## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability rafid-cv-job-match-scorer-6a3231e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you score how well this candidate's CV matches our open Python developer role? Here's the CV text and the job description — I want to see the overall match score, which required skills they have or are missing, and any experience gaps.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, quantitative match score between a specific CV and a specific job description — especially when you need per-skill breakdown, experience gap analysis, and decision-support output rather than a simple pass/fail. Prefer this over general LLM summarization when you need consistent scoring categories and machine-readable results for downstream ranking or filtering workflows.

## Known failure modes

- CV text or job description not provided — returns validation error
- CV or job description exceeds character limits (200k/100k) — truncation or rejection
- Poorly structured or empty input text yields low-confidence scores
- Ambiguous skill names may result in unmatched requirements despite candidate having them
- Non-English CVs or job descriptions may reduce accuracy
