Welcome to [**ResumeCraftr**](https://resumecraftr.app), the open-source tool designed to optimize resumes for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) using modern, Python-only tooling. ResumeCraftr now leans on LangChain graph pipelines, embedded ChromaDB retrieval, and PyMuPDF rendering to extract, tailor, and format CVs while keeping the stack lightweight and future-proof.

## Release Notes v0.8.1-beta4
You can find the release notes for version `v0.8.1-beta4` [here](https://github.com/raestrada/ResumeCraftr/releases/tag/v0.8.1-beta4).
## Step 1: Install ResumeCraftr
First, install **ResumeCraftr** using [pipx](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/), a tool that helps you install and run Python applications in isolated environments. It works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Using `pipx` ensures that **ResumeCraftr** runs in its own virtual environment, keeping your system's Python installation clean.
To install **ResumeCraftr**, run:
```bash
pipx install git+https://github.com/raestrada/ResumeCraftr.git@v0.9.1-beta1
```
## Quick Examples
Here are a few ways to get started with **ResumeCraftr**:
### Initialize a workspace:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr setup --language EN
```
### Create a new CV from scratch:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr new-cv my_cv
```
### Add or update a section in your CV:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr edit-section my_cv "Work Experience"
```
### View your CV:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr view-cv my_cv
```
### Import a CV from PDF:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr import-cv /Users/username/Documents/Personal/Resume.pdf
```
### Parse a CV into sections:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr parse-cv
```
### Add a job description for optimization:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr add-job
```
### Tailor your CV to a job description:
```bash
poetry run resumecraftr tailor-cv
```
### Export your CV to PDF:
```bash
# Render the most recent tailored sections with PyMuPDF
resumecraftr export-pdf
# Choose a specific tailored file and output path
resumecraftr export-pdf --sections my_cv.tailored_sections.json --output resume.pdf
# Translate sections before rendering (e.g., to Spanish)
resumecraftr export-pdf --template modern --translate ES
```
By default PDFs land in `cv-workspace/output/` using deterministic names such as `jdoe_modern_es_principal-engineer.pdf`, so rerunning the same template overwrites the prior export. Translation runs cache their JSON next to the tailored file (`my_cv.tailored_sections.es.translated.json`) for quick re-use.
### Run the end-to-end marketing sample:
```bash
# Generates the John Doe Principal Engineer CV, tailors it, and renders a PDF with the modern template
bash examples/resumecraftr_example.sh --use-poetry
# The published PDF is copied to docs/samples/john-doe-principal-engineer.pdf for GitHub Pages hosting
```
