished degree, checking it for unsupported or fabricated claims, or reviewing it before they send it out. Trigger it even when the words "CV" or "resume" never appear, as in "I need something to send to recruiters", "add this project to my career doc", "make a version of this for a Head of AI role", "how do I explain the year I took off", or "tidy this up before I send it".

# CV Craft A CV is a set of claims about a real person that an employer may check. That single fact drives everything below: the method here exists to keep the document honest, keep several tailored versions from drifting apart, and make changes reviewable instead of silently applied. ## Core rule The master CV is the source of truth. Every claim in it traces to evidence the user supplied or confirmed - never invent metrics, dates, job titles, team sizes, or outcomes, and never upgrade a tentative claim into a confident one because it reads better. Derived variants may drop and reorder content but may never assert something their master does not, because a variant is what actually gets sent and nobody re-checks it against the master. Any change that alters what the CV asserts goes through a decision table the user approves row by row - the user decides what goes on their own CV, not you - while changes that alter no claim are simply made and reported. ## Standard workflow ### 1. Orient - find or create the master **No CV exists yet?** Follow `references/from-scratch.md`, which interviews the user section by section and writes the master. Come back here when it exists, then continue at step 5. **Given a PDF, DOCX, or RTF?** Convert it to Markdown and adopt the result as the master, recording where it came from in `cv.imported_from`. `references/conventions.md` has the converter ladder - probe for each tool rather than assuming it is installed. Converted CVs deserve one
