Build a Professional Resume Builder with Claude Code

Build a Professional Resume Builder web app. People search for "resume builder" about 350,000 times a month, plus related searches like "resume builder free", "CV maker online", "ATS resume builder". The goal is a tool that ranks for those searches and makes money.

What it should do:
Build a professional resume builder web app. Start with a clean landing page with a 'Build My Resume' button. Create a multi-step wizard with progress bar: Personal Info → Work Experience → Education → Skills → Review. Build simple forms for each step with clean input fields and labels. For work experience, include fields for job title, company, dates, and a description textarea. Create a live preview panel showing the resume updating as users type. Start with one clean, professional template layout. Add placeholder text and sample data to make it feel polished immediately. Focus on the core form flow and live preview.

How to build it:
1. Read this folder first. If it is empty, set up Next.js (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind). Write a short PLAN.md with the pages, components, any library or API you need, and what you are leaving for later. Then build.
2. Put the tool itself on the homepage so a visitor can use it within seconds, with no sign-up. Do the processing in the browser where you can, so it is fast and cheap to run. Look at how Resume Genius, Zety, Kickresume do it and make ours simpler and faster.
3. Make it rank. Use "resume builder" in the title tag, H1 and meta description. Under the tool, add a short how-to and an FAQ with FAQPage schema, and add a sitemap and robots.txt. Scaffold these programmatic pages from one template and a data file: /resume-builder-for-[job-title], /[company]-resume-template, /ats-resume-checker-[industry].
4. Monetisation: Freemium: 1 free resume, $14.99/mo unlimited + premium templates. Add a pricing page and the free usage limit, and leave Stripe checkout as a clearly marked stub with the environment variables it needs.
5. Run it locally and test the main flow end to end, including edge cases like empty input and very large files. Fix what breaks, then finish with a summary of what works, what is stubbed and how to deploy it to Vercel.

Paste it into Claude Code in an empty folder. It plans first, so read PLAN.md and steer before it starts building.
