Create Skill

When the user asks to create a new skill, follow this convention.

Skill kinds

There are three kinds of skills. Determine which one applies before creating anything:

Kind Location Purpose
Global ~/.agents/skills/<name>/ Personal skills usable across all projects; linked into agent dirs
Repo internal <repo-root>/.agents/skills/<name>/ Dev-workflow skills for contributors to this repo only (e.g. release helpers, SDK updaters)
Repo public <repo-root>/skills/<name>/ Skills shipped with the package; users install via npx skills add <owner>/<repo>

Ask or infer from context which kind the user wants. The kind determines placement and whether linking is needed.

Steps
