Algolia NeuralSearch

Use this skill when adding or optimizing NeuralSearch. Neural relevance depends on good records, explicit relevance intent, representative queries, and measurement signals; do not treat it as a switch that fixes poor data. Current public docs state that click and conversion events are not required to activate NeuralSearch, but when present they guide semantic attribute selection and unlock retraining and Adaptive Intent; recheck them before advising on activation.

Customer-Facing Standard

• Treat NeuralSearch as a rollout decision, not a standalone toggle.
• Require evidence for data readiness, event readiness, query evaluation, filters, permissions, and rollback.
• 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 a clear go, limited rollout, fix-first, or do-not-start recommendation.

Official Companion Skills

• Use official algolia-mcp for live query behavior, top searches, no-result searches, click/no-click signals, recommendations, and analytics evidence.
• Use official algolia-cli when settings, replicas, rules, synonyms, or index changes are required.
• Use this skill after the official tool call to produce rollout readiness, semantic query sets, measurement plans, and customer-facing launch guidance.
