# Resume Formatter
Generate professional resumes with consistent styling and PDF output.
## Quick Start
1. Create/update resume content (markdown or direct HTML)
2. Apply the HTML template from `assets/resume_template.html`
3. Generate PDF using `scripts/generate_pdf.py`
## Workflow
### Creating a New Resume
1. **Gather requirements**: Job description, target company, role title
2. **Draft content** in markdown with sections: Profile, Experience, Skills, Education
3. **Convert to HTML** using the template structure from `assets/resume_template.html`
4. **Generate PDF**: `python scripts/generate_pdf.py resume.html -o resume.pdf`
### Updating Existing Resume
1. Read the existing HTML file
2. Modify content sections as needed
3. Regenerate PDF
## Template Structure
The HTML template uses these CSS classes:
| Element | Class | Purpose |
|---------|-------|---------|
| Page wrapper | `.container` | Centers content, sets max-width |
| Name/contact | `.header`, `.contact-info` | Centered header section |
| Section titles | `.section-header` | Blue-accented section headers |
| Profile text | `.profile` | Summary paragraph |
| Job entry | `.role-card` | Blue left-border card for each role |
| Job title row | `.job-header`, `.job-title`, `.company-name`, `.location-date` | Flex layout |
| Achievements | `.achievements li` | Blue arrow bullets with `<strong>` headlines |
| Metrics box | `.scale-snapshot` | Highlighted metrics summary |
| Skills | `.skills-grid`, `.skill-category`, `.skill-label`, `.skill-items` | Inline label + items |
| Education | `.education-entry`, `.degree`, `.university`, `.years` | Stacked text |
### Experience Card Pattern
```html
<div class="role-card">
<div class="job-header">
<div class="job-title-company">
<h3 class="job-title">Head of Engineering</h3>
<span class="company-name">Company Name</span>
</div>
<div class="location-date">London, UK • May 2023–Present</div>
</div>
<ul class="achievements">
<li><strong>Achievement headline</strong>: Description with metrics and impact.</li>
</ul>
<div class="scale-snapshot">
Scale snapshot: £Xm revenue • Ym customers • Zm engineers
</div>
</div>
```
### Skills Category Pattern
```html
<div class="skill-category">
<span class="skill-label">Category Name:</span>
<span class="skill-items">Skill 1, Skill 2, Skill 3</span>
</div>
```
## PDF Generation
**Prerequisite**: `pip install weasyprint`
```bash
# Basic usage
python scripts/generate_pdf.py resume.html
# Custom output path
python scripts/generate_pdf.py resume.html -o output/my_resume.pdf
```
The script:
- Applies A4 page size with optimized margins
- Preserves colors for print
- Reports page count (target: 2-3 pages)
- Handles natural page breaks
## Content Guidelines
### Profile Section
- 3-4 sentences summarizing expertise
- Tailor terminology to target role/industry
- Include scale indicators (team size, revenue, customers)
### Experience Bullets
- Start with `<strong>Bold headline</strong>:` pattern
- Include quantified metrics where possible
- Focus on impact and outcomes, not just responsibilities
### Scale Snapshot
- Use for most recent/significant roles only
- Include: revenue, customers, team size, key metrics
- Keep to single line
For detailed content guidance, see `references/content-guidelines.md`.

token-usage
Show Claude Code token usage across sessions — daily, weekly, per-project, and per-session breakdowns. Parses {{HOME_TOOL_DIR}}/projects/**/*.jsonl for consumption data. Use when the user asks about token usage, costs, how many tokens were used, session statistics, or wants a usage report.
tmux-status
Show status of all tmux sessions including dev environments, spawned agents, and running processes
tmux-monitor
Monitor and report status of all tmux sessions including dev environments, spawned agents, and running processes. Uses tmuxwatch for enhanced visibility.
tmux-message
Reliable peer-to-peer message delivery to other Claude Code instances via tmux send-keys. Use as a fallback when claude-peers MCP send_message fails to surface in the receiver's inbox (delivered server-side but receiver never picks it up — observed behaviour). Also use when sending a directive to a known Claude Code TUI session by tmux session name or fuzzy hint, or when injecting a multi-line directive into a peer's prompt and submitting it. Trigger phrases — "claude-peers fallback", "tmux send-keys", "send to peer via tmux", "inject directive", "deliver to nanoclaw/hermes peer", "peer message". Tmux-only — won't reach peers running outside tmux.
test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle with test-first approach.
test-ainb
Run tests for the ainb (agents-in-a-box) Rust workspace via a 5-layer strategy — unit, insta snapshot, mock-plugin compositing, real-plugin spawn, vhs recording. Wraps cargo + insta + vhs into one CLI. Use when Stevie says "/test-ainb", "test ainb", "run ainb tests", "snapshot <component>", "regenerate vhs tapes", or any phrasing about validating ainb test layers. The skill autodetects which ainb-tui worktree the cwd sits in and dispatches to scripts/run.sh.
