Defame1297 2eb13f702e feat(lint): expand Vale audit prefilter into a broader plugin-content harness

Deferred item from PR #85 review. Per ADR-0013: cherry-picks two low-noise
rules from trialing write-good/alex against the real corpus (VagueQualifier,
SentenceOpenerThereIs) into styles/Kyberforge rather than adopting either
package wholesale (both are tuned for blog prose and were noisy on this
repo's terse, imperative instruction files - see the ADR's rejected-rule
list). Adds a new skill-size-check pre-commit hook enforcing agentskills.io's
500-line/5,000-token SKILL.md ceiling, currently unenforced. Fixes the 28
resulting violations across 20 existing SKILL.md/agent files so the
enforcing pre-commit hook lands clean.

governance.md/CONTROLS.md were evaluated and excluded as rule sources -
they're org/CI-infrastructure controls, not prose patterns Vale can express.

README.md

skill-author

Author and refine skills conforming to the agentskills.io specification — create new skills from scratch or apply improvement signals to existing ones.

What it does

Routes to one of two flows based on context: if no skill directory exists at the target path, it scaffolds the directory from annotated templates, fills in SKILL.md and supporting files, and validates the result. If an existing skill directory and improvement signals are both present, it groups those signals by root cause and applies targeted edits, then re-validates. In both flows, bumps the skill's metadata.version when present (minor for create, patch for improve).

Before you start

Run /grill-me to resolve design decisions before creating a new skill
Collect domain research, examples, and constraints
Know the skill name (kebab-case) and destination path

Placement

Type	Path
Direct (available immediately after install)	`~/.agents/skills/<name>/`
Plugin (installed via marketplace)	`plugins/<plugin>/skills/<name>/`

If the destination is inside a plugin directory, read references/deployment-modes.md — cache isolation rules apply.

Usage

/skill-author
