## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability strale-skill-gap-analyzer-7294e855
```

Example prompt: Can you do a skill gap analysis comparing what's required — Python, machine learning, SQL, and data visualization — against what my candidate has: Python, Excel, and basic statistics?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, auditable comparison between a job's required skills and a candidate's or employee's current skills. It is ideal for HR automation pipelines, ATS integrations, and learning & development workflows where a cryptographically verifiable audit record of the assessment is needed. Prefer this over generic LLM prompting when you need consistent, repeatable skill gap outputs across many candidates.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing required_skills parameter returns an error
- Empty or missing candidate_skills parameter returns an error
- Ambiguous or very short skill lists may produce low-confidence or generic gap assessments
- Skills described in very different terminology may not be correctly matched even if semantically equivalent

## 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

Returns a structured breakdown of matching skills, missing skills, and partial overlaps between the required skills list and the candidate's skills list, along with a summary assessment of the overall competency gap.
