Ten resumes, one rule-based factory.

Each of the ten sites below was produced by the same deterministic static-site assembler. Inputs: a JSON manifest plus a content file. Outputs: an HTML site, a PDF, a DOCX, a plain-text resume, a VCF contact card, an Open Graph image. No server, no JavaScript framework, no LLM at runtime.

20 themes · 40+ section components · 0 dependencies at runtime
· Work in progress — real output, still being refined ·

How it works

Each resume above is produced by running one command against a single manifest file. The manifest declares which theme to use, which sections to include, and the content for each section. The factory assembles everything into a self-contained site with these artifacts:

The factory has 20 themes, 40+ section components (experience, education, publications, patents, speaking, teaching, military, hobbies, testimonials, press kits, github activity, tools stack, more). Adding a new theme is one folder of CSS plus a small manifest. Adding a new section component is similar.

This is one of five systems that were built alongside the Return of the Coder essay to demonstrate the same method: use AI to write rules, then run rule-based systems without AI.
