Core Workflow
- Confirm the request matches this skill's trigger, scope, and risk profile.
- Use the topic map to identify the relevant pattern, checklist, or example before writing detailed guidance or code.
- Load
references/full-guidance.mdwhen implementation details, examples, anti-patterns, validation checks, or edge cases are needed. - Apply only the relevant guidance instead of loading or repeating the entire reference by default.
- Verify the result against any validation checks, limitations, security notes, or platform constraints in the reference.
