## What it does

Academic CVs differ fundamentally from standard resumes. They span multiple pages and document an entire scholarly trajectory. This skill provides explicit blueprints for curriculum vitae sections, adapting the order according to whether the applicant targets a research, teaching, or administrative appointment.

The prompt covers nuanced formatting conventions for scholarship. It specifies bolding the applicant name, flagging student co-authors with asterisks, and splitting grant funding by laboratory allocation. Because the skill relies entirely on your input, you must supply your raw publication lists, DOIs, and ORCID identifiers directly to the assistant.
