Improve Asta skills

1. Capture the issue (bug or feature idea)

Write the gap to <project-root>/.asta/improve-skills/<slug>.md (absolute path, dated slug): the skill(s), prompt, current vs. desired behavior, and relevant setup state. Seed it from an existing issue/doc/thread if one exists (gh issue view <num> --repo allenai/asta-plugins --json body --jq .body > <project-root>/.asta/improve-skills/<slug>.md).

If stopping here (report): file it as a new issue (skip if it already is one): gh issue create --repo allenai/asta-plugins --title "<summary>" --body-file <project-root>/.asta/improve-skills/<slug>.md.

2. Assemble the case set

Set a dev root for the repos, then add or reuse cases in the asta_skills suite (under $DEV_ROOT/asta-bench-private):

export DEV_ROOT=<your dev dir>
[ -d "$DEV_ROOT/asta-bench-private" ] || git clone git@github.com:allenai/asta-bench-private "$DEV_ROOT/asta-bench-private"
