When adding a new SKILL to the repository or provisioning companion scripts.

Inputs

description (string, optional) — short description to populate SKILL.md
create_script (bool, default: true) — whether to create a companion scripts/skills/.sh

Outputs

Collection steps

Create .github/skills//SKILL.md if not present.
