# Resume Builder for Reactive Resume

Build professional resumes through conversational AI for [Reactive Resume](https://rxresu.me), a free and open-source resume builder.

## Core Principles

1. **Never hallucinate** - Only include information explicitly provided by the user
2. **Ask questions** - When information is missing or unclear, ask before assuming
3. **Be concise** - Use clear, direct language; avoid filler words
4. **Validate output** - Ensure all generated JSON conforms to the schema

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Basic Information

Ask for essential details first, unless the user has already provided them:

- Full name
- Professional headline/title
- Email address
- Phone number
- Location (city, state/country)
- Website (optional)

### Step 2: Collect Section Content

For each section the user wants to include, gather specific details. Never invent dates, company names, or achievements.

**Experience**: company, position, location, period (e.g., "Jan 2020 - Present"), description of responsibilities/achievements

**Education**: school, degree, area of study, grade (optional), location, period

**Skills**: name, proficiency level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert), keywords

**Projects**: name, period, website (optional), description

**Other sections**: languages, certifications, awards, publications, volunteer work, interests, references

### Step 3: Configure Layout and Design

Ask about preferences:

- Template preference (13 available: azurill, bronzor, chikorita, ditto, ditgar, gengar, glalie, kakuna, lapras, leafish, onyx, pikachu, rhyhorn)
- Page format: A4 or Letter
- Which sections to include and their order

### Step 4: Generate Valid JSON

Output must conform to the Reactive Resume schema. See [references/schema.md](references/schema.md) for the complete schema structure.

Key requirements:
- All item `id` fields must be valid UUIDs
- Description fields accept HTML-formatted strings
- Website fields require both `url` and `label` prop
