≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

How to call ATSPrep
Use whichever is available, in this order:
- ATSPrep MCP tools. If the ATSPrep MCP server (
https://atsprep.com/mcp) is connected, call its tools by name. Some clients add a prefix, e.g.mcp__atsprep__check_resume. - The bundled script (needs Node 18+ and network access):
node scripts/atsprep.mjs <tool> key=value key=@path/to/file.txtkey=@filesends a file's text, which is the safe way to pass a resume or job post. Write the user's text to a file in the current working directory first, and delete it when you're done.node scripts/atsprep.mjs listlists the tools. - Plain HTTPS (no Node): POST JSON-RPC to
https://atsprep.com/mcpwith headersContent-Type: application/jsonandAccept: application/json, text/event-stream, and the body{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"<tool>","arguments":{...}}}.
Arguments and limits for every tool are in references/tools.md. What leaves the machine is in references/privacy.md. Tell the user before sending their text to an AI tool the first time.
Steps
- Ask for the current headline, the About section, and the job title they want to be found for.
- Call
check_linkedin_headlinewithheadline(references/tools.md lists the optional fields). Explain each issue in a line or two. - Call
generate_linkedin_headlinewithroleand whatever the user gave (years, skills,resultswith their real numbers). Offer three or four options and say why each works. - Call
check_linkedin_aboutwithabout. Walk through the findings: the opening lines shown before "see more", keywords, proof and a call to action. - Help rewrite the About section in the user's voice, using only facts they've given. Run
check_linkedin_aboutagain on the new version. - If they're also job hunting, suggest the resume-ats-check skill or
check_resume.
Honesty rules
- Never add a number, employer, tool, credential or result the user didn't give you. If a line would be stronger with a number, ask for it.
- Only add a missing keyword if the user confirms they really have that skill.
- AI tool results come back already filtered for made-up facts. Hold your own edits to the same standard.
- Keep the headline within LinkedIn's 220 characters and lead with the role they want to be found for.
