{"format":"markdown","guide":"# Tiny CV Markdown Guide\n\nTiny CV resumes are plain markdown with optional YAML frontmatter.\n\n## File shape\n\n```md\n---\nstylePreset: editorial\naccentTone: forest\ndensity: standard\nheaderAlignment: left\ncontactStyle: compact\npageMargin: 1\nshowHeaderDivider: false\nshowSectionDivider: true\npageSize: letter\n---\n\n# Alex Morgan\nFounder & Product Engineer\nSan Francisco, CA | [alex@example.com](mailto:alex@example.com) | [linkedin.com/in/alexmorgan](https://linkedin.com/in/alexmorgan)\n\n## Summary\nProduct-minded builder with experience across product, engineering, and go-to-market.\n\n## Experience\n### Founder | Meridian Labs\n*Remote | 2023 - Present*\n- Built the first product surface and shipped the company to revenue.\n\n## Skills\nLanguages: TypeScript, Python, SQL\nFrameworks: React, Next.js, Node.js\n```\n\n## Rules\n\n- The first `#` heading is the candidate name.\n- The next non-empty line is treated as the headline unless it looks like contact info. Keep it under 80 characters for publish-ready resumes.\n- Contact info can be plain text or markdown links and is usually separated with `|`.\n- Always include `## Summary` for publish-ready resumes.\n- Top-level sections use `##`.\n- Resume entries inside sections use `###`.\n- For experience-like sections, entry metadata goes on the next italic line in the form `*Location, Remote, or website | Dates*`.\n- Education may use a date-only italic line.\n- Project-like sections may omit metadata entirely.\n- Bullets should be separate lines beginning with `-`. Tiny CV also parses `*`, `•`, `–`, and `—` line bullets, but agents should emit `-`.\n- Do not write inline dot-separated lists like `Role one • Role two • Role three`.\n- A `Skills` section should use `Label: value` rows.\n- Treat validation errors as blockers before publish or payment.\n\n## Headline vs Summary\n\nThe line after the candidate name is a short headline, not a summary.\nKeep it under 80 characters.\n\nGood:\n\n```md\n# Andrew Jiang\nFounder & Product Operator\n\n## Summary\nBuilder and founder with deep business development, product, design, and engineering experience.
