CV PDF Generator

Generate professional PDFs from tailored cv.md files in the Boulot vault. Replaces Wozber entirely — same ATS-friendly layout, zero manual steps.

When To Activate

- User says "/pdf" followed by user and company name - User asks to "generate the PDF", "build the CV", "export the CV" - User asks to "make the PDF" or "create the CV file" - After a /cv tailoring run, when the user wants the final output - Examples: "/pdf user granola", "generate the Granola CV PDF"

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the CV

Parse the user's request to determine:

• User: the user folder name (case-insensitive)
• Company: the company name matching a folder in USER/active/{company}/

The CV markdown file should exist at:

{vault-root}/USER/active/{company}/cv.md
{vault-root}/USER/active/{company}/cv.md

If no cv.md exists, inform the user and offer to run /cv to create one.

Step 2: Generate the PDF (zero installs)

The generator needs nothing installed — no npm install, no puppeteer, no weasyprint. It writes the HTML itself and renders the PDF with a browser the user already has (Chrome, Brave, Edge…). Prefer Node; fall back to Python:

# Preferred — runs on bare Node, no npm install:
cd <skill-path>/scripts && node generate-pdf.mjs "<path-to-cv.md>" "<output-path.pdf>"

# If `node` isn't available, use Python (stdlib only):
cd <skill-path>/scripts && python3 generate-pdf.py "<path-to-cv.md>" "<output-path.pdf>"

If neither node nor python3 exists (a bare machine), don't send the user off to install a runtime. Instead:

1. Read the cv.md and write the styled HTML yourself into <output-dir>/cv.html, using the exact CSS template already in generate-pdf.mjs (copy the <style> block and the header/section markup so the layout matches Wozber).
2. Run the renderer directly: bash <skill-path>/scripts/render-pdf.sh "<cv.html>" "<output.pdf>".

About render-pdf.sh: it finds an installed browser and prints the PDF headlessly — no download. If the machine has no browser at all, it opens the HTML and exits with code 2; tell the user to press ⌘P → Save as PDF. The happy path (any normal machine) always produces a real PDF with no setup.

Output filename format: {Name} - {Company} - {Role}.pdf

• Name from the first # line in cv.md
• Company from the folder name (title-cased)
• Role from the subtitle or job context

Place the output in the same directory as the cv.md:

USER/active/{company}/{Name} - {Company} - {Role}.pdf

Step 4: Open for Review

open "<output-path.pdf>"

Tell the user the file location and size.

Format Spec (Wozber Match)

The PDF matches Wozber's ATS-friendly template:

• Font: Rubik (Google Fonts)
• Header: Name + subtitle left, contact with green icons right
• Section headers: S P A C E D C A P S with dotted underline
• Experience: Role title bold left, dates right, company below lighter
• Education: Course name bold left, dates right, institution below
• Skills: 2-column grid
• Languages: 4-column grid (name, level pairs)
• Margins: 18mm sides, 18mm top, 14mm bottom

CV Markdown Format

The generator expects this structure in cv.md:

## Languages

English: Native | French: Intermediate

NEVER

• Fabricate CV content — only generate from existing cv.md
• Change the cv.md content during generation
• Generate without a cv.md existing first

ALWAYS

• Confirm output file was created and its size
• Open the file for review after generation
• Place the PDF in the same folder as the cv.md
