Problem

The tailor prompt trusted the LLM to echo the profile's curated skills list back verbatim in the TECHNICAL SKILLS section — it was silently dropping entries. Empty skill categories and unfilled "Tech | Dates" subtitle placeholders were also rendering on the resume, and JD-relevant terms already present in the base resume (methods, tools, frameworks) were getting genericized away instead of preserved.

Fix

  • Render TECHNICAL SKILLS deterministically from the profile's skills_boundary instead of trusting the LLM, guaranteeing every category/entry appears (with a label override so ux_methods renders as "UX Methods").
  • Drop empty skill categories and unfilled "Tech | Dates" placeholders before rendering.
  • Add a KEYWORDS rule so JD-relevant terms already in the base resume are preserved rather than reworded away.

Scope

Single file: src/applypilot/scoring/tailor.py.

…ntion

- Render the TECHNICAL SKILLS section deterministically from the profile's
  skills_boundary instead of trusting the LLM to echo the list back (it was
  silently dropping curated skills). Guarantees every category and entry
  appears, with a label override so "ux_methods" renders as "UX Methods".
- Drop skill categories the LLM leaves empty and unfilled "Tech | Dates"
  subtitle placeholders so they no longer render on the resume.
- Add a KEYWORDS rule so JD-relevant terms already present in the base resume
  (methods, tools, frameworks) are preserved rather than genericized away.
