What you need to provide

Required

Input	What it should contain
Master resume	Every role, bullet, project, skill, and metric you have ever done — the more complete, the better. The skill selects and rewrites from this pool; it does not invent. Accepted formats: .docx, .pdf, .txt, .md, or pasted text.
Job description	The full JD for the role you are applying to. Paste it as text or drop a .md/.txt file.
Company name	The name of the hiring company.

Optional (the skill infers these if not provided)

Input	Effect
LinkedIn / GitHub / portfolio URL	Added as clickable links in the header
Career level	Controls section order and bullet depth. One of: new_grad, entry_level, mid_level, senior_ic, manager, director
Page preference	one_page or two_page. Defaults to what fits the content.
Tone	conservative, modern_professional, technical, or analytical
Roles or projects to emphasize or exclude	Overrides the skill's default selection logic
Metrics you are confident defending	Prevents the skill from softening numbers that are accurate

Tips for your master resume

• Include everything — roles you think are irrelevant, old projects, side work. The skill decides what to cut.
• Keep raw bullets, not polished ones — the skill rewrites for you. Messy input is fine.
• Add numbers wherever you have them — even rough ones ("~50 users", "saved about 3 hours/week"). The skill will not invent metrics you do not provide.
