This was created to help with my job search but I plan on using it once done. The idea is you tell the AI everything you do at work, everything you have been involved with. Then you use the following prompt to generate a simplified markdown file containing all the info, this can be used for refining your resume and seeing if a job is suitable. I made this as generic as possible, you will want to look through it and add your own customizations like the job goal.
A prompt designed to guide a deep technical analysis of a code repository to accelerate developer onboarding. It instructs an AI to analyze the entire codebase and generate a structured Markdown document covering architecture, technology stack, key components, execution and data flows, integrations, testing, security, and build/deployment, serving as a technical reference guide.
