Imports the existing local CV archive: the master ODT (gilestro_CV_full.odt), the dated PDF exports under PDFs/ (2021-12 through 2025-10), a .gitignore for LibreOffice lock/autosave files, and a CLAUDE.md describing the layout and the LibreOffice headless export workflow.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
What this directory is
This is not a code repository. It is a personal CV archive for Giorgio Gilestro, containing:
gilestro_CV_full.odt— the single master/editable source of the CV (OpenDocument Text, edited in LibreOffice).PDFs/— dated, immutable PDF exports of the CV over time.
There is no build system, no tests, and no dependencies here. The global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md rules about Python/venv/pytest/PLANNING.md/tasks/ do not apply in this directory.
This directory syncs with the git remote https://git.lab.gilest.ro/giorgio/myCV.git (Giorgio's self-hosted Gitea). Per Giorgio's preference, the primary branch is master, not main. Never push without an explicit instruction.
PDF naming convention
Exported PDFs follow gilestro_CV_YYYYMM.pdf (e.g. gilestro_CV_202510.pdf for the October 2025 export). When producing a new export, use the current year+month — do not overwrite a prior month's file.
Common operations
-
Export ODT → PDF (headless, writes alongside the source):
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf gilestro_CV_full.odt --outdir PDFs/Then rename the output to
gilestro_CV_YYYYMM.pdf. The headless converter always writesgilestro_CV_full.pdf, so a rename step is required. -
Read the current CV contents without opening LibreOffice:
unzip -p gilestro_CV_full.odt content.xml | sed 's/<[^>]*>/ /g' | tr -s ' 'Useful when the user asks questions about CV content (publications, positions, dates) — the ODT is a zip;
content.xmlholds the text. -
Open for editing:
libreoffice --writer gilestro_CV_full.odt
Working rules specific to this directory
- Never edit the
.odtdirectly via binary/text tools. It is a zipped XML bundle; hand-edits will corrupt it. Defer ODT edits to the user (in LibreOffice) unless explicitly asked to script a change viapython-docx-style tooling againstcontent.xml. - Never delete or overwrite existing dated PDFs in
PDFs/— they are the historical record. - Treat the most recent PDF in
PDFs/(by filename date) as the last "published" snapshot when comparing against the current ODT.
