jobless

npx jobless

First it rejects you. Then it introduces an engineer.

jobless is a reverse ATS. The market has been parsing humans in 400ms. This package parses you, then parses the job post, then shows Yonas Alem — senior software engineer, remote, production systems.

The trap

You run the command. It pretends to be Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or Workday. It reads a couple of harmless local hints (git name, email, laptop user). It writes a rejection letter addressed to you, with a fake ATS score and a pile of applicants.

Then it breaks character and offers l — paste the posting that just rejected you — or h to hire.

Skip the theater with npx jobless --resume. Record it with --seed=42 and --no-color.

Lint the posting, not the human

npx jobless lint posting.txt
npx jobless lint jobs/
pbpaste | npx jobless lint
npx jobless lint --fix posting.txt
npx jobless lint --format=github jobs/
npx jobless lint --tweet posting.txt
npx jobless lint --rules

Or run npx jobless and press l. c copies the last rejection letter.

error  too many interview rounds
       max-rounds
       L3  Six interview rounds.

RESULT    REJECTED
28/100
FIT  overlap  Senior  ·  Remote

Errors fail the process (exit 1). --fix prints a unified diff and does not write files unless you pass --write. --format=github emits ::error annotations. jobless-disable-next-line no-fake-salary skips a line.
