graceful-degradation

Quick Review

This skill provides a solid pattern for graceful service degradation with helpful user messages. The description is somewhat vague ('graceful degradation with helpful messages'), but the SKILL.md compensates with clear DO/DON'T guidelines, concrete TypeScript examples showing caching and health checks, and a reusable message template. The structure is clean and easy to follow. However, novelty is limited—this is a well-established best practice that a competent CLI agent could implement with modest guidance. The skill is most valuable for enforcing consistency and providing a ready-made template, but doesn't solve a particularly complex or token-intensive problem. The 'user-invocable: false' flag suggests it's meant as internal guidance rather than a callable service, which aligns with its educational/pattern nature.
