CV Generator turns one easy-to-edit YAML file into a clean PDF resume and automatically checks the final PDF for readability, structure, and parser friendliness.
npm install -g @scihan/cv-generator
cv-generator --init
cv-generator --profile candidate-profile.yaml --out output/cv.pdfYou can also run it directly with npx:
npx @scihan/cv-generator --init
npx @scihan/cv-generator --profile candidate-profile.yaml --out output/cv.pdf
The command line stays intentionally small. Quality scoring runs automatically after generation. If you want to skip it,
use --no-score.
This is the shape of the input file you edit.
