Builds professional CVs and resumes from structured YAML and renders them to PDF using RenderCV themes.

What it does: This skill guides the creation of professional CVs and resumes from structured YAML data covering experience, education, skills, and contact details. It documents the YAML schema, available RenderCV themes (classic, sb2nov, moderncv, engineeringresumes), and design options such as font, font size, page size, and color. It also describes the RenderCV command-line workflow for creating and rendering a CV to a PDF file. The deliverable is a formatted resume document, typically a PDF.
When to use it: Use it when someone wants to create, update, or reformat a CV or resume from their experience and education details. It suits requests for themed, professionally laid out resumes, including technical resumes that highlight projects.
Requirements: Requires the RenderCV tool, installed via pip (pip install rendercv), and a Python environment. The skill is instructions only and ships no scripts; it references an office MCP server with create_docx, docx_to_pdf, and fill_docx_template tools.
