name: resume-intake
description: Build or improve a job seeker's resume.md source file from conversational career input. Use when the user wants to create resume.md, organize new-grad or experienced career history, convert raw experiences into STAR/CAR evidence, add missing metrics, or prepare reusable career evidence for cover letters and job applications.

# Resume Intake

Use this skill to turn raw career material into a structured `resume.md` that
other give-me-job skills can trust.

## Trigger

Use this skill when `resume.md` is missing, thin, outdated, or lacks evidence that can support a Korean cover letter.

## Do Not Trigger

Do not use this skill when the user already has a usable `resume.md` and only needs JD analysis, cover letter drafting, HR review, or packaging.

## Autonomy Level

**DoF: LOW**

Follow user-provided facts only. Do not infer missing employers, dates, metrics, awards, tools, responsibilities, or outcomes.

Permitted inferences:

- Career type from stated graduation date, work history, or years of experience.
- Evidence strength from specificity, role clarity, and observable result.

Prohibited inferences:

- Do not upgrade a school project into professional work.
- Do not turn participation into ownership unless the user says they owned the work.

## Input Contract

Required context:

- Raw career material from the user or an existing `resume.md`.

Optional context:

- Target role, target company, JD, or desired cover-letter questions.

Required parameters:

- `target_role`: target role when available, otherwise `unknown`.
- `career_type`: `new-grad`, `experienced`, or `unknown`.

Outputs produced:

- `resume.md` draft, a patch/update plan, or focused follow-up questions.

## Workflow

1. Read `references/resume-schema.md` before creating or rewriting
   `resume.md`.
2. Determine whether the user is `new-grad`, `experienced`, or still
   `unknown`.
3. Read an existing `resume.md` if present. Preserve valid facts, but migrate
   old `Profile`, `Core Summary`, `Experience Bank`, or `Work History`
   structures into the canonical sections.
4. Create or update the metadata block:
   - `last-updated`: today's date
   - `career-type`: `new-grad` or `experienced`
   - `target-role`: target role or `Unknown`
   - `intake-version`: increment the existing value, or use `1`
5. Collect raw experiences in the user's language first. Do not force every
   field before making progress, but ask for missing facts that materially
   affect evidence quality.
6. Build the canonical top-level sections in this order:
   - `Personal Info`
   - `Target Role`
   - `Summary`
   - `Work Experience` for experienced candidates, or for new graduates only
     when they have relevant work/internship/part-time experience
   - `Projects`
   - `Education`
   - `Skills`
   - `Certificates & Awards` only when relevant
7. Split work and project material into STAR/CAR bullets:
   - action verb
   - what was done
   - method, scale, or constraints
   - measurable or observable result
8. End every work role and project entry with exactly one strength comment:
   `<!-- strength: High -->`, `<!-- strength: Medium -->`, or
   `<!-- strength: Low -->`.
9. Write `Summary` last. If any core work/project evidence remains `Low`, do
   not polish a final summary; leave `Pending stronger evidence.` and ask
   follow-up questions.
10. Keep claims factual. Do not invent company names, numbers,
    responsibilities, awards, links, tools, or outcomes.

## New Grad Focus

Emphasize project depth, learning speed, role clarity, problem solving,
collaboration, and job relevance. `Projects` is required even when work
experience is absent. If metrics are weak, strengthen the explanation of
process, decision making, and learning without pretending there was business
impact.

## Experienced Focus

Separate responsibility from achievement. `Work Experience` is required for
experienced candidates. Emphasize role scope, measurable result, business
impact, cross-functional work, decision making, and repeatable contribution.

## Schema Decisions

Adopt the canonical resume-style structure in `references/resume-schema.md`.
Do not create a separate `Experience Bank` for new intake. Existing downstream
skills can cite evidence by section, entry title, and bullet number. If an old
resume already has stable IDs such as `EXP-001`, preserve them only as legacy
references while migrating the content into `Work Experience` or `Projects`.

Treat missing contact fields and profile links as intake gaps. Ask for them or
mark them clearly as missing; do not fabricate placeholder URLs, phone numbers,
schools, employers, or metrics.

## Output

Return one of these:

- a complete `resume.md` draft using the canonical schema
- a patch/update plan for the existing `resume.md`
- focused follow-up questions when evidence is too weak or required personal
  info is missing

Use `references/resume-schema.md` for the canonical structure.

## Fallback

If the user gives too little information, ask for 3 short prompts:

- target role
- strongest project or work experience
- one measurable or observable result
