# cv-clone — Resume Visual Cloning ## Overview Given a target resume sample (image/PDF) plus fresh content, produce a compilable **LaTeX template** matching the sample's visual style plus a rendered **PDF preview**. Ships **template cloning only** — content filling is gated behind user confirmation. > Style is cloned, not content. Never copy names, phones, or company claims from the source sample. ## When to Use Use when: - User has a target resume sample (image/PDF) and wants its **visual style** cloned for their own CV - User wants a compilable, editable LaTeX template (not just a static PDF) - User can install `tectonic` Do NOT use when: - User has no sample — no LaTeX template can be cloned without one - User only wants content, no specific external visual style - Target is Word / PowerPoint / Canva — not supported ## Defaults - **Read-only mode.** First deliverable is template + dry-render preview; no user data touched. - **Photo mirrors the sample.** Has a slot → template defines `\cvphoto{path}`. None → no macro. No silent injection. - **Step 5 gate.** After preview, ask: *"Shall I fill this template with your content?"* Affirmative unlocks Step 6. Silence = dry template. - **Sample by path.** Sources referenced by path, never copied. **Can do:** extract a target resume's layout, typography, spacing, and color palette from a PNG/PDF; generate a compilable LaTeX template with `\newcommand` placeholders; compile the template with `tectonic` to produce a PDF pr
