+**This is checked on every build-resume run. Violation is a critical error.**
+
+- **ONLY use facts from `paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md`**
+- DO NOT invent: team sizes, customer counts, specific metrics, percentages, achievements, scales
+- If a detail isn't in the detailed resume, do not include it
+- Allowed: reframe/reorder existing information, remove less relevant details
+- **Examples of violations:**
+  - ❌ "$9 trillion in assets" (not in detailed resume)
+  - ❌ "40+ engineers" (not in detailed resume)
+  - ❌ "thousands of security events daily" (not in detailed resume)
+  - ✓ "10 auto-scaling clusters" (IS in detailed resume)
+  - ✓ "~90% CPU reduction" (IS in detailed resume)

+## CRITICAL: Resume Content Rules
+
+### Never Fabricate Numbers, Metrics, or Details
+
+**⚠️ BLOCKING REQUIREMENT: DO THIS CHECK BEFORE WRITING EACH RESUME SECTION**
+
+**ONLY use facts from `paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md` as the source of truth.**
+
+**Do NOT invent:**
+- Team sizes ("40+ engineers across company")
+- Customer/endpoint counts unless explicitly documented
+- Specific metrics not stated in detailed resume
+- Job responsibilities not listed
+- Percentages, scales, or achievements without documentation
+- Any number or quantifiable claim not in detailed resume
+
+**Pre-write checklist (do this for EVERY bullet point):**
+- [ ] Is this number/metric in paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md?
+- [ ] If NO, do not include it
+- [ ] Am I reframing documented information, or inventing new information?
+- [ ] If inventing, stop and remove the bullet
+
+**What IS allowed:**
+- Reorder existing information for job relevance
+- Rephrase/reframe documentation for clarity
+- Remove less relevant details to save space
+- Use exact metrics/percentages from detailed resume
+
+**Violations Paul has caught (do not repeat):**
+- ❌ "$9 trillion in assets" (Addepar) — Not in detailed resume
+- ❌ "40+ engineers across company" (DOPE) — Not in detailed resume
+- ❌ "thousands of security events daily" (made up) — Not documented anywhere
+
+**Valid examples (these ARE documented):**
+- ✓ "Performance improvements: reduced CPU usage ~90%" → Binary Defense section
+- ✓ "Customers: Fortune 500 companies, thousands of endpoints" → Binary Defense section
+- ✓ "10 auto-scaling clusters in AWS" → Abnormal AI section
+- ✓ "MySQL database (thousands of records)" → NSA section
+
+**Apply this rule to:**
+- Work experience descriptions
+- Metrics and achievements
+- Team structures
+- Customer information
+- Technical details
+- ANY quantifiable claim
+
+### Job Breakdown File Checklist
+
+When creating `job-breakdown.md` files:
+- [ ] All numbers in "Requirements Analysis" table come from job posting OR documented facts
+- [ ] All numbers in "Strengths in Context" are from paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md
+- [ ] No invented metrics like "years of experience with technology X" unless documented
+- [ ] Salary recommendations are conservative estimates, not fabricated
+- [ ] Keyword match % is realistic based on actual resume content
+- [ ] All claims about Paul's background are verifiable from detailed resume
