Job seekers pay for resumes that render and read right — ATS-safe templates, guidance, and scoring — because a beautiful PDF that the recruiter's system mangles is a rejection you never see.

the prompt
Catalog estimateBuild a personal replacement for Enhancv in an empty repository. Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, SQLite, Drizzle ORM, and an optional OpenAI API; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: create visually polished resume variants from structured user evidence, tailor them against a supplied role, and keep every claim traceable to the user's own evidence. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Create a structured evidence bank for roles, projects, skills, dates, metrics, and source notes. Import a job description and highlight requirements without inventing missing experience. Generate a tailored resume variant only from approved evidence and show the source for each bullet. Add application stages, contacts, tasks, dates, notes, documents, and a follow-up view. Provide interview-question practice with answer notes and a self-review rubric, not deceptive live assistance. Export resume data as JSON and PDF plus the application tracker as CSV. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Deliberately leave out automatic mass application. Deliberately leave out fabricated qualifications or deceptive interview assistance. Deliberately leave out proprietary recruiter databases and guaranteed job outcomes. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used.

questions
Can AI replace Enhancv?
Likely for the core workflow, based on an editorial catalog judgment. This entry is not a verified build yet; use the prompt as a starting point and validate the result against your own acceptance criteria.
How much does Enhancv cost?
Enhancv is listed at about $24.99/month (Pro, checked 2026-07-31), or $299.88 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.
What do I lose by replacing Enhancv?
Honestly: template design, content guidance, scoring, document rendering, and support; proprietary recruiter data; job-board distribution; human coaching; automated application networks. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Enhancv?
Yes — Reactive Resume (Active open-source resume builder with structured data and PDF export.). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
