The HTML template rendered by Playwright into PDF. Uses placeholder tokens ({{NAME}}, {{SUMMARY_TEXT}}, {{EXPERIENCE}}, etc.) that the PDF pipeline fills at generation time.
Design: Space Grotesk headings + DM Sans body, single-column ATS-safe layout, self-hosted fonts from fonts/.
Customization: Edit this file to change colors, spacing, or section order. The placeholder tokens are documented in batch/batch-prompt.md under "Template placeholders."
LaTeX template for Overleaf-compatible CV generation. Based on the sb2nov/resume format. Uses placeholder tokens ({{NAME}}, {{EXPERIENCE}}, {{PROJECTS}}, etc.) that the LaTeX pipeline fills at generation time.
Design: Single-column ATS-safe layout using standard CTAN packages (fontawesome5, enumitem, hyperref, titlesec). No custom fonts or external dependencies — uploads directly to Overleaf.
Usage:
# Validate and compile .tex → .pdf (requires pdflatex on PATH)
node generate-latex.mjs output/cv-name-company-date.tex
# Or specify a custom output path
node generate-latex.mjs output/cv-name-company-date.tex output/custom-name.pdfPrerequisites: pdflatex via MiKTeX (Windows) or TeX Live (Linux/macOS). First compilation may auto-install missing LaTeX packages. Alternatively, upload the .tex file directly to Overleaf — no local install needed.
Customization: Edit this file to change margins, section order, or formatting commands. The placeholder tokens are documented in modes/latex.md under "Template Placeholders."
Pre-configured portal scanner with 45+ tracked companies and search queries. Contains title filters, company career page URLs, Greenhouse API endpoints, and WebSearch queries.
To activate: Copy to project root as portals.yml and customize title_filter.positive keywords for your target roles. Add or remove companies as needed.
Defines the 8 canonical application states (Evaluated, Applied, Responded, Interview, Offer, Rejected, Discarded, SKIP) with aliases for common variants. All pipeline scripts validate statuses against this file.
Do not rename states -- the dashboard and all scripts depend on these exact IDs. You can add aliases if you encounter new variants that should map to an existing state.
