Protheus Reference

This skill is a quick-lookup reference guide for the TOTVS Protheus ecosystem: native function syntax/parameters/return values across categories (String, Date/Time, Array, Database, Interface, Network, JsonObject, ExecAuto, etc.), the SX data dictionary (SX1 Perguntas through SXB/SIX), REST API patterns (FWRest annotations vs. legacy WsRestFul), and MV_* system parameters.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
