Can I use it for different server types?

Yes, the skill can adapt its logic for Live, Test, and EMU (Emulated) environments if the installation name is provided.

Does it require specific directory access?

To write scripts directly to your MacroQuest folders, you must start Claude Code with the --add-dir flag pointing to your LUA_DIR or MACROS_DIR.

Does this skill support the legacy macro language?

Yes, while the expert prefers Lua for new code, it is fully capable of creating, editing, and debugging legacy .mac files.

How does it handle MacroQuest plugins?

The skill follows a non-negotiable best practice of checking if required plugins are loaded at the start of every script using mq.TLO.Plugin logic.
