Quick brief
Use markdown-link-check when an agent needs a pre-publish validation pass over Markdown files instead of treating link health as a generic docs platform concern. The action is specific: scan Markdown, resolve links, and report which references are alive, dead, or need exceptions. That boundary, link verification for Markdown assets before release or publication, is narrow enough to be a real skill rather than a plain package listing.
