weaknesses
~almost entirely referential - points to external patterns.md without providing actionable steps, decision trees, or contracts within the skill itself
~missing trigger phrases, procedure detail, edge case acknowledgment, intent definition, and outcome signals - reads as metadata stub rather than implementable skill
~no code examples, failure modes, recovery strategies, or testing guidance in the document body
