## About

## What it does
Skills Directory lets you look up skills by name and page through a skills list. Send a `name`, `per_page`, or `include_related` query, and get back structured skill records with their related skills, along with pagination metadata and navigation links.

Each item in `data` includes an `id`, `name`, `slug`, and `related_skills` array. Related skills are returned with their own `id`, `name`, `slug`, and `weight`, which makes it easy to rank or group adjacent skills in your product. The response also includes `meta` fields such as `current_page`, `from`, `last_page`, `per_page`, `to`, and `total`, plus `links` for `first`, `last`, `prev`, and `next` pages.

Use Skills Directory when you need a canonical skills list for search, filtering, onboarding flows, job taxonomy, or recommendation systems. For example, you can match a user-entered skill name to the catalog, then surface related skills to suggest next steps or similar capabilities.

Because the response is already normalized, you can feed it directly into autocomplete, internal tooling, or analytics without additional reshaping.
