editorial-resume

A Claude Code / Codex skill that turns your context (chat history, GitHub, prior CV, LinkedIn dump) into a single-page A4 PDF resume in editorial bilingual (中/英) style — the kind that lands top-tier tech jobs.

Originally built from @wilson534's own resume which got him into 小红书 as an AI Product Engineer. Now packaged so any LLM agent can produce the same caliber.

The skill produces single-page A4 PDFs that look like the example, populated with your own content.

Installation

Claude Code

Drop this repo into your skills directory. From your shell:

git clone https://github.com/wilson534/editorial-resume ~/.claude/skills/editorial-resume

Then in any Claude Code session, the skill activates automatically when you ask "帮我做简历" / "build my resume" / "export my CV to PDF".

Codex / other agents

The skill is just a Markdown instruction file plus a Python script. Reference SKILL.md from your agent's system prompt, or include it in the project directory.

One-time renderer setup

The PDF renderer needs Playwright with bundled Chromium (the only headless browser that reliably renders CJK on macOS):

pip3 install playwright
python3 -m playwright install chromium

The render script checks for these and prints clear errors if missing.

How it works

1. You ask your agent: "帮我做简历" (or attach a doc and say "polish this into a PDF resume")
2. The agent mines the conversation, attached files, your repo, etc. for the structured fields a resume needs
3. The agent asks at most one bundled question if critical info is genuinely missing — never a 20-question interrogation
4. The agent writes a new resume.html modeled after examples/example-resume.html, filling in your content
5. The render script generates resume.pdf. If it spills past one page, it auto-tightens spacing and retries — up to 6 passes. If still over, it asks you to cut content rather than letting you ship a 1.05-page resume.

Style rules baked in

• Single page A4 — never 2 pages. Density beats whitespace.
• Bilingual mixing — Chinese for sections/labels, English for tech terms (LangChain, Agent, Marketplace...) wrapped in <span class="en-lg"> for typographic harmony.
• No emojis in resume body.
• No filler adjectives ("热爱", "擅长沟通") — replaced with quantified outcomes.
• Bullets lead with verb + outcome: "主导 X 0-1 定义与交付，达成 Y" beats "参与了 X 的工作".
• Numbers > prose: "599 名学生扫描，识别 76 篇有论文记录" beats "扫描了大量论文".

Customization

Most users won't need to touch the template. If you want a different visual:

• Edit the CSS block at the top of the example HTML — fonts, colors, density
• The skill instructs the LLM to copy CSS verbatim, so any change you make there propagates to all generated resumes.
