SkillBridge – Resume Critique & AI Resume Builder (CLI)

SkillBridge is a command-line tool that helps job-seekers improve their existing résumé and generate a brand-new résumé in LaTeX/PDF format.

1. Upload your current résumé (PDF or DOCX).
   • SkillBridge extracts the text and asks OpenAI GPT-3.5 for a concise, actionable critique.
2. Optionally answer a few interactive prompts.
   • SkillBridge builds a fresh résumé from scratch, fills a LaTeX template, and saves it to output/resume.tex (plus a PDF if pdflatex is installed).
