Prerequisites

1. Playwright MCP Server (for LinkedIn automation)

Start the server before running this skill:

bash
bash /mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/.claude/skills/browsing-with-playwright/scripts/start-server.sh

2. Base Resume

Ensure resume exists at configured path (default: /mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/resume/resume06012026.docx)

3. System Dependencies

bash
# Core tools
sudo apt-get install pandoc python3 python3-pip nodejs npm

# Optional (for PDF export)
sudo apt-get install libreoffice poppler-utils

4. Python Packages

bash
pip install python-docx spacy nltk pandas requests
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
python -m nltk.downloader punkt stopwords

5. Node Packages

bash
npm install -g @playwright/mcp

Quick Start

Basic Usage

bash
python3 scripts/workflow_orchestrator.py \
  --job-keywords "AI Engineer remote" \
  --job-count 2

With Custom Resume Path

bash
python3 scripts/workflow_orchestrator.py \
  --resume-path "/path/to/your/resume.docx" \
  --job-keywords "Machine Learning Engineer" \
  --job-count 2 \
  --output-dir "./custom_output"

Step-by-Step Workflow

Phase 1: Initialize Playwright Server

bash
bash /mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/.claude/skills/browsing-with-playwright/scripts/start-server.sh

Verify server is running:

bash
curl http://localhost:8808

Phase 2: Search LinkedIn Jobs

bash
python3 scripts/linkedin_scraper.py \
  --keywords "AI Engineer remote" \
  --count 2 \
  --output jobs.json

Output: jobs.json containing:

json
[
  {
    "title": "Senior AI Engineer",
    "company": "TechCorp",
    "url": "https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/12345",
    "description": "Full job description...",
    "required_skills": ["Python", "TensorFlow", "MLOps"],
    "preferred_skills": ["Kubernetes", "AWS"]
  }
]

Phase 3: Extract Base Resume Skills

bash
# Convert DOCX to markdown
pandoc --track-changes=accept /mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/resume/resume06012026.docx -o resume.md

# Extract skills
python3 scripts/resume_analyzer.py --resume-md resume.md --output base_skills.json

Output: base_skills.json with skills inventory

Phase 4: Generate Tailored Resumes

For each job, generate ATS-optimized resume:

bash
python3 scripts/ats_optimizer.py \
  --base-resume /mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/resume/resume06012026.docx \
  --job-description jobs.json \
  --job-index 0 \
  --output "resume_tailored_Senior_AI_Engineer.docx"

Phase 5: Perform Gap Analysis

bash
python3 scripts/gap_analyzer.py \
  --base-skills base_skills.json \
  --job-requirements jobs.json \
  --output gap_analysis.json

Output: gap_analysis.json

json
[
  {
    "job_title": "Senior AI Engineer",
    "skill_gaps": [
      {
        "skill": "Kubernetes",
        "gap_type": "missing",
        "importance": "high",
        "related_experience": ["Docker experience in current role"]
      }
    ],
    "interview_questions": [
      "Explain your understanding of Kubernetes orchestration...",
      "How would you design a Kubernetes deployment for ML models?",
      "..."
    ],
    "linkedin_updates": {
      "about_section": "Add: 'Experienced in containerization with Docker, transitioning to Kubernetes for production ML deployments'",
      "skills_to_add": ["Kubernetes", "Container Orchestration", "MLOps"]
    }
  }
]

Phase 6: Generate Interview Questions

bash
python3 scripts/question_generator.py \
  --gap-analysis gap_analysis.json \
  --questions-per-gap 10 \
  --output interview_prep.md

Phase 7: Cleanup

bash
bash /mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/.claude/skills/browsing-with-playwright/scripts/stop-server.sh

Configuration

Edit config.json in skill directory:

json
{
  "resume_path": "/mnt/d/Ali_Home/Learning/AgenticAI/AI-P009/Assignments/ProjectA1/resume_optimizer/resume/resume06012026.docx",
  "output_directory": "./resume_optimizer/output",
  "playwright_port": 8808,
  "job_search": {
    "default_keywords": "AI Engineer remote",
    "default_count": 2,
    "location": "Remote"
  },
  "ats_optimization": {
    "keyword_density_target": 0.75,
    "exact_match_priority": true,
    "preserve_formatting": true
  },
  "interview_prep": {
    "questions_per_gap": 10,
    "include_behavioral": true,
    "include_technical": true
  }
}

ATS Optimization Strategies

See references/ats-optimization-guide.md for detailed strategies including:

Keyword Density

  • Required Skills: 70-80% coverage
  • Preferred Skills: 40-50% coverage
  • Exact Match: Use exact phrases from job description
  • Context Integration: Weave keywords naturally into experience descriptions

Keyword Placement Priority

  1. Professional Summary (highest ATS weight)

    • Include job title keyword
    • Top 3-5 required skills
    • Industry-specific terminology
  2. Skills Section (exact match critical)

    • Mirror job posting's skills terminology exactly
    • Group by category if job posting does
  3. Experience Descriptions (context + keywords)

    • Integrate keywords into achievement statements
    • Use action verbs + keyword + quantifiable result

Natural Integration Techniques

Action Verb + Keyword + Result:

Before: "Worked on machine learning projects"
After: "Developed TensorFlow-based ML models, reducing inference time by 30%"

Technology Stack Enumeration:

Before: "Built backend systems"
After: "Built scalable backend systems using Python, Docker, and Kubernetes on AWS infrastructure"

LinkedIn Automation

See references/linkedin-automation.md for:

  • Navigation patterns for LinkedIn job search
  • Element selectors and snapshot references
  • Rate limiting and anti-bot detection strategies
  • Fallback strategies if elements change

Key Points:

  • Implement random delays (1-3 seconds between actions)
  • Use --shared-browser-context flag for Playwright MCP
  • Handle rate limiting with exponential backoff
  • Parse snapshots for job card refs

Interview Question Generation

See references/interview-prep-patterns.md for:

  • STAR method question templates
  • Technical depth assessment questions
  • Behavioral questions for skill gaps
  • System design scenarios

Question Distribution:

  • Missing Skills: 40% fundamentals, 30% transferable experience, 30% scenarios
  • Weak Skills: 40% depth assessment, 30% practical application, 30% troubleshooting

Error Handling

No Jobs Found

python
if len(jobs) == 0:
    print("No jobs found matching criteria. Suggestions:")
    print("- Broaden search keywords")
    print("- Remove 'remote' filter")
    print("- Try alternative job titles")
    sys.exit(1)

Resume Read Errors

python
try:
    resume_text = extract_resume(resume_path)
except FileNotFoundError:
    print(f"Resume not found at {resume_path}")
    print("Please provide valid resume path with --resume-path")
    sys.exit(1)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error reading resume: {e}")
    print("Ensure resume is valid .docx format")
    sys.exit(1)

LinkedIn Rate Limiting

python
# Implement exponential backoff
for attempt in range(3):
    try:
        job_data = scrape_job(url)
        break
    except RateLimitError:
        wait_time = 2 ** attempt * 5  # 5s, 10s, 20s
        time.sleep(wait_time)

Playwright Connection Failures

  • Pre-flight check: Verify server running before job search
  • Auto-restart server if connection fails
  • Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts)

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Playwright not responding Restart: bash scripts/stop-server.sh && bash scripts/start-server.sh
LinkedIn blocks automation Add wait times, use headless:false, rotate user agents
Resume conversion fails Verify pandoc installed: pandoc --version
ATS optimization weak Review keyword extraction, increase density target in config.json
No skill gaps detected Lower similarity threshold in gap_analyzer.py
Python packages missing Run: pip install python-docx spacy nltk pandas requests
spaCy model not found Run: python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Output Summary Format

After running the workflow, you'll receive a summary report:

    "description": "Paste full job description here..."
  }
]
  1. Run workflow with manual jobs:
bash
python3 scripts/workflow_orchestrator.py \
  --manual-jobs jobs_manual.json \
  --skip-linkedin

Custom Keyword Extraction

Override automatic skill extraction:

bash
python3 scripts/ats_optimizer.py \
  --base-resume resume.docx \
  --job-description jobs.json \
  --job-index 0 \
  --custom-keywords "Python,TensorFlow,Kubernetes,AWS" \
  --output tailored_resume.docx
