Academic Cv Generator

Source: https://github.com/aipoch/medical-research-skills

When to Use

• You receive a messy, free-form CV draft (Chinese or English) and need it reorganized into a standard academic structure.
• You are asked to compile and format Publications from raw citation strings without changing their original citation format.
• You need to extract and normalize Education and Project Experience entries, then sort them by degree level or time.
• You must generate a Word (.docx) academic CV that matches a predefined visual style (uniform header color, bold headers, bullet lists).
• The user requests a polished CV output file with a fixed naming convention: Name-Academic-CV.docx.

Key Features

• Classifies free-form input into: Personal Information, Educational Background, Project Experience, Publications, Awards (optional), Skills.
• Normalizes content into a required intermediate Markdown outline before rendering.
• Omits the Awards section entirely when no awards are provided.
• Infers a minimal Skills section from project descriptions when explicit skills are missing.
• Renders a Word document aligned to the reference layout output/ZhangWei-Academic-CV.docx.
• Applies consistent styling rules: single-line section titles, larger than body text, bold, and one uniform header color.

Dependencies

• Python 3.x
• python-docx (install via pip install python-docx)

Implementation Details

1) End-to-end workflow

1. Parse the input and classify content into:
   • Personal Information
   • Educational Background
   • Project Experience
   • Publications
   • Skills
   • Awards (optional)
2. Convert the classified result into the required Markdown layout (mandatory intermediate step).
3. If Awards is empty, omit the section from both Markdown and DOCX.
4. If Skills is empty, infer skills from project experience and output a minimal skills list.
5. Render the CV into Word using the same visual structure as output/ZhangWei-Academic-CV.docx.
6. Ensure section titles are single-line, bold, larger than body text, and share one uniform color.
7. Save as Name-Academic-CV.docx.

2) Classification rules

• Personal Information: name, title, organization, email, phone.
• Educational Background: degree (PhD/Master/Bachelor), major, school, year; sort from highest to lowest degree.
• Project Experience: project name + time range + responsibilities/description; sort by time (most recent first).
• Publications: keep original citation strings exactly as provided (no reformatting).
• Skills: use explicit skills if present; otherwise infer from project content.

3) Required Markdown output format (intermediate representation)
