Defame1297 bbb0dcd21a fix(lint): flatten multi-line frontmatter descriptions before Vale runs

Vale's text.frontmatter.description scope silently stops matching once
the description is a YAML block scalar spanning 2+ physical lines —
the style used by most skills/agents in this repo. scripts/vale-wrap.sh
flattens the description to one line in a scratch copy (preserving the
repo-relative path and total line count) before invoking real vale, and
both audit skills plus the pre-commit hook now call it instead of vale
directly. Also tightens the pre-commit hook's file glob to single path
segments so it can't cross into docs/research examples or asset
templates the way the audit skills' scoped invocations already avoid.

Addresses PR #85 review feedback.

skill-audit

Audit a skill directory against the agentskills.io specification. Runs structural validation then a qualitative review across description quality, body discipline, patterns, formatting, file structure, scripts, and internal consistency, plus a provenance chain check.

What it does

Runs scripts/validate.sh and scripts/validate-provenance.sh for structural and provenance checks
Reads all files in the skill directory
Applies qualitative checks across seven dimensions
Outputs a compact findings report — findings only, grouped by dimension, each with Why and Fix — and a result block with handoff to /skill-improve

Usage

/skill-audit

Provide the path to the skill directory to audit when invoking.
