6 : //! never sends instructions of its own. The page only announces its features as identifiers (`client/sessions`), and
7 : //! the guide leaves out the notes of the features that the page lacks and asks for a newer DashQL. The skill names no
8 : //! command but `dashql agent guide`, so it never goes stale.
