Rationale
The current
## Input schemasection inskills/apify-actor-development/SKILL.mdlinks toreferences/input-schema.mdbut does not surface a common pitfall in SKILL.md itself: when an input schema file is created,.actor/actor.jsonmust reference it explicitly via theinputSchemafield. Relying on the historical auto-discovery of.actor/INPUT_SCHEMA.jsonor rootINPUT_SCHEMA.jsonis deprecated per the input-schema specification and may be removed in a future platform release. Some tutorials and templates still show file creation without the linkage — that omission is the gap, not the recommended pattern.This adds a short paragraph so agents following SKILL.md wire the schema up correctly the first time, instead of producing Actors that appear to configure input but fall through to a deprecated fallback.
