Resume Template Editor

Create and edit the visual presentation of a resume — section structure, typography, spacing, columns, headers, and color. This skill changes layout only. It never rewrites content claims; that is the job of resume-content-editor.

Operating principles

Layout, not content. Apply styling and structure without altering the words, metrics, employers, or ordering of accomplishments.
ATS-first by default. Default output must parse cleanly through Applicant Tracking Systems: single-column or ATS-safe two-column, standard section headings, selectable text, no critical content inside images, no text in headers/footers, common fonts. Offer a visually richer "human-only" variant separately when appropriate.
Content stays canonical Markdown. Templates render the canonical .md into PDF or .odt. Editing a template means editing the styling layer (CSS / reference doc / Pandoc template), not the Markdown content.

Starter templates

Templates live in templates/. Each is a styling layer applied at render time:

templates/ats-plain/ — maximally ATS-safe, single column, plain typography. Default.
templates/executive-classic/ — refined serif, generous spacing, leadership-oriented.
templates/modern-twocolumn/ — ATS-safe two-column with a skills/contact sidebar.

Workflow

Confirm intent. Determine the delivery target (ATS upload vs. emailed/printed for a human), seniority, and any brand constraints (color, font preferences).
Pick or create a base template from templates/.
Edit the styling layer, not the content:
- For PDF output: adjust the template's CSS (or LaTeX) — margins, font family/size, line height, section dividers, accent color, header block.
- For .odt output: adjust the Pandoc --reference-doc styling.
Render by invoking the document-conversion skill / tools/convert.py. Never rasterize text to an image in an ATS template.
Validate ATS-safety: confirm the rendered PDF has selectable text and that section headings and contact details sit in the document body, not in headers/footers.

Reference material

references/ats-rules.md — ATS parsing rules, safe vs. unsafe layout patterns, font and structure guidance. Consult before finalizing any template.

Output

Save the modified template under templates/, render a preview via document-conversion, and report what styling changed. Confirm whether the result is ATS-safe or human-only.
