Documentation

README

Excerpt

CLI Logging UX expert persona

# Fails — not actionable, user can't do anything
Sub-skill 'my-skill' from 'my-package' overwrites existing skill

# Passes — tells the user exactly what to do
Skipping my-skill — local file exists (not managed by APM). Use 'apm install --force' to overwrite.

If the user can't act on it, it's not a warning — it's noise. Demote to --verbose or remove.
