## About

# Resume Reviewer Skill

Generates structured review templates and checklists for resume PDF evaluation. Claude (or a human) visually reviews the PDF and fills in the template to produce actionable feedback.

## When to Use

- After compiling a resume PDF to check for layout issues
- When a user asks "does this look good?" or "check my resume"
- As the feedback loop in template creation/customization
- Before finalizing a resume for submission

## Workflow

1. **View the PDF** — Use the Read tool on the compiled PDF file
2. **Run the checklist** — Evaluate against `references/visual_qa_checklist.md`
3. **Identify issues** — Cross-reference with `references/common_issues.md`
4. **Provide feedback** — Use the format in `references/feedback_format.md`

## Quick Evaluation

For rapid assessment, check these critical items first:

1. **Page overflow** — Does content fit on expected pages (1-2)?
2. **Readability** — Is text large enough, spacing adequate?
3. **Visual balance** — Is whitespace well-distributed?
4. **Hierarchy** — Is the name most prominent, sections clear?
5. **Alignment** — Are dates, bullets, sections aligned consistently?

## Feedback for Iteration

When reviewing for template-maker iteration:

```
## Visual QA Results

### Pass/Fail Summary
- Layout: [PASS/FAIL]
- Typography: [PASS/FAIL]

2. [Another issue]

2. [Adjustment for issue 2]
```

## Integration with Template Maker

This skill is the inner loop of the creating-resume-templates workflow:

```
creating-resume-templates generates → compile to PDF → reviewing-resumes evaluates → creating-resume-templates adjusts
                                           ↑                                                      ↓
                                           └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

Continue iteration until reviewing-resumes returns all PASS results.
