APPENDIX G: LAB SETUP GUIDE

SYNTHETIC DATA GUIDANCE Every resume and job posting in the sample_data folder must be invented by you or created as placeholder text. Never use a real person's name, contact details, work history, or any other real personal information. Use obviously fictional names such as Jordan Sampleperson and Riley Testcase. Keep each early resume short, under one page. Invent skills and experience freely to create the spread of cases you need, namely a strong match, a partial match, a no match, an injection case, and an empty file. Make the two long resumes two to three pages of clearly fictional text to stress the context budget. RUNNING THE LAB Run the agent from the terminal inside the project folder. Watch the output and then open the files in the reports and logs folders to see what the agent did. The full batch of twenty-five resumes should finish in a few minutes against a hosted model, and it is small enough to run again and again while you test the prompts in this book. Keep your key in an environment variable, and check each time that it is not visible in any file you save.
