# apex-generate-cv

## Purpose

This skill constructs a full CV using the candidate’s history and the
recommendations from earlier analysis phases. It follows best
practices for international organizations: clear sections, action
oriented bullets and appropriate keyword embedding.

## Shared definitions

Apply the expert lens, collaboration rules, guardrails, quality loop
protocol, guiding principles, and error handling patterns defined in `apex-guardrails`.

Format profile: `cv_document`.

## Inputs

Required:

- `USER_JOB_HISTORY_TEXT`: the user’s work experience.
- `JOB_DESCRIPTION_TEXT`: the target role description.

Optional:

- `USER_ADMIN_PROFILE_TEXT`: to align entries with the Admin Profile.
- `TERM_EXTRACTOR`: five high-priority terms from a job description with star
  ratings, ATS synonyms, JD-grounded rationale, and resume-ready examples in
  a strict four-line format.
- `JD_KEYWORD_BANK`: an expanded 20–40 phrase keyword bank.
- `apex-keyword-insertion-map`: a list of must‑use JD phrases and specify where to insert them across Phase 8 outputs.
- `apex-bullet-enhancer` Enhanced 2–3 existing job history bullet points by rewriting them using strong action verbs, quantifiable outcomes, and integration of high-priority JD terms (from TERM_EXTRACTOR).
- `apex-uvp-statement` A concise 1–2 sentence Unique Value Proposition (UVP) statement tailored to the role and organization using only the candidate’s evidence. 
- `SKILLS_TAXONOMY`: A structured list of skills.

## Output format

Produce plain text with the following sections:

1. **Header:** Candidate’s name and contact details (use placeholders such
   as `[Full Name]`, `[Email]`, `[Phone]` if absent).
2. **Summary Statement:** A concise 1–2 sentence summary derived from
   the UVP (or create one aligned with the role if not available).
3. **Experience:** List roles in reverse‑chronological order. For each
   role:
   - Start with `Job Title, Organization, Location, Dates` on one
     line (use placeholders if information is missing).
   - Follow with 2–5 bullet points highlighting achievements and
     responsibilities, using strong action verbs and quantifiable
     outcomes. Incorporate high‑priority keywords naturally. Each bullet
     should be one concise sentence. Use the enhanced bullets where
     available.
4. **Education:** If provided in the inputs, list degrees, institutions,
   and graduation years. Use one line per degree.
5. **Skills/Certifications/Languages:** Include technical skills, languages, tools
   and certifications relevant to the role. List them in categories if
   helpful. Only include skills present in the user’s inputs or the
   approved taxonomy.

## Rules

- Do not invent job titles, employers, dates or qualifications. Use
  placeholders instead.
- Keep section headings simple (e.g., `Experience`, `Education`, `Skills`).
  Do not include any Markdown headings (e.g., `#`, `##`) in the final
  CV text; the output should be ready to copy-paste into a document.
- Use a dash `-` to start each CV bullet.
- Use `-` only for bullets.
- Ensure verb tense consistency (past tense for past roles; present for
  current roles).
- Integrate keywords identified in Phase 2 naturally; avoid obvious
  keyword stuffing.
- Maintain a professional and factual tone throughout.
- Do not include star symbols (★).
- Do not apply strict output-lint profiles unless the user explicitly
  requests field-safe output.

## Recursive self-evaluation (internal only; do not print)

Apply the recursive self-evaluation loop protocol from `apex-guardrails`.

**Domain-specific checks for this skill:** verify clear headings,
consistent formatting (no markdown headers in output), and keyword
integration.

## Steps

1. Compile the candidate’s roles from `USER_JOB_HISTORY_TEXT` and
   `USER_ADMIN_PROFILE_TEXT` (if provided).
2. Draft the summary statement using the UVP or derive one from the
   strongest matches between the candidate’s experience and the job’s
   needs.
3. For each role, write 2–5 bullets mixing:
   - impact achievements (prefer metrics),
   - key responsibilities aligned to the JD.
4. Build the education and skills/certifications/languages sections from
   available data.
5. Output the CV with clear headings and consistent formatting.
