⚠️ BAD EXAMPLE - Interdependent Skill (Anti-Pattern)

WARNING: This is an ANTI-PATTERN example showing what NOT to do.

DO NOT COPY THIS STRUCTURE. See good-self-contained-skill for correct approach.

❌ VIOLATION #1: Relative Path Dependencies

## Related Documentation

For setup instructions, see [../setup-skill/SKILL.md](../setup-skill/SKILL.md)

For testing patterns, see:
- [../../testing/pytest-patterns/](../../testing/pytest-patterns/)
- [../../testing/test-utils/](../../testing/test-utils/)

Database integration: [../../data/database-skill/](../../data/database-skill/)

Why This is Wrong:

• ❌ Uses relative paths (../, ../../)
• ❌ Assumes hierarchical directory structure
• ❌ Breaks in flat deployment (~/.claude/skills/)
• ❌ Links break when skill deployed standalone

Correct Approach:

## Complementary Skills

Consider these related skills (if deployed):

- **setup-skill**: Installation and configuration patterns
- **pytest-patterns**: Testing framework and fixtures
- **database-skill**: Database integration patterns

*Note: All skills are independently deployable.*

❌ VIOLATION #2: Missing Essential Content

## Testing

This skill uses pytest for testing.

**See pytest-patterns skill for all testing code.**

To write tests for this framework, install pytest-patterns skill
and refer to its documentation.

Why This is Wrong:

• ❌ No actual testing patterns included
• ❌ Requires user to have another skill
• ❌ Skill is incomplete without other skills
• ❌ "See other skill" instead of inlining

Correct Approach:

## Testing (Self-Contained)

**Essential pytest pattern** (inlined):

```python
import pytest
from example_framework.testing import TestClient

@pytest.fixture
def client():
    """Test client fixture."""
    return TestClient(app)

def test_home_route(client):
    """Test homepage."""
    response = client.get("/")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json() == {"message": "Hello"}

Advanced fixtures (if pytest-patterns skill deployed):

• Parametrized fixtures
• Database session fixtures
• Mock fixtures

See pytest-patterns skill for comprehensive patterns.
