## About

## What it does
Skills Database lets you search a skills catalog by name and page through results. Send a `name` query to filter matches, `per_page` to control how many records you receive, and `include_related` when you want related skills included in the response.

Each result includes a skill `id`, `name`, `slug`, and a `related_skills` array. Related skills are returned with their own `id`, `name`, `slug`, and `weight`, which makes it useful when you need to build skill taxonomies, autocomplete, or internal matching logic for hiring and learning products.

The response is paginated and includes `data`, `meta`, and `links`, so you can move through large skill lists without guessing at offsets. `meta` gives you the current page, total count, page size, and range information, while `links` provides first, last, previous, and next page URLs.

Use Skills Database when you need structured skill reference data for search, filtering, profile enrichment, or recommendation features.
