## Workflows
### Building a Resume
```
1. Find position (using /job-search skill)
2. Verify on company careers page
3. /build-resume [job description]
→ Creates: applications/company/position/
→ Generates: resume.md, cover-letter.md, job-breakdown.md
4. make resume-modern FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
→ Generates: resume.pdf, cover-letter.pdf
5. Apply to company
6. Log in applications_tracker (memory system)
```
### Searching for Jobs
```
1. /job-search find-positions
→ Searches job boards from JOB-BOARDS-TO-SEARCH.md
2. Evaluate using CRITERIA-CHECKLIST.md (1-10 fit score)
3. Verify on company careers page
4. /job-search track-found [company] [role] [URL] [fit]
→ Saves to search/
→ Updates job_search.html
5. If good fit → /build-resume to apply
```

## Memory System
Located at: `/home/paul/.claude/projects/-home-paul-Public-resume/memory/`
**Key memory files:**
- `applications_tracker.md` — Track all submitted applications
- `user_preferences.md` — Your job search criteria and preferences
- `job_search_tracker.md` — Platforms, strategies, fit scores
- `feedback_no_fabrication.md` — The no-fabrication rule (critical!)
These persist across conversations and track your application workflow.
---
## Build System
**Makefile commands:**
```bash
# Build with modern template (recommended)
make resume-modern FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
# Build with classic template
make resume FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
# Build with awesome-cv template
make resume-awesome FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
# View all options
make help
```
**Source:** `paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md` is the source of truth. All customized resumes draw facts from here.
---
## Git Tracking
**Committed (in version control):**
- ✅ All `.md` files (guides, documentation, skill docs)
-`CLAUDE.md` (project rules)
-`Makefile`, `Dockerfile` (build system)
- ✅ Templates and configurations
-`notes/` folder (documentation)
**Not committed (in `.gitignore`):**
-`applications/` — Submitted applications (local only)
-`search/` — Search results (local only)
-`.podman-build` — Build cache artifacts
This keeps your repository clean while preserving all your documentation and guides.
---
## Organization Principles
1. **Skill documentation lives in `.claude/skills/`**
- Self-contained with all needed files
- Invoked with `/skill-name` commands
2. **Optimization guides live in `notes/`**
- LinkedIn optimization, strategy docs, etc.
- Committed to version control
- Reference materials for ongoing improvement
3. **Job-specific work lives in `applications/`**
- One folder per company/position
- NOT committed (local work)
- Generated by `/build-resume` skill
4. **Search results live in `search/`**
- Discovered positions and searches
- NOT committed (ephemeral)
- Generated by `/job-search` skill
5. **Core resume in project root**
- `paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md` — Source of truth
- Never fabricate facts; always reference this
---
## Extending This Structure
When adding new documentation:
- **Skill documentation?** → Add to `.claude/skills/[skill-name]/`
- **Optimization guide?** → Add to `notes/`
- **Search output?** → Saved in `search/`
- **Job application?** → Saved in `applications/[company]/[position]/`
Update this file if you make structural changes.
