Iterative Chain (Loop)

tailored-resume-generator → resume-ats-optimizer → [if score < 80%: back to tailoring] → finalize

2. Runs resume-bullet-writer on each bullet
3. Runs resume-quantifier to add missing metrics
4. Runs resume-formatter for layout improvements
5. Presents enhanced resume

Example 3: Career Change

User: "I'm a teacher wanting to move into corporate training"

3. Runs job-description-analyzer on sample training roles

Best Practices

1. Always start with job analysis before tailoring - don't waste effort on poor-fit roles
2. Use specialized skills for specific needs - don't force generic tailoring when executive/academic/tech optimizations exist
3. Chain skills intelligently - run ATS check after tailoring, not before
4. Preserve user's voice - enhancement skills should improve, not rewrite, the user's experience
5. Validate before delivering - always run ATS check and format verification on final output
6. Track versions - use resume-version-manager to avoid confusion when applying to multiple roles
