• uses - Functional dependency (e.g., "DEX uses post-conditions")
• implements - Standard compliance (e.g., "token implements SIP-010")
• javascript-for - Language bridge (e.g., "SDK implements Clarity function")
• prevents - Security defense (e.g., "access control prevents unauthorized access")
• similar-to - Alternative approach
• conflicts - Incompatibility
