Profile Module

Contents

Overview

The profile is the sole source of content for resume generation; no other data source feeds into the resume.


Entries

  • Users can create, edit, and delete entries in a professional profile.
  • A professional profile contains editable entries for basic info (name, address, YOE, visa status, etc.) and details (experience, education, awards, etc.).
  • Basic info entries can be used for hard filtering by the job posting ranker.
  • There is no cap on the number of detail entries, but each user only has one profile and one set of basic info entries.
  • The profile is initialized with generic defaults and is configured in the UI.

Word Limit

  • A configurable per-entry word limit (default: 200) is enforced at save time.
  • A visible word count indicator is shown in the editor and updates as the user types.

Tag Filtering

  • The profile view supports filtering entries by type tag to assist with managing a large profile.

Resume PDF Import

  • A dedicated “Import from Resume PDF” button is available on the Profile view for testing and onboarding purposes.
  • The user selects a PDF file via the system file dialog; the file is read locally and never transmitted outside the Claude API call.
  • The app sends the PDF to the configured Claude AI model using the document message format and asks it to extract structured profile entries.
  • The AI response is parsed into typed profile entries (experience, education, skill, credential, accomplishment) and bulk-inserted into the profile.
  • A progress indicator is shown while the AI call is in-flight.
  • On success, a flash message reports the number of entries added and the entry list refreshes automatically.
  • If the API key is absent or the AI call fails, a descriptive error is shown and no entries are written.
  • Existing entries are preserved; the PDF import only adds new entries (no deduplication or replacement of existing ones).
  • This feature requires the Claude API key to be configured; the button is disabled when the key is absent.
