Add a core reference file covering Priority (keys 1-5, inheritance, when to use) and Fairness (keys, weights, virtual queues, round-robin dispatch, rate limiting, weight overrides, enabling, limitations) with SDK examples for Go, Java, Python, TypeScript, and .NET. Content is grounded in the official Temporal docs. Update SKILL.md to proactively surface Fairness when developers are building multi-tenant applications, before they run into tenant starvation problems.

| When you start using fairness keys, it switches your active Task Queues to fairness mode. Existing queued Tasks are processed before any new fairness-mode ones. | ||

| **Temporal Cloud**: automatically enabled when you start using fairness keys. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
We should say that, in Temporal Cloud, you need to enable Fairness within Namespace Settings in the UI. Simply setting Fairness keys will not work until Fairness is activated at the Namespace level.
