A 3L first bullet in the first experience position overflows page 1, wasting prime real estate. Updated resume_reference.md (Page Fill Budgets), critical_rules.md (Budget Reminder), cv_template.tex (comment block), and /make-resume SKILL.md (Phase 1 checklist).

# Critical Rules — Compact Re-Read
|
||
|
||
> Quick reference for Phase 2 generation. Full rules in `resume_reference.md`.
|
||
|
||
## Character Limits
|
||
|
||
**Resume (10pt, textwidth=7.5in):**
|
||
|
||
| Target Lines | Rendered Char Range | HARD MAX | Orphan Threshold |
|
||
|-------|---------------|---------|------------------|
|
||
| 1 line | 105-111 chars | 117 | -- |
|
||
| 2 lines | 189-205 chars | 218 | Last line >= 78 chars |
|
||
|
||
**CV (11pt, textwidth=7.5in):**
|
||
|
||
| Target Lines | Rendered Char Range | HARD MAX | Orphan Threshold |
|
||
|-------|---------------|---------|------------------|
|
||
| 1 line | 88-93 chars | 101 | -- |
|
||
| 2 lines | 168-182 chars | 190 | Last line >= 65 chars |
|
||
| 3 lines | 250-268 chars | 280 | Last line >= 65 chars |
|
||
|
||
### Variant Naming
|
||
|
||
| Variant | Document | Lines | Target Range | HARD MAX | Orphan | Word Target |
|
||
|---------|----------|-------|-------------|----------|--------|-------------|
|
||
| Resume-1L | 1/2-page resume | 1 | 105-111 | 117 | -- | ~13 words |
|
||
| Resume-2L | 2-page resume | 2 | 189-205 | 218 | >= 78 | ~23-25 words |
|
||
| CV-2L | 5-page CV | 2 | 168-182 | 190 | >= 65 | ~21-22 words |
|
||
| CV-3L | 5-page CV | 3 | 250-268 | 280 | >= 65 | ~31-32 words |
|
||
|
||
## Bold Width Penalty
|
||
|
||
Resume (10pt): Effective limit = 119 - (0.5 x bold_char_count)
|
||
CV (11pt): Effective limit = 91 - (0.25 x bold_char_count)
|
||
|
||
## Orphan Rule
|
||
|
||
Multi-line bullet last rendered line must fill >= 70% of line width.
|
||
Resume 2L: last line >= 78 chars. CV 2L: >= 65 chars. CV 3L: >= 65 chars.
|
||
|
||
## FIXED Sections — NEVER Modify
|
||
|
||
All FIXED sections (internships, education, publications, honors/awards, header block) are set in the template.
|
||
NEVER change: \vspace values, \geometry settings, .cls formatting, header layout.
|
||
Only modify VARIABLE sections: Summary, Technical Skills, Experience bullets/headers.
|
||
|
||
## Provenance Flags
|
||
|
||
See `CLAUDE.md` for your project-specific provenance flags. Common patterns:
|
||
|
||
| Item Status | Rule |
|
||
|-------------|------|
|
||
| Under review | State journal name: "under review at [Journal]" |
|
||
| Unpublished | No specific numbers or publication claims |
|
||
| Internal/proprietary | "infrastructure I developed" — not peer-reviewed |
|
||
| Preprint only | Always flag provenance |
|
||
|
||
## LaTeX Notation Quick-Ref
|
||
|
||
| Item | Correct LaTeX | Wrong | Rendered |
|
||
|------|--------------|-------|----------|
|
||
| Chemical formulas | `\ce{H2O}` | `H2O`, `H$_2$O` | H₂O |
|
||
| Superscript labels | `X$^2$Y` | `X2Y` | X²Y |
|
||
| R² values | `R$^2$=0.99` | `R^2`, `R2` | R² |
|
||
| Greek letters | `$\alpha$-phase` | `alpha-phase` | α-phase |
|
||
| Approximately | `$\sim$64` | `~64` (LaTeX non-breaking space!) | ~64 |
|
||
|
||
CRITICAL: ~ in LaTeX = non-breaking space. Use $\sim$ for "approximately."
|
||
|
||
## KB Corrections
|
||
|
||
See `CLAUDE.md` for your project-specific KB corrections log. Always check before generation to avoid re-introducing known errors.
|
||
|
||
## Budget Reminder
|
||
|
||
Resume: ~20 variable bullets (exact count depends on skills config + immigration line). CV: 19-21 bullets, 45 rendered lines.
|
||
Resume bullets: ALL 2L. CV bullets: 2L/3L mix OK.
|
||
**CV Page 1 rule:** First bullet of first experience MUST be 2L. A 3L first bullet overflows page 1.
