Validation Checks

Schema Validation

Ensures all YAML files conform to their schemas:

• Required fields present
• Correct data types
• Valid date formats
• Proper ID formats

Content Quality (--content-quality)

Checks for resume writing best practices:

• Weak verbs: Flags "helped", "worked on", "assisted"
• Quantification: Suggests adding metrics to vague statements
• Action verbs: Recommends stronger action verbs

Content Density (--content-density)

Checks bullet point optimization:

• Too short (< 50 chars): May lack impact
• Too long (> 200 chars): May not fit resume
• Optimal range: 80-150 characters

Position References (--check-positions)

Validates that all position_id references in work units point to existing positions.
