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| Unpublished | No specific numbers or publication claims |
| Internal/proprietary | "infrastructure I developed" — not peer-reviewed |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.
