+# Merge Batch E2E Test
+
+## Overview
+
+This temporary skill exists only to test the maintainer merge workflow against a deliberately broken pull request.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Use when you need an intentionally broken skill PR to verify maintainer merge automation.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Confirm the maintainer workflow detects broken metadata and CI failures.
+2. Repair the skill and let the PR proceed to merge.
