# Quick Start

Prerequisites:

- Windows 10/11
- .NET 10 runtime for local execution outside packaged release

Install and run:

1. Download a release build or build the `CVSmia` project locally.
2. Start `CVSmia.exe`.

Recommended first flow:

1. Open a sample or your own jsonresume file with `Ctrl+O` in `Customizer`.
2. Review the source data in the left tree.
3. Add relevant nodes to the tailored resume on the right.
4. Save with `Ctrl+S`.
5. Preview with `Ctrl+P`.
6. Run `Validation` before sharing or exporting.

AI-related quick flow:

1. Ensure AI is enabled in `Settings` and that the relevant license is present.
2. Open `AI-Customizer` to tailor against a job ad, or `AI Assistert CV Manipulator` to process free-form CV text with your own instruction.
3. In `AI Assistert CV Manipulator`, use `Ctrl+O` to load source text into the left text box, choose or write an instruction, then run `Utfør`.

Notes:

- Validation uses the schema configured by `Settings:JsonResumeSchemaPath` (file or folder).
- AI prompt defaults can be adjusted through `ai-prompts.json`, with per-user override in `%APPDATA%\Solsem Consulting\CVSmia\ai-prompts.override.json`.
- Instruction presets for `AI Assistert CV Manipulator` are loaded from `ai-assisted-cv-manipulator-instructions.json`.
- If you use SentinelCore startup verification for paid licenses, configure the `LicenseCallHome` section in `appsettings.json` before first rollout and start with `Mode = ObserveOnly`.
