**User input:** `$ARGUMENTS`
|
|
|
|
Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
|
|
- Session file path (e.g., `output/Acme/session_acme_engineer.md`) → read that session file
|
|
- Session name (e.g., `acme_engineer`) → find session file via shared_ops.md derivation
|
|
- Empty → check `CLAUDE.md` Active Sessions for latest
|
|

## Safety Rules (ALWAYS ENFORCED)
|
|
|
|
**Accuracy > Relevance > Impact > ATS > Brevity**
|
|
|
|
Read `config.md` Provenance Flags before generating any content. Verify every claim against that table.
|
|
|
|
- Use the email from `config.md` Personal Info in all outputs
|
|
- CL deepens what resume presents — never introduces new claims not traceable to resume bullets
|
|
- Source field context from `resume_builder/support/significance_*.md` files
|
|

## User Input During Execution
|
|
|
|
If the user provides feedback, corrections, or suggestions at any point:
|
|
1. Acknowledge the input immediately
|
|
2. If it affects already-written content: fix it, re-verify word count and anti-patterns
|
|
3. If it changes the framing: note the change in session file Framing Strategy
|
|
4. Never restart — resume from current position
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Startup
|
|
|
|
Read `resume_builder/reference/shared_ops.md` for session startup and file derivation.
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
1. Read `CLAUDE.md` — check Active Sessions and KB Corrections
|
|
2. Read `config.md` — load Provenance Flags, email, role types
|
|
3. Find and read the session file
|
|
4. **Recovery check:**
|
|
- If CL Status is DONE → "CL already generated. Run `/critique` next." Show next command. Stop.
|
|
- If CL Status is IN_PROGRESS → check if CL .tex exists, offer to resume or regenerate
|
|
- If Resume Status is not DONE → "Resume not yet generated. Run `/make-resume` first." Stop.
|
|
- If CL Status is PENDING → proceed to Phase 1
|
|

## Phase 1: Load Context
|
|
|
|
Read in this order:
|
|
1. **Session file** — specifically: Company Context, Cover Letter Plan, Framing Strategy, ATS Keywords
|
|
2. **Finished resume/CV .tex** — path from session file Output Files. Read to understand what CL must complement.
|
|
3. `resume_builder/reference/cl_reference.md` — CL format rules, paragraph templates, anti-patterns
|
|
4. `resume_builder/support/ai_fingerprint_rules.md` — Banned words, structural rules (CLs are most vulnerable)
|
|
5. The matching bundle from session file role type → `resume_builder/bundles/bundle_[role_type].md` — Section 5 (Cover Letter)
|
|
5. All significance files from `resume_builder/support/significance_*.md`
|
|
|
|
Update session file Status: `Cover Letter: IN_PROGRESS`
|
|
|
|
Progress: "Loading CL context — [company], [role type] bundle, [institution type]..."
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2: Generate Cover Letter
|
|
|
|
Read `resume_builder/templates/coverletter_template.tex`.
|
|
|
|
**Detect institution type** from session file Cover Letter Plan:
|
|
- Industry → 3 paragraphs, 250-300 words
|
|
- National Lab → 4 paragraphs, 350-450 words
|
|
- Academic → 4 paragraphs, 350-450 words (postdoc) or 450-650 words (faculty)
|
|
|
|
**Generate CL following cl_reference.md paragraph structure:**
|
|
- Use significance files for field-context depth (NOT resume bullet text)
|
|
- Use session file CL hooks and "why them" angle
|
|
- Ensure every major claim is traceable to a resume/CV bullet
|
|
- Open with a specific reference to their work — no generic openers
|
|
- Weave credentials into body paragraphs, not closing
|
|
|
|
Save to `output/<FolderName>/e2e_<name>_cover_letter.tex`
|
|
|
|
Progress: "Writing [institution type] cover letter — [N] paragraphs, targeting [N] words..."
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 3: Compile & Verify
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=output/<FolderName> output/<FolderName>/e2e_<name>_cover_letter.tex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use Read tool to view compiled PDF. Verify:
|
|
|
|
| Gate | Check | If FAIL |
|
|
|------|-------|---------|
|
|
| Word count | Industry 250-300, Lab/Academic 350-450 | Trim/expand |
|
|
| Page count | Resume package: 1 page. CV package: 1-2 pages | Adjust content |
|
|
| Page fill | 1pg: well-filled. 2pg: page 2 >= half filled before signature | Adjust |
|
|
| Anti-patterns | No generic opener, no defensive framing, no credential dump | Rewrite |
|
|
| Package cohesion | CL claims traceable to resume bullets, no contradictions | Fix |
|
|
| Compile | Clean pdflatex | Fix LaTeX errors |
|
|
|
|
Update session file:
|
|
- Add CL to Output Files
|
|
- Status: `Cover Letter: DONE`
|
|
- Add Next Critique command
|
|
|
|
Progress: "Compiled — 1 page, 278 words. Package cohesion verified."
|
|
|
|
### >>>>>> MANDATORY STOP — DO NOT PROCEED <<<<<<
|
|
Present: CL summary (word count, page count, key hooks used).
|
|
**You MUST wait for the user's explicit text response before continuing.**
|
|
|
|
If user requests changes: apply them, re-compile, re-verify. Update session file.
|
|
If user approves: update Status, present next command.
|
|
|
|
**Do NOT trigger file organization** — that happens after `/critique` approval.
|
|
|
|
"Cover letter done. Next steps:
|
|
1. /clear
|
|
2. [exact /critique command with session file path]"
