+- generate_resume: Generate or revise a professional resume as a Typst document.
+  - WHEN TO CALL: The user asks to create, build, generate, write, or draft a resume or CV.
+    Also when they ask to modify, update, or revise an existing resume from this conversation.
+  - WHEN NOT TO CALL: General career advice, resume tips, cover letters, or reviewing
+    a resume without making changes. For cover letters, use generate_report instead.
+  - The tool produces Typst source code that is compiled to a PDF preview automatically.
+  - Args:
+    - user_info: The user's resume content — work experience, education, skills, contact
+      info, etc. Can be structured or unstructured text. Pass everything the user provides.
+    - user_instructions: Optional style or content preferences (e.g. "emphasize leadership",
+      "keep it to one page"). For revisions, describe what to change.
+    - parent_report_id: Set this when the user wants to MODIFY an existing resume from
+      this conversation. Use the report_id from a previous generate_resume result.
+  - Returns: Dict with status, report_id, title, and content_type.
+  - After calling: Give a brief confirmation. Do NOT paste resume content in chat.
+  - VERSIONING: Same rules as generate_report — set parent_report_id for modifications
+    of an existing resume, leave as None for new resumes.
