Notes

• Frontmatter is mandatory. The CI validator (tools/validate_rules.py) will fail any sub-skill without a valid frontmatter against schemas/skill-manifest.json.
• Action directives, not descriptions. "SQL injection is dangerous" is a description; "Never concatenate user input directly into SQL queries; always use prepared statements" is an action directive.
• Reference: ERR-YYYY-NNN on every rule born out of a real observed mistake.
• Token budget under 3000. When exceeded, split into thematic sub-skills with loads_after chains.
