#,##, and###for headings — never number them. - Avoid hyphen bullets in the contents section.
Limitations

- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or scope boundaries are unclear.
- Use this skill only for tasks that match the scope described above.
Security and Safety Notes

- Ensure any generated JSON-LD is properly escaped before use in a programmatic context.
Common Pitfalls
