CLI for the .cv open file format. Extract, inspect, validate, and semantic search across resume files.

The cv command line interface reads and writes files in the .cv open file format. A .cv file is a valid PDF/A-3u document that also carries a clean Markdown copy, an optional HTML copy, and pre computed BGE M3 semantic vectors as PDF Associated Files. One file opens visually in any PDF reader, parses cleanly in any applicant tracking system, embeds on any webpage, and answers semantic queries from any retrieval pipeline. The CLI ships the full reader and writer paths: pack a PDF plus text representations into a .cv, extract a payload, inspect XMP metadata, validate against the cv 1.0 specification, and run semantic search over the embedded vectors using the Hugging Face Inference API. The full specification, the JavaScript and Python SDKs, the web component, and the LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations live at https://github.com/cvfile/cv.
