How modern applicant tracking systems (ATS) rank resumes in 2026 and how to tailor a resume per job posting so it clears them: keyword strategy grounded in the candidate's real experience, job-title placement, coverage targets, parser-safe formatting, knockout questions, and the anti-stuffing and hidden-text rules that screeners and recruiters now catch. Truthful tailoring only.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Overview

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software between a submitted resume and a human recruiter. In 2026 the big platforms parse the resume into fields, apply the employer's knockout questions, and increasingly add an AI match layer that grades candidates against the posting's requirements semantically. The winning move is truthful, per-job tailoring that makes each real requirement easy to find; the losing move is keyword stuffing or hidden text, which recruiters and screening tools now catch.

This skill encodes how they rank and how to tailor a resume to a specific posting without fabricating anything. The ethic is non-negotiable: every keyword must map to real experience the candidate actually has.

## Mental model

Three gates stand between a resume and an interview: the parser (can the machine read it?), the knockouts and AI match (does it visibly meet the stated requirements?), and the human skim (is the evidence specific and credible?). Most "ATS rejections" are knockout answers or a human never opening the file in a flooded queue, not a keyword score. Optimize for a requirement-by-requirement read, by machine and human alike.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add muvon/octomind-tap/ats-optimization@sha256:c88b65db4bbdf438

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.a69e0bb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
