Add a Certification

Use this skill when the user wants to add a new certification document. It appears in the homepage's Certifications section (and /).

When to use this skill

• Use this when the user says "add a cert", "new certification", "I just got certified", or "add a credential".
• Use this when the user wants to track a professional accreditation.

Workflow

1. Direct the user to Content → Pages → Homepage → Certifications → Create new.
2. Fill the form with the following fields:
   • Title — required (e.g. "AWS Solutions Architect Associate").
   • Issuer — reference to a certificationIssuer doc. Add a new one if it doesn't exist.
   • Issued at — date the cert was issued.
   • Never expires — toggle on for lifetime certs. Hides the expiry fields.
   • Expires at — only shown if neverExpires = false. Validated: must be after issuedAt.
   • Credential URL — link to verify the cert. Hidden if neverExpires.
   • Category — reference to certificationCategory.
   • Tags — array of strings.
   • Order — display order (lower = first).
   • Image — optional. Certificate image with alt text.
3. The Expiring soon badge (red) will appear within 90 days of expiresAt.

Common mistakes

• Setting neverExpires = true for a cert you know expires — the expiry is just hidden, not waived.
• Skipping the Issuer reference — the cert won't group properly on the homepage.
