/import — Import Existing Resume

Purpose

Import an existing resume into wilson-resume.yml format. Scans for existing documents, interviews the user to fill gaps, and writes the structured YAML. Assumes /setup has already run (project structure and CLAUDE.md docs exist).

Process

Phase 1 — Discovery

Scan the current directory and one level of subdirectories for existing resume artifacts. If the user provides an external path (e.g., /import ../resume/), scan that path as well.

Resume files: Scan for resume artifacts in any common format (YAML, markdown, PDF, DOCX, JSON, HTML). Prioritize wilson-resume.yml if it already exists in resume-builder format.

External documents (when the user provides an external path):

• Read and understand any document format found (HTML exports, PDFs, markdown, text files, etc.)
• Skip asset/support directories that don't contain meaningful content
• Extract project names, technologies, architecture, metrics, and timelines

Report findings to the user:

Found in source directory:
  ✓ resume.md (8.8 KB) — markdown resume (will parse)
  ✓ projects/ (15 HTML exports) — project documentation (will parse)
  ✗ skills.yaml — NOT a plugin file (skill data goes in wilson-resume.yml)
  ✗ generate_resume_pdf.py — NOT needed (replaced by /generate)
  ✗ index.html — NOT needed (replaced by /generate HTML output)

Phase 2 — Parse Existing Resume

If an existing resume file is found:

1. Read and parse it — extract all structured data:

   • Header: name, title, location, email, phone (optional), LinkedIn, GitHub
   • Summary paragraph and highlight bullets
   • Skills by category
   • Experience: companies, roles, dates, bullet points
   • Projects: name, URL, description, technologies
   • Education

2. Extract technologies and metrics from each bullet:

   • Technologies: tools, frameworks, languages, services mentioned
   • Metrics: percentages, counts, scale figures, latency numbers

3. Present the parsed structure to the user for review:

   Parsed from resume.md:
     Header: Wilson K. Choi | Senior Software Engineer | ...
     Summary: 3 bullets
     Skills: 6 categories
     Experience: 3 companies, 6 roles, 20 bullets
     Projects: 4 entries
     Education: B.S. Computer Science, Cal Poly Pomona
   
   Does this look complete? Anything missing or incorrect?
   

If external documents are found:

1. Read each document — extract meaningful content, skipping boilerplate and asset directories.

2. Categorize extracted content per document:

   • Technologies and tech stack
   • Architecture patterns and design decisions
   • Scale/volume metrics
   • Timelines and delivery dates

3. Present summary to the user:

   Parsed from 15 project documents:
     ASR for IVR — UniMRCP, FreeSWITCH, Azure, 70-80k calls/month
     Call Recording Architecture — S3, Lambda, transcription pipeline
     SIP Trunking — Kamailio, FreeSWITCH, HA design
     ...
   
   Which of these projects should be included in your resume?
   

Phase 3 — Interview

Ask clarification questions to fill gaps. Do NOT proceed until these are resolved:

Always ask:

• "Is any content in this resume outdated or no longer accurate?"
• "Are there any recent projects or roles not captured here?"
• "Which types of roles are you targeting?"

Ask if missing:

• Contact info gaps (email, phone, LinkedIn, GitHub)
• Date gaps in employment history
• Bullet points with no quantified impact — ask if metrics are available
• Projects with no URLs — ask if they're public

Do NOT ask:

• Questions answerable from the documents already scanned
• Obvious formatting preferences (the plugin handles this)
• Technical setup questions (the plugin handles this)
• Whether to keep legacy generation scripts (they're replaced by /generate)

Phase 4 — Confirm Before Writing

Present the complete plan before writing:

Ready to import. Here's what I'll write:

  WRITE  wilson-resume.yml  — 20 bullets, 4 projects, all provenance set to manual+verified
  
  Provenance: all bullets marked source:"manual", verified:true
  
  Proceed? [describe any changes you want first]

Wait for explicit user confirmation before writing.

Phase 5 — Write and Verify

After user confirms:

1. Write wilson-resume.yml with full provenance on every bullet:

   provenance: { source: "manual", artifacts: [], verified: true }
   

2. Run resume-builder verify to validate the file

3. Report results:

   ✓ wilson-resume.yml written — 20 bullets, 4 projects, all verified
   ✓ resume-builder verify passed
   
   Next steps:
     /generate   — generate all 4 formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown)
                   HTML output is a portfolio-quality page with dark/light
                   theme, spotlight effects, animations, and responsive design
     /ingest     — add achievements from project artifacts in artifacts/
     /tailor     — tailor for a specific job description

Anti-Fabrication Rules (MANDATORY)

• NEVER fabricate or embellish content during import — copy what exists
• NEVER skip the interview phase — always ask the user to confirm before writing
• If the existing resume has content that looks wrong or inconsistent, flag it rather than silently copying
• Set ALL provenance to source: "manual", verified: true for content imported from user's existing resume
• If wilson-resume.yml already has content, ask before overwriting
