## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability careerpulse-skills-gap-analysis-d4d119c6
```

Example prompt: I'm currently a junior frontend developer who knows HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React — can you analyze my skills gap and tell me exactly what I need to learn to become a senior full-stack engineer?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants a structured, actionable breakdown of the specific skills they need to acquire to reach a target role — particularly useful for job-seeker agents doing career planning or career-coach agents advising clients on upskilling paths. Prefer over generic job search endpoints when the goal is skill development rather than job matching.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or vague target role returns generic or empty skill list
- Unrecognized niche roles may yield limited gap data
- Overly broad current-skills input reduces precision of gap analysis
- API returns 402 if payment of 0.1 USDC is not processed
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Skills gap analysis for job-seeker and career-coach agents. Returns exactly what skills are needed to reach a target role and how to close the gap.

## Output

Returns a structured skills gap report detailing exactly which skills are missing or underdeveloped relative to the target role, how critical each gap is, and prioritized recommendations for closing each gap through learning, practice, or certification.
