 ### Foundations
 
-#### [`scheduler-basics`](@warlock.js/scheduler/scheduler-basics/SKILL.md)
+#### `scheduler-basics`
 Start here. The `job(name, fn)` factory, the `scheduler` singleton, the 2-primitive surface, UTC default, why the API is factory-first.
 
 ### Scheduling
 
-#### [`schedule-fluently`](@warlock.js/scheduler/schedule-fluently/SKILL.md)
+#### `schedule-fluently`
 Build schedules without writing cron: `.everyMinutes(N)`, `.daily().at("03:00")`, `.weekly().on("monday")`, `.monthly()`, `.beginOf("month")`, `.endOf("year")`, and friends. Reach for this 80% of the time.
 
-#### [`schedule-with-cron`](@warlock.js/scheduler/schedule-with-cron/SKILL.md)
+#### `schedule-with-cron`
 Drop down to `.cron("0 9 * * 1-5")` when the fluent API can't express it (Vixie OR semantics for DOM/DOW, complex multi-value lists). Includes `parseCron()` for previewing next-run times before deploy.
 
 ### Production concerns
 
-#### [`configure-retry-and-overlap`](@warlock.js/scheduler/configure-retry-and-overlap/SKILL.md)
+#### `configure-retry-and-overlap`
 `.retry(maxRetries, delay?, backoffMultiplier?)` for fixed or exponential backoff; `.preventOverlap()` so a slow run never collides with the next tick. Reach for both anytime a job calls external services.
 
-#### [`pin-schedule-timezone`](@warlock.js/scheduler/pin-schedule-timezone/SKILL.md)
+#### `pin-schedule-timezone`
 `.inTimezone("America/New_York")` pins wall-clock fire times across DST and across servers. The default is UTC — if your job description includes "9 AM," you almost certainly want this skill.
 
 ### Observability + shutdown
 
-#### [`observe-scheduler`](@warlock.js/scheduler/observe-scheduler/SKILL.md)
+#### `observe-scheduler`
 The seven typed `SchedulerEvents` (`job:start` / `complete` / `error` / `skip`, `scheduler:started` / `stopped` / `tick`), the `JobResult` payload, `start()` / `stop()` / `shutdown()`. Wire this for logging, metrics, alerting, and graceful SIGTERM handling.

-2. **Default timezone is UTC.** `daily().at("09:00")` fires at 09:00 UTC, regardless of the server's clock. Pin a job to wall-clock with `.inTimezone("America/New_York")`. See [`@warlock.js/scheduler/pin-schedule-timezone/SKILL.md`](@warlock.js/scheduler/pin-schedule-timezone/SKILL.md).

 ### Foundations
 
-#### [`scheduler-basics`](@warlock.js/scheduler/scheduler-basics/SKILL.md)
+#### `scheduler-basics`
 Start here. The `job(name, fn)` factory, the `scheduler` singleton, the 2-primitive surface, UTC default, why the API is factory-first.
 
 ### Scheduling
 
-#### [`schedule-fluently`](@warlock.js/scheduler/schedule-fluently/SKILL.md)
+#### `schedule-fluently`
 Build schedules without writing cron: `.everyMinutes(N)`, `.daily().at("03:00")`, `.weekly().on("monday")`, `.monthly()`, `.beginOf("month")`, `.endOf("year")`, and friends. Reach for this 80% of the time.
 
-#### [`schedule-with-cron`](@warlock.js/scheduler/schedule-with-cron/SKILL.md)
+#### `schedule-with-cron`
 Drop down to `.cron("0 9 * * 1-5")` when the fluent API can't express it (Vixie OR semantics for DOM/DOW, complex multi-value lists). Includes `parseCron()` for previewing next-run times before deploy.
 
 ### Production concerns
 
-#### [`configure-retry-and-overlap`](@warlock.js/scheduler/configure-retry-and-overlap/SKILL.md)
+#### `configure-retry-and-overlap`
 `.retry(maxRetries, delay?, backoffMultiplier?)` for fixed or exponential backoff; `.preventOverlap()` so a slow run never collides with the next tick. Reach for both anytime a job calls external services.
 
-#### [`pin-schedule-timezone`](@warlock.js/scheduler/pin-schedule-timezone/SKILL.md)
+#### `pin-schedule-timezone`
 `.inTimezone("America/New_York")` pins wall-clock fire times across DST and across servers. The default is UTC — if your job description includes "9 AM," you almost certainly want this skill.
 
 ### Observability + shutdown
 
-#### [`observe-scheduler`](@warlock.js/scheduler/observe-scheduler/SKILL.md)
+#### `observe-scheduler`
 The seven typed `SchedulerEvents` (`job:start` / `complete` / `error` / `skip`, `scheduler:started` / `stopped` / `tick`), the `JobResult` payload, `start()` / `stop()` / `shutdown()`. Wire this for logging, metrics, alerting, and graceful SIGTERM handling.

 1. **Factory-first.** `import { job, scheduler } from "@warlock.js/scheduler"`. Users do not call `new Job()` directly (it works, but `job()` is the documented surface).
-2. **Default timezone is UTC.** `daily().at("09:00")` fires at 09:00 UTC, regardless of the server's clock. Pin a job to wall-clock with `.inTimezone("America/New_York")`. See [`@warlock.js/scheduler/pin-schedule-timezone/SKILL.md`](@warlock.js/scheduler/pin-schedule-timezone/SKILL.md).

See [`@warlock.js/scheduler/configure-retry-and-overlap/SKILL.md`](@warlock.js/scheduler/configure-retry-and-overlap/SKILL.md).
-4. **Cron uses 5-field Vixie semantics.** When both `dayOfMonth` and `dayOfWeek` are restricted (neither is `*`), a date matches if EITHER constraint matches. Standard-cron compatible. See [`@warlock.js/scheduler/schedule-with-cron/SKILL.md`](@warlock.js/scheduler/schedule-with-cron/SKILL.md).

 7. **`Job.run()` returns a `JobResult`, never throws.** Errors funnel into `result.error`. The scheduler emits `job:error` after all retries are exhausted.
