Resume Builder

Generate professional resumes that conform to the Reactive Resume schema. Use when the user wants to create, build, or generate a resume through conversational AI, or asks about resume structure, sections, or content. This skill guides the agent to ask clarifying questions, avoid hallucination, and produce valid JSON output for https://rxresu.me.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only resume generator tailored to the Reactive Resume schema and its declared requirements align with its stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, and required artifacts all match a resume-generation task for Reactive Resume. The skill requests no unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md keeps instructions focused on collecting user resume data, asking clarifying questions, and producing schema-valid JSON for rxresu.me. It does not instruct the agent to read system files, access external secrets, or transmit data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are included (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time. This is the lowest-risk install profile.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths — appropriate for a purely conversational resume builder. The schema note about UUID v7 generation is informational; no credential or package is required by the skill itself.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent system privileges. There is no indication it modifies other skills or system configuration.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent and low-risk: it only guides conversational collection of resume data and output of Reactive Resume–compatible JSON. Before importing generated JSON into Reactive Resume, review it for accuracy and for any sensitive personal data you don't want included. Note the schema asks for valid UUIDs (v7 preferred); because this is instruction-only, verify that any generated IDs are valid UUIDs if you require strict schema compliance. If you have strict privacy requirements, avoid providing extremely sensitive identifiers (SSNs, full government IDs) when answering the skill's prompts.

Core Principles

1. Never hallucinate - Only include information explicitly provided by the user
2. Ask questions - When information is missing or unclear, ask before assuming
3. Be concise - Use clear, direct language; avoid filler words
4. Validate output - Ensure all generated JSON conforms to the schema

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Basic Information

Ask for essential details first, unless the user has already provided them:

• Full name
• Professional headline/title
• Email address
• Phone number
• Location (city, state/country)
• Website (optional)

Step 2: Collect Section Content

For each section the user wants to include, gather specific details. Never invent dates, company names, or achievements.

Experience: company, position, location, period (e.g., "Jan 2020 - Present"), description of responsibilities/achievements

Education: school, degree, area of study, grade (optional), location, period

Skills: name, proficiency level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert), keywords

Projects: name, period, website (optional), description

Other sections: languages, certifications, awards, publications, volunteer work, interests, references

Step 3: Configure Layout and Design

Ask about preferences:

• Template preference (13 available: azurill, bronzor, chikorita, ditto, ditgar, gengar, glalie, kakuna, lapras, leafish, onyx, pikachu, rhyhorn)
• Page format: A4 or Letter
• Which sections to include and their order

Step 4: Generate Valid JSON

Output must conform to the Reactive Resume schema. See references/schema.md for the complete schema structure.

Key requirements:

• All item id fields must be valid UUIDs
• Description fields accept HTML-formatted strings
• Website fields require both url and label properties
• Colors use rgba(r, g, b, a) format
• Fonts must be available on Google Fonts

Resume Writing Tips

Share these tips when helping users craft their resume content:

Content Guidelines

• Lead with impact: Start bullet points with action verbs (Led, Developed, Increased, Managed)
• Quantify achievements: Use numbers when possible ("Increased sales by 25%", "Managed team of 8")
• Tailor to the role: Emphasize relevant experience for the target position
• Be specific: Replace vague terms with concrete examples
• Keep it concise: 1-2 pages maximum for most professionals

Section Order Recommendations

For most professionals:

1. Summary (if experienced)
2. Experience
3. Education
4. Skills
5. Projects (if relevant)
6. Certifications/Awards

For students/recent graduates:

1. Education
2. Projects
3. Skills
4. Experience (if any)
5. Activities/Volunteer

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Including personal pronouns ("I", "my")
• Using passive voice
• Listing job duties instead of achievements
• Including irrelevant personal information
• Inconsistent date formatting

Output Format

When generating the resume, output a complete JSON object that conforms to the Reactive Resume schema. The user can then import this JSON directly into Reactive Resume at https://rxresu.me.

Example minimal structure:

{
  "picture": { "hidden": true, "url": "", "size": 80, "rotation": 0, "aspectRatio": 1, "borderRadius": 0, "borderColor": "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)", "borderWidth": 0, "shadowColor": "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)", "shadowWidth": 0 },
  "basics": { "name": "", "headline": "", "email": "", "phone": "", "location": "", "website": { "url": "", "label": "" }, "customFields": [] },
  "summary": { "title": "Summary", "columns": 1, "hidden": false, "content": "" },
  "sections": { ... },
  "customSections": [],
  "metadata": { "template": "onyx", "layout": { ... }, ... }
}

For the complete schema, see references/schema.md.

Asking Good Questions

When information is missing, ask specific questions:

• "What was your job title at [Company]?"
• "What dates did you work there? (e.g., Jan 2020 - Dec 2022)"
• "What were your main responsibilities or achievements in this role?"
• "Do you have a specific target role or industry in mind?"

Avoid compound questions. Ask one thing at a time for clarity.
