Shared Patterns
Overview
Reusable patterns and templates for skill and hook development.
When NOT To Use
- Authoring a skill end to end (use
abstract:skill-authoring)
- Cross-plugin contracts, which belong in leyline rather than here
Purpose
This skill provides shared patterns that are referenced by other skills in the abstract plugin. It follows DRY principles by centralizing common patterns.
