Algolia Autocomplete

Use this skill for search-as-you-type experiences where the user has not committed to a full search results page yet. Autocomplete should help users form intent, not just mirror final results.

Customer-Facing Standard

• Define source strategy and selection behavior before code.
• Validate keyboard, touch, mobile, empty/loading states, routing handoff, and events before launch.
• Use public academy.algolia.com for learning alignment and public algolia.com/doc for current implementation guidance when source-backed context is needed.
• When an Academy metadata reference pack is available, use only its title, url, course, module, learning_objectives, and updated_at fields for structure. If it is stale or no match exists, fall back to live Academy/docs lookup. Do not treat cached metadata as course content or implementation authority.
• Do not require custom Academy/docs access; use customer-provided sources only as optional context.
• When live Algolia data, analytics, index inspection, settings changes, or account actions are needed, use Algolia MCP, the Algolia CLI, or official Algolia skills for the live operation, then apply this skill to interpret results and validate the customer-ready implementation path.
• Produce source ordering, selection contract, implementation notes, and QA checklist.
• Assess the finished experience as helpful, clear, focused, device-usable, and accessible; a technically connected panel is not necessarily ready for users.
