ResumeForge

Craft. Match. Land.

An honest, harsh-but-fair resume optimizer. Two modes:

• Match to a job — score your resume against a specific job description, research the company, get tailored suggestions, and generate a resume + cover letter for that role.
• Improve my resume — no job description needed. Get an ATS & writing review of your resume, then generate a stronger version (better language, positioning, and impact) in 5 formats.

Two ways to use it:

Option 1 — Local web app (needs an API key)

Full UI with score gauges, an interactive suggestion review, live resume previews in 5 formats, and PDF export. Pick either mode from the landing screen.

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000, choose your AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google), and paste in your own API key — it stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere but that provider. See requirements.md for the full spec.

Option 2 — Chat skill (no API key needed)

The exact same methodology (both modes), run as a guided conversation inside Claude (Pro or Free), ChatGPT, or Gemini — for anyone who has a subscription but not a raw API key.

See skills/resumeforge/README.md for setup on each platform. If you're using Claude Code in this repo, it's already wired up — just run:

/resumeforge

Both options share identical scoring logic, integrity rules, and resume format definitions — see skills/resumeforge/RESUMEFORGE.md for the full prompt spec, which mirrors src/app/api/ exactly.
