What awesome-phd-cv does

This skill provides three LaTeX directions: research-cv/ for a multi-page academic CV, jakes-format/ for a one-page ATS-focused resume, and deedy-format/ for a one-page two-column resume. The templates use either XeLaTeX or pdfLaTeX.

The academic layout keeps sections in separate files under cv/, including education, experience, publications, honors, projects, and skills. Build Jake’s format with pdflatex resume.tex; the academic layout uses xelatex cv.tex. A full TeX distribution is required, and the XeLaTeX layouts also need font packages plus texlive-xetex.

What it helps with

  • build an academic CV in LaTeX
  • create an ATS-ready industry resume
  • reshape academic experience into a resume
  • split CV sections into files under cv/
  • format a one-page two-column resume

Example prompts for the agent
