## What it does

The skill handles queries about home and lock screen widget development. It returns answers in a set format: a concise summary first, followed by relevant doc paths.

Documentation is split across three files: `widgetkit-overview.md` covers framework basics, `widgetkit-timelineentry.md` explains the timeline entry protocol, and `widgetkit-timelineprovider.md` handles data feeding. It runs in a forked context.

Because the reference covers only overview, timeline entries, and timeline providers, queries outside these three files will not be found locally.

## When to use it
- implement TimelineEntry protocol for periodic widget updates
