Some portfolio problems are mechanical enough for the editor to catch before you share the site. That is what the recruiter checklist is for.

The checklist is rule-based and deliberately small: is there a clear call to action in the hero? Does any text fail contrast against its background? Are any images heavy enough to hurt load time? Do all external links actually resolve? Each flag names the exact field to fix — no vague "improve your design" advice.

What it deliberately doesn't do is score your writing or rank you against anyone. Those judgments belong to humans. The checklist's job is humbler: to make sure a mechanical oversight — a typo'd GitHub URL, a grey-on-grey paragraph — never costs you a callback that your actual work would have earned.

It runs live in the editor's lint panel, and it's free, like everything else that makes the export better. Clear every flag and you can share your link knowing the mechanical layer is sound.
