​
1. Install

go install github.com/ovsec/resumelang@latest
Verify: 
resumelang version

​
2. Scaffold a resume

resumelang init
# → created resume.yml
The starter file already includes: 
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://resumelang.dev/schema/v1.json
resumelang: v1

meta:
  theme: minimal
That preamble unlocks autocomplete and red-squiggle validation in any editor that speaks the YAML language server (VS Code, Neovim, JetBrains).

​
3. Build every format

resumelang build resume.yml
You get: 
dist/
├── resume.html
├── resume.json    # JSON Resume schema
├── resume.md      # GitHub-flavored markdown
└── resume.txt     # ATS-safe plain text
PDF is one keystroke away — open dist/resume.html in a browser and print.

​
4. Switch theme

Either change meta.theme in the YAML file, or build with a flag: 
resumelang build resume.yml --formats html
Built-in themes: minimal, aurora, material, terminal, sap. See Themes for previews and how to add your own.

​
5. Open the live editor

resumelang serve
# → http://127.0.0.1:5500
Edit YAML on the left, watch the preview re-render on the right. Drag the splitter, switch themes, hit Print to save as PDF. Drafts auto-save to the browser’s localStorage so you can close the tab without losing work.

​
6. Ship it

Publish via GitHub Actions

Every push to resume.yml rebuilds and deploys to GitHub Pages.

Use the VS Code extension

Inline preview, schema validation, theme picker — without leaving your editor.
