## 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 strale-skill-extractor-33a8602d
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the skills and qualifications from this job description: 'We are looking for a senior Python developer with 5+ years experience, strong knowledge of AWS, REST API design, and excellent communication skills'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract structured skill data from raw job description or CV/resume text with a verifiable audit trail. Ideal for HR tech pipelines, ATS enrichment, skills gap analysis, or any workflow requiring trustworthy, cryptographically audited skill extraction rather than a simple NLP parse without provenance.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short text input returns no meaningful skills
- Highly ambiguous or non-standard resume/JD format may reduce extraction accuracy
- Missing required 'text' query parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
- Very long text inputs may be truncated or return partial results

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

A structured JSON object listing extracted skills, competencies, and qualifications found in the input text, along with a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for trust verification. Typically includes categorized skill entities (technical, soft, domain-specific) with confidence signals.
