Use after every resume PDF render, before the editorial verdict is signed, when a vendor parse (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Taleo, SuccessFactors) is in doubt, or when the owner asks whether a resume will parse.

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

# ATS check

Owner: resume-tailor (runs it); resume-editor and the Recruiter re-run it as gate checks. Tier: T0 (the
script writes only its report files). Script: `scripts/ats_check.py`.

## Procedure
1. Work from the user's data folder (`$JAJA_DATA`); V = the resume folder;
   the PDF name comes from the renderer's `meta.yaml`:
   `python3 -c "import sys, yaml; print(yaml.safe_load(open(sys.argv[1]))['pdf'])" V/meta.yaml`.
2. Run (variant; drop `--jd` for a base):
   `python3 scripts/ats_check.py check --pdf <PDF> --jd <the fullest JD: the role-analyst's snapshot in research/targets/evidence/ when one exists, else applications/SLUG/jd.md> --vendor <ats_vendor if greenhouse, lever, ashby, workday, icims, taleo or successfactors, else unknown> --contact-email <the owner's address, default identity.emails[0]> --taxonomy profile/skills-taxonomy.yaml --source V/resume.yaml --out V`
   Exit 0 = pass, 1 = a hard check failed, 2 = usage error (wrong path).
3. Read `V/ats-report.md` (summary) and `V/ats-report.json` (`passed`, `pages`, `checks[]`,
   `failures[]`, `keywords`, `vendor_warnings`, `extractors`, `fonts`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kahl-d/jaja/ats-check@sha256:de052bd80b1c039e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.580eef2, 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.
