Can you define "light-skeleton-based" before using the term.

This is the first time in my life when I hear about it.

I have no idea what that command does.

"Signature data can be generated for the binary data as follows:

bpftool gen -L

<explanation>"

Here you'd need to answer to couple of unknowns:

1. What is in exact terms "signature data"?
2. What does "bpftool gen -L" do?

This feedback maps to other examples too in the cover letter.
