Tailor a one-page resume PDF to each job description
The poster built a Claude Code agent that generates a one-page PDF resume tailored to each job description without fabricating experience, and helps track applications. ·
Done withClaude Code
- What they did
- The poster used Claude Code plus free-tier Supabase, Vercel, Telegram, and Gmail integrations to automate resume tailoring and application tracking. After giving the agent one existing resume, it interviewed them to build a library of real experience, then for each job description it chose, reordered, and rewrote relevant bullets, generated a one-page PDF in the same format, and ran QA checks for page count, ATS parsing, unsupported claims, filler, and formatting; the person pasted in each JD and optionally reviewed notifications.
- How it went
- The stated result was a reusable open-source workflow that produced one-page tailored PDFs and added optional tracking, Gmail draft creation, Telegram review notifications, and a dashboard. The post gives no response-rate, interview, or hiring numbers, so its effectiveness beyond saving manual effort is not quantified.
- Worth knowing
- Their only stated paid input was an existing Claude Code subscription; the other services mentioned were free-tier.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
In this folder I have my master resume at [filename] and job descriptions in [folder]. For each job description, generate a one-page PDF resume tailored to it, emphasizing relevant experience but never inventing or exaggerating anything not in my master resume. Also keep a tracker file [applications.csv] with company, role, date, resume file, and status. Finish by listing the PDFs created and any gaps you noticed between my experience and each role.
