feat(skill): align skill system with Claude Code's Tool Call design

Browse Source 
- Replace text marker activation with `activate` tool (Tool Call mechanism)
- Replace 7 authoring tools with 2: `activate` + `register_skill`
- Add builtin skills loading from templates/skills/
- Add create-skill as first builtin skill
- Remove SKILL_ACTIVATION_MARKER and text detection methods
- Tool Result returns SKILL.md content (protects KV Cache)

This aligns with Claude Code's progressive disclosure pattern:
- Metadata (name+description) always visible in tool description
- SKILL.md body loaded on activate via Tool Call
- Bundled resources accessible through virtual path mapping

<skills_instructions>
When users ask you to perform tasks, check if any of the available skills
below can help complete the task more effectively. Skills provide specialized
capabilities and domain knowledge.
How to use skills:
- Invoke skills using this tool with the skill name only (no arguments)
- When you invoke a skill, you will see <command-message>
The skill is activated
</command-message>
- The skill's instructions will be provided in the tool result
- Examples:
- skill_name: "pdf" - invoke the pdf skill
- skill_name: "create-skill" - invoke the create-skill skill for creating new skills
Important:
- Only use skills listed in <available_skills> below
- Do not invoke a skill that is already running
- To create a new skill: prepare it in /workspace, then use register_skill tool
</skills_instructions>

After activation, the selected skills' detailed instructions will be loaded for you to follow.

If you need to inspect a visible skill before activation, use `read` on `/workspace/.skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` or other files under that path.
For prompt-only skills or skills that mainly consist of instructions, use `create_skill` to create them directly in the managed skills store.
Use `list_skills` or `get_skill` before editing when you need to inspect what already exists.
Use `update_skill` to modify an existing managed skill's metadata or instructions without relying on `/workspace`, box, or skill activation.
Use `delete_skill` when the user explicitly wants to remove a managed skill.
Pure prompt skills should not depend on box just to be created or modified later.
When creating a new skill package with extra files, scripts, or assets, first prepare it under `/workspace` with the standard `exec`, `read`, `write`, and `edit` tools.
Then use `import_skill_from_directory` to import that prepared directory into the managed skills store.
Use `reload_skills` when you need LangBot to rescan managed skills after filesystem changes.

name: create-skill
description: Create new skills for LangBot. Use when users want to create, modify, or register a skill. Helps draft SKILL.md with proper frontmatter and register skills from sandbox directories.
---
# Create Skill
A skill for creating new LangBot skills.
## Skill Structure
A skill is a directory containing, at minimum, a `SKILL.md` file:
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Required: metadata + instructions
├── scripts/ # Optional: helper scripts
├── references/ # Optional: documentation
├── assets/ # Optional: templates, resources
```
## SKILL.md Format
SKILL.md must contain YAML frontmatter followed by Markdown content:
```markdown
---
name: skill-name
display_name: Skill Display Name
description: What this skill does and when to use it.
---
# Skill Title
Instructions for how to use this skill...
## Examples
- Example 1
- Example 2
```
### Frontmatter Fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | Yes | Skill identifier. 1-64 chars, lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only. Must not start or end with hyphen. |
| `display_name` | No | Human-readable name shown in UI. |
| `description` | Yes | What the skill does and when to use it. Max 1024 chars. Include keywords for triggering. |
| `license` | No | License name or reference. |
| `metadata` | No | Additional key-value metadata. |
### Body Content
The Markdown body contains skill instructions. Recommended sections:
- Step-by-step instructions
- Examples
- Common edge cases
- Guidelines
Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines. Move detailed content to `references/` directory.
## Creating a Skill
1. **Understand requirements**: Ask what the skill should do
2. **Draft SKILL.md**: Create frontmatter + instructions
3. **Create in sandbox**: Write files to `/workspace/{skill-name}/`
4. **Register**: Use `register_skill` tool to register to LangBot store
### Name Rules
- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only
- Cannot start or end with hyphen
- No consecutive hyphens (`--`)
- 1-64 characters
Valid: `pdf-processing`, `data-analysis`, `code-review`
Invalid: `PDF-Processing`, `-pdf`, `pdf--processing`
### Description Tips
Good description describes both what and when:
```yaml
description: Extracts text from PDF files. Use when working with PDF documents or when user mentions PDFs.
```
Poor description:
```yaml
description: Helps with PDFs.
```
## Workflow Example
1. User: "Create a skill for generating reports"
2. Ask clarifying questions about report format, templates, etc.
3. Create `/workspace/report-generator/SKILL.md`
4. Optionally create helper scripts in `/workspace/report-generator/scripts/`
5. Call `register_skill(path="/workspace/report-generator", name="report-generator")`
6. Skill is now available via `activate(skill_name="report-generator")`
## After Registration
The skill package is copied to `data/skills/` and loaded by LangBot.
User can activate it immediately with the `activate` tool.
