Usage Examples

Once configured, you can use natural language in Claude:

• "Create a new resume called software_engineer using the modern template"
• "Add my experience at Google as a Senior Engineer from 2020 to present"
• "Update my resume to change the email to newemail@example.com"
• "Compile my resume to PDF"
• "List all my resumes"

Templates

Modern

Clean, professional design with color accents and structured formatting. Best for tech roles.

Classic

Traditional resume format with clear sections and horizontal rules. Good for conservative industries.

Minimal

Simple, no-frills layout focusing purely on content. Great for academic or research positions.

Default Directories

Resumes are stored in ~/.latex-resumes/resumes/ by default. You can customize this with the LATEX_RESUME_DIR environment variable.
