Can I use this to check for errors in my mod?

Absolutely. The skill provides quick reference commands to tail or read the FS25 log.txt file, helping you identify XML syntax errors or missing assets instantly.

How does this skill handle different operating systems?

The skill automatically detects if you are on Windows or macOS and applies the correct file paths and commands for the FS25 mods folder and system-specific utilities like mklink or ln.

Does it prevent the common 'nested folder' zip error?

Yes, the skill is programmed to package only the contents of the mod directory into the root of the ZIP file, ensuring the game can correctly identify the modDesc.xml.

Why is symlinking better than copying files for development?

Symlinking creates a virtual link to your source code in the game folder, allowing you to edit files in your IDE and see changes immediately in-game without tedious manual file transfers.
