- [relevan-setup](https://api.dev.relevan.dev/skills/relevan-setup/SKILL.md): Set up Relevan search from the start: authenticate, create an index, load documents, run the first search, and send the first feedback. Use when a user asks you to add Relevan search to a product.
- [relevan-ranking-signals](https://api.dev.relevan.dev/skills/relevan-ranking-signals/SKILL.md): Find the data that tells Relevan which result is the best one, such as prices, sales, or activity, and add it to each document. Use before you design a Relevan mapping.
