Recentre the skill on keeping a warm Julia session and verifying each edit with Revise and TestItemRunner, replacing the earlier end-of-run testing and Documenter/Pluto-heavy guidance. Correct the Revise section: struct edits reload on Julia 1.12+ with Revise 3.16+ and revise_structs, with the caveat that pre-existing objects keep the old type. Add the TestItemRunner filter ladder and a hot-versus-cold policy. Trim docstring guidance to the parts that still bite. Co-authored-by: Sam Abbott <contact@samabbott.co.uk>

Nested backticks break this inline code span. See also: [other](@ref) parses as two separate code spans (See also: [ and ](@ref)) with other rendered as plain text, so the cross-reference syntax renders garbled. Wrap the whole example in double backticks to hold the inner backticks literally: See also: other .
Wrap the "See also" example in double backticks so the nested `[`other`](@ref)` renders instead of splitting into two spans. Soften the dependency note: a live session can Pkg.add then using, with a restart only needed when the new package changes loaded code. Co-authored-by: Sam Abbott <contact@samabbott.co.uk>
