So what is it?

This is a template and workflow for maintaining your CV using LaTeX, AI coding agents, and version control. The core idea is that a resume is really a structured text document, and the same tools that make software development efficient, AI assistants, git version history, clean separation of content from formatting, should also apply to CV maintenance. The setup uses LaTeX, a document formatting system common in academic and professional publishing, which separates your CV's visual design (fonts, colors, layout) from the actual content. That means you can switch between resume styles or adjust formatting without touching your work history or achievements. AI agents (like Claude or Cursor) can then edit the LaTeX content the same way they would edit code, making targeted changes, rewriting bullet points for a specific job description, or optimizing phrasing for applicant tracking systems (the software companies use to automatically filter resumes). The repository provides three pre-built templates in different visual styles, a folder structure for maintaining one master CV plus company-specific variants, and ready-made prompts you can feed to an AI assistant for common tasks like matching your CV to a job description. You would use this if you apply to multiple jobs and want to maintain tailored versions of your resume efficiently without manual copy-paste work each time. It runs in a Docker dev container inside VS Code, so there is no manual LaTeX installation required. The primary language is TeX.
