Documentation
- info:Configuration & parameter referenceWhile the SKILL.md outlines the setup process, it does not explicitly document default values or precedence orders for any potential configuration parameters, as it relies on user interaction and external documentation.
Practical Utility
- info:Usage examplesWhile the SKILL.md provides detailed steps, it lacks explicit copy-pasteable invocation examples for the setup process itself. The README provides general plugin usage examples.
