/**
* Skill element class implementing IElement interface.
* Represents a discrete capability for specific tasks.
*
* SECURITY FIXES IMPLEMENTED (PR #319):
* 1. CRITICAL: Added comprehensive input validation for all skill parameters
* 2. MEDIUM: Implemented Unicode normalization to prevent homograph attacks
* 3. MEDIUM: Added audit logging for security events via SecurityMonitor
* 4. MEDIUM: Implemented memory management to prevent unbounded growth
* 5. MEDIUM: Added XSS protection through input sanitization
