The system prompt now supports loading Agent Skills metadata via a new `skills` template function. This allows users to organize domain-specific instructions into reusable, shareable skill modules that follow the Agent Skills specification (agentskills.io). Skills are discovered by scanning directories for folders containing SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter. The function outputs XML-formatted metadata including skill name, description, and path for agent awareness. Closes #124
…nd improvements The example system prompt now includes a Skills section demonstrating the new `skills` template function for loading Agent Skills metadata. This enables users to extend the agent's capabilities with reusable, modular skill packages. Additional updates align the example prompt with current best practices: clearer code mode description, guidance on understanding external libraries, improved AGENTS.md discovery via `find`, and consolidated reminders section.

This PR adds support for the Agent Skills specification to CPE's system prompt templating.
What's New
A new
skillstemplate function that scans directories for skill folders and injects their metadata into the system prompt. Skills are reusable modules of instructions, scripts, and resources that extend the agent's capabilities for specialized tasks.Example usage in a system prompt template:
This renders XML-formatted skill metadata that makes the agent aware of available skills:
Why
Skills provide a standardized way to package domain-specific knowledge into self-contained, shareable modules. Unlike AGENTS.md files which are project-specific, skills can be reused across projects and shared with others. The agent loads full skill instructions on-demand only when relevant, reducing context usage.
Closes #124
