Reactive Resume Builder

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Writing a new resume through a guided conversation
• Restructuring resume content to fit the Reactive Resume schema
• Tracking job applications and interviews from the agent

Example prompts

• “Help me build a resume for a senior data analyst role.”
• “Import my job applications from applications.csv and set follow-ups.”
• “Tailor my resume to the backend engineer posting I linked.”

Requirements

• A Reactive Resume account or instance
• The Reactive Resume MCP server for application tracking

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Gather Basic Information
2. 2Collect Section Content
3. 3Configure Layout and Design
4. 4Generate Valid JSON

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c6a7b1d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • rxresu.me

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Reactive Resume Builder loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~38k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 901 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~180

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~38k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Builds a complete resume from scratch as Reactive Resume JSON that conforms to the schema and imports at https://rxresu.me. Asks for each missing detail instead of inventing it, then produces valid JSON (UUIDs, HTML descriptions, template and layout). Use when the user wants to create, build or generate a new resume, turn their work history into Reactive Resume JSON, or asks about the Reactive Resume schema, sections, templates or layout. For what belongs on a resume or a resume audit use resume-content-guide; for rewriting bullets, resume-bullet-writer; for fitting one job posting, resume-tailor; for tracking applications, job-application-manager; for interviews, interview-prep or mock-interview.
