detect-ats

detect-ats is a command for Claude Code from squerne/open-career-skills. It costs 15 tokens per session (195 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command workflow for identifying a company's applicant tracking system, the software that receives and processes job applications. It uses a company name or job-posting URL and reports the vendor only when the evidence confirms it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking which applicant tracking system a company uses and identifying the CV rules that apply, with an option to pass those rules to a CV-optimization workflow.
Why use it?

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

detect-ats scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Use the ats-detective skill (.claude/skills/ats-detective/SKILL.md) exactly as written.

  • Target: $ARGUMENTS if provided, otherwise ask the user for a company name or a posting URL.
  • A URL is worth far more than a name: it often settles the vendor in Step 1 with no requests at all, so ask for one if the user only gave a name and the probes come back inconclusive.
  • Respect the skill's confirmation rules: a board that answers is evidence, a guess is not. Report "unconfirmed" plainly rather than naming a vendor you did not establish.
  • End with the 3-4 rules that actually change this CV, and offer /optimize-cv to apply them.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
