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

resume-ats-optimizer 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 4d 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.

Resume ATS Optimizer

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Optimize their resume for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
  • Check if their resume will pass automated screening
  • Understand why their applications aren't getting responses
  • Mentions keywords like: "ATS", "not getting interviews", "resume not working", "optimize resume", "keyword optimization"

Also use when the user provides a resume file and mentions they're applying to jobs.

Core Capabilities

  • Parse resume and test ATS compatibility
  • Extract and analyze keywords against job descriptions
  • Identify formatting issues that break ATS parsers
  • Calculate match scores between resume and job postings
  • Suggest keyword additions and placements
  • Generate ATS-friendly formatting recommendations

The ATS Problem

75% of resumes are rejected by Applicant Tracking Systems before a human ever sees them. Companies use ATS to:

  • Filter out unqualified candidates automatically
  • Search for specific keywords from job requirements
  • Parse resumes into structured data
  • Rank candidates by keyword match percentage

Common reasons resumes fail ATS:

  1. Poor formatting (tables, columns, headers/footers)
  2. Missing keywords from job description
  3. Inconsistent section headers
  4. Non-standard fonts or special characters
  5. Text embedded in images
  6. Incorrect file format

ATS Compatibility Checklist

File Format

  • ✅ Use .docx or .pdf (not .pages, .odt)
  • ✅ PDF must be text-based, not scanned image
  • ✅ File name: "FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf"

Font & Formatting

  • ✅ Standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Times New Roman
  • ✅ Font size: 10-12pt for body, 14-16pt for headers
  • ✅ No text boxes, tables, or columns
  • ✅ No headers/footers (put contact info in body)
  • ✅ No images, graphics, or charts
  • ✅ Consistent date formats (MM/YYYY)
  • ✅ Standard bullet points (•, -, *)

Section Headers

Use standard, recognizable headers:

  • ✅ "Professional Experience" or "Work Experience" (not "Where I've Been")
  • ✅ "Education" (not "Academic Background")
  • ✅ "Skills" (not "Core Competencies")
  • ✅ "Summary" or "Professional Summary"
