TOON is a specialized machine-readable format designed for passing structured data between Claude subagents efficiently without the overhead of natural language prose.

When should I use the Box report pattern?

The Box report is best reserved for complex validation results, multi-section summaries, or detailed error reports that require strong visual boundaries.

What is the '5-second rule' for this skill?

The core principle is that any human-readable output generated by the skill should be scannable and understandable by a user in under 5 seconds.

Does this skill support emojis in terminal output?
