resume2agent

An open-source mini-tool with a browser extension that captures profile-shaped source material and converts it into an agent-shaped artifact you run from a local CLI.

01

The itch

Resumes, job descriptions and LinkedIn profiles are all the same document in different fonts: a structured claim about what someone can do.

That's very close to an agent definition already. The gap between the two is mostly formatting, which felt like a thing a small tool should close.

02

The build

A browser extension captures the source material where it lives, and converts it into an agent-shaped artifact you run from a local CLI.

Everything runs on your machine. Profile-shaped data is exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't need to be uploaded somewhere to be useful, and the tool is small enough that it doesn't have to be.

Open source, published under workingrobotdanceparty.

The surprise

The capture step was the hard part, not the conversion. I assumed turning a profile into an agent definition would be where the difficulty lived; in practice, reliably getting clean structure out of pages that actively resist being read took most of the effort.

What's next

The oldest thing here, and mostly dormant. The idea underneath it keeps resurfacing though — the useful primitive isn't the resume, it's turning any structured claim about capability into something runnable.
