**Usage Rules:**
- **Discovery**: Skills listed above (name + description + file path)
- **Trigger**: Use skill if user mentions `$SkillName` OR task matches description
- **Progressive disclosure**:
  1. Open SKILL.md to get full instructions
  2. Load referenced files (scripts/, references/) only if needed
  3. Prefer running existing scripts vs. retyping code
- **Missing/blocked**: State issue briefly and continue with fallback approach
- **Routing**: Treat `description` as the primary trigger signal
