Resume Alignment

Missing prerequisites:

• If no job analysis: "I need a job analysis first. Should I analyze the job description now?"
• If no lexicons: "I need your career lexicons. Run: python run_llm_analysis.py"

Configuration

Default paths:

LEXICONS_DIR = "~/lexicons_llm/"
APPLICATIONS_DIR = "~/career-applications/"
OUTPUT_FILE_PATTERN = "{job-slug}/02-resume-tailored.md"

Workflow

Phase 0: Lexicon Loading

Startup sequence:

1. Check for job analysis file

ls ~/career-applications/*/01-job-analysis.md | sort -r | head -1

If found: "I found your analysis of [job title]. Use this?" If not found: "No job analysis found. Options:

1. Analyze job description now

2. Specify path to existing analysis

3. Cancel"

4. Load lexicons

Read: ~/lexicons_llm/02_achievement_library.md → store in context
Read: ~/lexicons_llm/04_language_bank.md → store in context

If files not found: Error with instructions to run lexicon generator

3. Verify all files loaded successfully

Confirmation: "Loaded successfully:

• Job analysis: [job title]
• Achievement library: [count] achievements across [categories]
• Language bank: [count] action verbs

Ready to match your achievements to job requirements."

Which achievement and variation best demonstrates your qualifications
for this requirement?

Options:

- Kirk Douglas (Variation 2 - Financial Stewardship)
- Outdoor Amphitheater (Variation 1)
- None - I'll describe a different project

Selection tracking:

selections = {
    "requirement_1": {
        "achievement": "Kirk Douglas Theater",
        "variation": "Project Management Focus",
        "source": "achievement_library.md:338-342",
        "text": "[full text]"
    }
}

Language selection from language bank:

The job posting uses "stewarded" 3 times. Your language bank categorizes
this under:
- Section I.A.1: Vision & Planning (Strategic Leadership)
- Usage context: Opening statements, executive-level positioning
- Frequency in your materials: Used in 60% of executive role applications

Use "stewarded" for your capital project bullets? [Yes/No]

Alternative verbs from your language bank:
- "Led" (more common, less distinctive)
- "Oversaw" (similar authority level)
- "Directed" (slightly more authoritative)

## Professional Experience

### Associate Producer | Center Theatre Group | 1997-2004

**Original (from your 2023 resume):**
"Led theater renovation project with team of contractors"

**Proposed (tailored for this role):**
"Stewarded $12.1M adaptive reuse project from conception through on-time,
on-budget delivery, managing cross-functional team of 50 full- and part-time
staff across design, construction, and operational launch phases"

**Source:** achievement_library.md:338 (Kirk Douglas Theater, Variation A: Project Management Focus)

**Keywords matched:**
- "stewarded" (job posting priority keyword)
- "$12.1M" (exceeds $5M+ requirement)
- "cross-functional team" (collaboration emphasis from posting)
- "on-time, on-budget" (fiscal responsibility signal)

**Does this accurately represent your experience?**
- Yes → Include as written
- No → Tell me what's inaccurate
- Adjust → What changes would make this authentic?

Rules:

• ONLY include after user confirms "Yes"
• If "No" → Ask "What's inaccurate?" → Revise → Re-present
• If "Adjust" → Socratic questioning → Refine → Re-present
• Track every confirmation with timestamp

Evidence tracking:

evidence_trail = {
    "line_5": {
        "content": "Stewarded $12.1M adaptive reuse project...",
        "sources": [
