Algolia Index Configuration

Use this skill when changing how Algolia ranks, filters, facets, merchandises, or sorts results. Relevance configuration should reflect the business outcome and the user's decision path.

Customer-Facing Standard

• Capture the current settings or assumptions before recommending changes.
• Tie every setting change to a business goal and representative query set.
• 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 settings, expected tradeoffs, rollback notes, and validation queries.
• Produce a settings decision record that distinguishes deterministic constraints, ranking preferences, and query-specific merchandising.
