Best practices
Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.
- Prefer read-only documentation lookups before running unfamiliar shell commands.
- Cross-check destructive commands with full manual pages when risk is high.
- Keep tldr client/pages updated to reduce stale guidance and deprecated flag usage.
