ATS Detector

Q: How do I know the ATS Detector output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The evidence for the detected system is quoted from the address; An unknown system is reported as unknown, with the strict rules applied; Every failed rule has a specific fix; The file type recommendation is stated.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-10-04 🔷 SkillSpec L3 ⚙ ships an executable helper pm-cv

Work out which applicant tracking system a job uses from its application link, and give the formatting rules that system parses safely. Use when asked which ATS does this company use, will my CV get through the ATS, is my CV ATS friendly, or how should I format for Workday, Greenhouse, Lever or Taleo. Produces the detected system with the evidence, a parsing-safe formatting checklist, the file type to upload, and a check of a supplied CV against the rules.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Which ATS is this job using? https://acme.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/...”“Is my CV ATS friendly?”“How should I format my CV for Greenhouse?”“Will this two-column CV get through Taleo?”

What to give it

▸The application link — the page where the "Apply" button leads, not the company homepage

▸The CV — , if the person wants it checked

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The evidence for the detected system is quoted from the address

✓An unknown system is reported as unknown, with the strict rules applied

✓Every failed rule has a specific fix

✓The file type recommendation is stated

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Guessing the vendor from the company's size or industry.** Only the address is evidence.

**Promising a CV will "pass the ATS".** Systems rank and filter differently, and humans decide. Say it will parse cleanly.

**Keyword-stuffing advice.** Hidden white text and keyword blocks are detected and look worse to the human reader.

**Treating a beautiful two-column design as fine.** It may be fine for a human; it is a risk for the parser.
