I wanted to try something really fun for generating online profiles and websites; mostly, I wanted it to be customised for each person and have some personality.

So I built a small **Claude skill** that takes a normal resume (or a LinkedIn PDF) and turns it into an **animated, interactive one-page profile**. 

In this post, I'll show you what it does, how it works under the hood, and how you can try it yourself in about two minutes.

The demo uses a fictional person, so no real data was harmed in the making of this GIF. 😄

Here's what ends up on the page:

And the output is just **one HTML file**. No framework, no build step. You can drop it on GitHub Pages, and you're done.

When you ask Claude to make an animated resume, the skill walks through four steps:

That's the whole trick. Claude does the reading and the interviewing, and a plain Python script does the building.

Here's roughly how the skill folder is laid out:

```
skills/animated-resume/
├── SKILL.md                    # the instructions Claude follows
├── assets/template.html        # the animated page
├── assets/example-profile.json # a full fictional example
├── references/schema.md        # every profile.json field
└── scripts/build.py            # profile.json → index.html
```

If you use **Claude Code**, installing it takes two commands:

```
/plugin marketplace add dooa-ansari/animated-resume-claude-skill
/plugin install animated-resume@animated-resume
```

Then just ask:

Make me an animated resume from my CV.

If you use the **Claude app** (claude.ai or desktop), download `animated-resume-skill.zip` from the repo and upload it under **Settings → Capabilities → Skills**.

Since the result is a single HTML file, hosting it is easy:

`index.html` in a GitHub repo.`main` / `(root)`.` https://<your-username>.github.io/<repo>/`.
Now you have a link you can put on your LinkedIn or in your email signature.
