| name | intake-profile |
| description | Use when a user has no profile/master.json yet and needs to create one — bootstraps the canonical master profile either by interviewing the user (no existing resume) or by importing an old PDF/CV/LinkedIn export. Triggers on "set up my resume", "I'm starting from scratch", "import my old CV". |
Intake Profile
Produce profile/master.json: the candidate's full, truthful career history in
JSON Resume shape. This is the source of truth the tailor-resume skill draws
from.
Choose a path
Ask the user which they have:
- Nothing written down → follow
.claude/skills/intake-profile/references/interview-guide.md.
- An old resume/CV (PDF or DOCX) or a LinkedIn export → follow
.claude/skills/intake-profile/references/import-guide.md.
Rules
- Capture the FULL history (every role, project, skill) —
master.json is the
superset; tailoring prunes later. Bias toward including more.
- Record only what the user actually did. Do not embellish. If a detail is
unclear (a date, a title), ask rather than guess.
- Match the field shapes in
.claude/skills/tailor-resume/references/jsonresume-fields.md.
- The honesty policy in
.claude/skills/tailor-resume/references/tailoring-rules.md also applies:
record only real facts, and never use [VERIFY] in the master — that marker
is only for tailored resumes.
Finish
- Write
profile/master.json.
- Run
npm run validate. Fix any schema errors.
- Tell the user the master is ready and they can now run
tailor-resume with a
job description.
