What is the main purpose of the fvtt-active-effects skill?

It helps developers correctly implement and manage Active Effects in Foundry VTT, covering everything from basic attribute modifiers to complex custom logic hooks.

Why should I use this instead of standard JavaScript coding?

This skill understands the specific Foundry VTT lifecycle, such as the prepareData execution order, preventing common errors like targeting derived values instead of base data.

Does this support both Legacy and Modern effect transferral?

Yes, it provides guidance and code patterns for both legacy copy-on-embed behavior and the modern CONFIG.ActiveEffect.legacyTransferral = false approach.

Can this skill help with complex combat-based durations?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for tracking durations across world time, combat rounds, and specific turns to ensure buffs expire exactly when intended.
