Practical Utility
- info:Usage examplesWhile the SKILL.md details the process and output format, explicit, ready-to-use end-to-end examples showing input, invocation, and outcome are not provided within the skill's documentation.
- info:Edge casesThe SKILL.md documents failure modes like missing context and prompts to start with the North Star, but more detailed edge cases and recovery steps could be elaborated.
