Latexy TUI

LaTeX resume compilation, ATS scoring, and AI optimization — right in your terminal.

Install

npm install -g latexy
# or
pnpm add -g latexy

Quick start

latexy                                         # interactive mode
latexy compile my-resume.tex                   # compile a local .tex file
latexy compile --resume-id <uuid>              # compile by resume ID
latexy compile --resume-id <uuid> --output out.pdf

Authentication

In interactive mode, run /login to open the sign-in overlay.

For CI / headless use, set the LATEXY_SESSION_TOKEN env var:

LATEXY_SESSION_TOKEN=<token> latexy compile --resume-id <uuid> --json

CI / Headless mode

When stdout is not a TTY (CI pipelines, scripts), Latexy runs in headless mode and outputs JSON:

latexy compile --resume-id <uuid> --json
# → { "success": true, "pages": 2, "size_bytes": 45123, "ats_score": 84 }

Exit codes:

| Code | Meaning | |------|---------| | 0 | Success | | 1 | Compilation failed | | 2 | Not authenticated | | 3 | Unknown subcommand / invalid args |
