From the source SKILL.md

This skill activates when a practitioner needs to add custom Apex logic that participates in NPSP's Trigger-Driven Trigger Management (TDTM) pipeline — the built-in trigger framework used by the Nonprofit Success Pack managed package. It covers the complete lifecycle: authoring a handler class, returning results via DmlWrapper instead of issuing direct DML, registering the handler via Trigger_Handler__c records, controlling execution order, guarding against recursion with static state, and isolating tests from the packaged handler chain.

What this skill does
