This is pretty stock I added rclksel as a placeholder, but the whole thing feels like it's been done unintuitive to how I understand placeholders
TL:DR version the actual placement explains how I thought it could work
but I get literal "effect_active [SLOT]" as my command
Why isn't this how it's done

Edit, oh it's missing a *, it can work like I thought.

Well that leads me to another question.
I see bits of default pro that could have leaned into placeholders a lot more and it would save a lot
like
knob_modern_small & knoboff_modern_small, for FX are always placed as a pair so I wrote a parent class to call the two with all the actions defined
Then calling is a single line
<panel class="knob_modern_small_fx" x="+132" y="-3" slot="1" dial="1"/>
Is there any performance difference? or maybe it was wrote as it is now for a reason not performance related; easier to write with macros, regex , or maybe just written so working out a skin isn't a class in a class in a class confusion for users like me.
