Give every claim a source
Start with your master resume and details you've confirmed. Mark missing information for review instead of inventing a metric. Check a public pull request's merge state before describing it as merged.

What the skill asks your agent to check
Keep the useful part of tailoring.
Choose relevant work without changing the facts.
Write about your work
Your selected original writing can guide phrasing and rhythm through a private voice reference. Resume facts stay separate. The overlap script helps review shared wording; accurate technical terms do not need disguising.
Inspect the exported file
Keep the latest approved CV as the design baseline. Check extracted text and section order, compare the exported pages with that reference, and review employer autofill when offered. Parser behavior varies, so these checks cannot certify every ATS.
Keep personal files out of Git
Your foundation.md resume and provenance.md verification notes are excluded from version control. Your agent provider's privacy policy still applies when it reads them.
A small check, with context
Review shared wording.
The script flags shared runs of four or more words in a CV and a posting, reporting repeated matches at each location. Review each match in context: common technical terms are not proof of copying.
This skills label can stay if it accurately describes your work. Rephrasing it is optional.
Skills label in both the CV and the posting
CLI tools and libraries
Shared run found: [4 words] cli tools and libraries
Review the wording in context. An overlap isn't proof of copying.
A shorter alternative for the same skills label
Command-line tooling
No shared run of 4+ words in this short example.
The experience stays the same. Only the label changes.
This switches between sample text. Run the Python script with your own files to check a draft.
The workflow
Review before exporting.
You review the facts and wording before the agent exports a file.
Choose facts and design
Share the posting, verified sources and latest approved CV. The existing CV is the default design baseline; the agent asks before changing the look or section order.
Review the draft
Approve wording and any proposed design improvements separately. Nothing about the visual structure changes without your approval.
Check extraction and export
Verify required text and section landmarks in extracted PDF text, compare each page with the approved CV, and review employer autofill when available. These checks do not certify every ATS.
Explore the animated workflow, source map and fictional career-lane PDFs.
Get started
Bring it to your agent.
Add the skill to your agent, then review your first draft.
Local exports are tested on Linux and macOS with Python 3.11+, a Chromium-family browser, and Poppler's pdftotext and pdfinfo. GitHub CLI is used when checking public contributions.
Rezi can be an optional resume source. Amazon Quick is an optional DOCX workflow; the skill does not bundle either service.
cv-witness installation
Add a personal AdaL skill
git clone https://github.com/chindris-mihai-alexandru/cv-witness.git ~/.adal/skills/cv-witnessRun in your terminal. Private resume files are not included in the clone.
Add the marketplace, then install the plugin
/plugin marketplace add chindris-mihai-alexandru/cv-witness
/plugin install cv-witness@cv-witnessSend these as two separate commands inside Claude Code, not in your shell.
Add a personal Codex skill
git clone https://github.com/chindris-mihai-alexandru/cv-witness.git ~/.agents/skills/cv-witnessRun in your terminal. Codex discovers personal skills in this directory.
Get the skill and its supporting files
git clone https://github.com/chindris-mihai-alexandru/cv-witness.gitAsk your agent to read the root SKILL.md. Discovery paths depend on the host.
Already have a clone at that path? Update it rather than overwriting it. See the setup notes for requirements and private sources.
Before you use it
Will this pass every ATS?
No. Parsers and employer configurations differ. The text-based layout and export checks help catch formatting problems, but they cannot guarantee correct parsing, a ranking or an interview.
Does this page process my resume?
No. This is a product overview with a rendered fictional sample, not a resume editor or upload form. The skill runs through your chosen agent. That provider's privacy and data policies apply to any sources you share with it.
Can it sound exactly like me?
You can now build a private style reference from selected original Markdown, Cabinet pages, Obsidian notes, Sanity exports, or normalized original-text records. It describes writing habits rather than training a model. Generated memories and assistant prose are excluded when labelled; you still confirm authorship and review the draft. Exact voice matching is not promised. Read the voice corpus guide.
Can I change the layout or paper size?
Engineering, Operations/Support, Research and Management presets reorder complete sections in one single-column layout. Roles repeat without fixed slots, and A4 or Letter is explicit. Longer CVs need an approved page limit; no content is dropped to force a pass. Inspect the fictional template gallery.
Do I need a paid resume service?
The skill is MIT licensed and does not require Rezi or Amazon Quick. You still need an agent host, and any charges or requirements of that host are separate.
