Example Argument Substitution

jamie-bitflight/example-argument-substitution

Test harness for Claude Code skill argument substitution — demonstrates capture-block pre-declaration, XML tag referencing, unintentional variable corruption in code blocks, and correct placement of shell examples in reference files. Use when verifying substitution behavior before applying a pattern to other skills, testing how arguments flow from skill invocations, or understanding the pre-declaration and reference file pattern with greet/farewell/inspect actions.
