"""Skill loading — Anthropic SKILL.md format with progressive disclosure.
A skill is a folder containing `SKILL.md` (YAML frontmatter: name, description,
optional allowed-tools) + a markdown body of instructions + optional resources/scripts.
Progressive disclosure: at session start only the catalog (name + description) is injected
into the agent's context; the full body is loaded on demand via the `load_skill` tool.
