# Published skills that do the same job, for the scorecard's alternatives block

> Nearest published skills by description vector, at or above the same-job threshold.

The reader's counterpart to `/neighbors`: that block is a crawl ring and links siblings in
catalogue order, this one answers "what else does this job". Each item carries the registry
dict plus `similarity` (cosine, 0-1). No embedding call is made — the skill's own stored
vector is the query — so an anonymous caller cannot spend the embedding budget. Empty when the
skill has no stored vector or nothing clears the threshold.

Every item is index-eligible on the sitemap's definition, as for `/neighbors`, because the
scorecard renders these as crawlable links.

tags:
  - name: traces
    description: >-
      Ingest, search, and inspect agent execution traces. A trace is the atomic
      unit of the platform — every other feature (evaluation, compatibility
      scoring, dataset building) operates on traces. Each trace is auto-tagged
      with the manifest hash of the agent that produced it.
  - name: eval-scores
    description: >-
      Push, fetch, and aggregate per-trace evaluation scores. Scores carry
      source provenance (built-in, DeepEval, LangSmith, custom) and feed the
      unified decision engine, which produces a keep / repair / replay / drop
      verdict per trace.
  - name: skills
    description: >-
      Manage reusable instruction blocks (SKILL.md files) that modify agent
      behavior. Skills are first-class manifest components — changes to a skill
      appear in your regression-check impact reports. Use these endpoints to
      create, version, fork, and sync skills with your local SKILL.md files.
  - name: manifests
    description: >-
      Register and inspect manifest versions. A manifest is a snapshot of your
      agent's structural identity (tools, prompts, models, skills) at a point in
      time. The SDK registers manifests automatically; these endpoints expose
      the underlying records.
  - name: datasets
    description: >-
      Build versioned SFT/DPO training datasets from manifest-classified,
      eval-scored traces. Datasets are reproducible — each version locks the
      manifest and filter set used to build it. Export as JSONL, Parquet, or
      push to HuggingFace Hub.
  - name: replay
    description: >-
      Re-execute historical traces against a new manifest version. Replay is the
      deferred-future capability for behavioral verification of agent changes.
      The SDK creates a replay batch, your worker executes each task, then
      submits results back here for eval scoring.
  - name: registry
    description: >-
      Browse and install published skills from the public skills registry. Each
      registry skill carries a SkillScore — an evidence-tiered quality composite
      computed from real-world evals, benchmarks, and ratings across
      organizations. Installing creates a fork in your org — edits don't affect
      the public version.
  - name: agents
    description: >-
      List and inspect agents, plus their multi-agent topology (orchestrator →
      sub-agent edges discovered from traces). Agents are identified by a stable
      agent_name string set in your SDK init() call.
  - name: import
    description: >-
      Bulk-import historical traces from another observability platform or a
      JSONL backup. Useful for migrating from LangSmith / Braintrust / Langfuse.
      Duplicate trace IDs are silently skipped — re-running an import is safe.
