| Styling | Tailwind CSS (CDN) |
| Fonts | Cormorant Garamond + DM Sans (Google Fonts) |

| Backend | None — 100% client-side |
Two features use the Anthropic Claude API: Story Mode (rewrites bullet points) and Summary Rewrite.
The entire app works without an API key. If no key is configured, these two features fall back to a built-in local enhancement engine that still adds metrics and fixes weak verbs — just without the full AI magic.
No setup needed. API calls are automatically handled. Just click Story Mode and it works.
- Get a free API key at console.anthropic.com → sign up → API Keys → Create Key
- Open
js/story-rewriter.jsin any text editor - Find line 29 — it looks like this:
const ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = '';
- Paste your key between the quotes:
const ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = 'sk-ant-api03-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
- Save the file and refresh
index.htmlin your browser. Done ✓
⚠️ Security warning: Never commit your real API key to a public GitHub repository.
Your key would be exposed to anyone who visits the repo and could be abused.
See the safe alternatives below.
Option 1 — Keep it local only (simplest)
Add js/story-rewriter.js to your .gitignore so the file with your key is never pushed:
echo "js/story-rewriter.js" >> .gitignoreKeep a story-rewriter.example.js in the repo with the empty key as a template.
Option 2 — Use a tiny local proxy server
Run a minimal Express server that injects the key server-side:
npm install express http-proxy-middlewareStore your key in a .env file (already in .gitignore) and proxy /v1/messages through it.
Option 3 — Deploy with environment variables (Netlify / Vercel)
Use a serverless function to forward requests. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY as an environment variable in your hosting dashboard — it never touches the frontend code.
Just use the app normally. When you click Story Mode, the local fallback engine:
- Replaces weak openers ("helped with", "assisted in") with strong action verbs
- Injects plausible quantified metrics where none exist
- Ensures every bullet ends with a measurable result
It's not as powerful as Claude AI, but it's still significantly better than raw unedited bullets.
- Start with a template that matches your industry
- Fill in your experience — use the bullet points for achievements, not responsibilities
- Click Story Mode on each role to supercharge your bullets with AI
- Paste a job description in the Job Match tab to tailor your resume
- Check your ATS score — aim for 80%+
- Export your PDF when ready
