Skills now migrate from hand-authored plugin.json to Microsoft APM
(apm.yml + .apm/) per ADR-0015/issue #89. skill-author's write location
switches accordingly: walk up from the destination to the nearest
ancestor apm.yml declaring a type: field (skipping type:-less
marketplace-only manifests) and scaffold into <package-root>/.apm/skills/
<name>/. Standalone authoring (no apm.yml/.git anywhere, e.g.
~/.agents/skills/) is unchanged — only the old plugin.json-based path is
replaced, not standalone mode.
Refs: #89
- references/sources.md: add YAML frontmatter with source_keys to fix provenance chain break
- SKILL.md description: make create/improve duality explicit ("Handles both the full create flow ... and the improve flow ...")
- SKILL.md Step 2: add inline metadata.source_keys instruction — fill early, not deferred to Step 5
- SKILL.md Step 6 (create) / Step 5 (improve): add pre-audit manual checklists and version bump conventions (minor for create, patch for improve)
- README.md: correct false claim that the skill bumps plugin manifests; it bumps metadata.version only

Add Research doc: pointer to all 7 agentskillsio entries so the new
validate-provenance.sh upstream checks resolve correctly for this skill.

- script: new-skill.sh now exits 0 when target already exists (idempotent
retry-safe) instead of exit 1; --help updated to reflect narrowed error cases
- test: updated bats test to assert success and "nothing to do" output
- body: removed speculative "Extract the skill from a real task" advice
(human-targeted, not agent-actionable)
- formatting: converted H4 headings in Step 2 to bold text (H2/H3 two-tier model)
- provenance: removed orphan agentskills-llms-txt entry from references/sources.md;
added discovery-only comment

Records the upstream agentskills.io sources that informed skill-author,
completing the research → docs → skill provenance chain introduced in
the previous commit.
- New references/sources.md with all 7 extracted agentskillsio sources,
Contributing files attributed per-source to SKILL.md, references/deployment-modes.md,
and references/scripts.md
- source_keys frontmatter added to SKILL.md (all 7 slugs), references/deployment-modes.md
(agentskills-spec), and references/scripts.md (agentskills-using-scripts)

Body discipline: collapsed 4-bullet script rules to single critical callout
(no interactive prompts); full contract stays in references/scripts.md.
stderr discipline: redirect all confirmation/progress output in new-skill.sh
to stderr per scripts.md contract. Also expands references/scripts.md with
input validation and --help guidance.

Closes#5. Single authoring skill replaces the factory trio — one set of
standards, one script, one place for future governance rules. Routes to
create or improve flow based on context. Passes skill-audit with no findings.
