## 📋 Installation & Usage

This theme is compatible with [resumed](https://github.com/rbardini/resumed), a powerful command-line tool for managing, previewing, and publishing your JSON Resume.

### Sample Commands

```bash

npm install -g resumed

# Initialize a new resume in the current directory
resumed init

# Preview your resume with the tech theme

## ⚙️ Customization Options

This theme offers special formatting options to better showcase your technical skills and experience. For the "experience" and "skills" sections, you can optionally replace the standard "highlights" list with a more detailed "details" list format:

```
"details": [
  { "text": "Javascript", "comment": "expert" },
  { "text": "Coffeescript", "comment": "expert" },
  { "text": "Ruby", "comment": "competent" },
  { "text": "Java", "comment": "novice" }
]
```

See the included resume.json for more examples and detailed formatting options.

### Schema extensions (theme-specific)

These fields are not part of the core [JSON Resume schema](https://jsonresume.org/schema/) but are supported by this theme:

- **Executive Summary**: The summary block uses the heading **Executive Summary** (standard [`basics.summary`](https://jsonresume.org/schema/) prose).
- **`basics.highlights`**: Optional array of strings, same conventions as `work[].highlights` (including inline HTML where you already use it elsewhere). Rendered as **Career Highlights** immediately below the executive summary in the same section.
- **`recognition`**: Optional root object `{ "title", "summary", "highlights" }`, rendered after **Patents** (`publications`). `title` may be empty; `summary` is shown as a short line; `highlights` is a bullet list. The section appears when any of these fields has content.
- **`leadership`**: Optional root object with the same shape as `recognition`, rendered after **Projects** and before **Skills**. The section appears when any of `title`, `summary`, or `highlights` has content.

Example:

```json
{
  "basics": {
    "summary": "…",
    "highlights": [
      "<strong>Led</strong> platform engineering across cloud and edge."
    ]
  },
  "recognition": {
    "title": "",
    "summary": "10+ years",
    "highlights": ["Patent co-inventor on …"]
  },
  "leadership": {
    "title": "",
    "summary": "Led engineering through hyper-growth.",
    "highlights": ["Built hiring and onboarding programs from zero."]
  }
}
```
