README, CONTRIBUTING, and docs/ covered MCP servers exclusively, with no mention of agent skills despite 150+ of them already vendored under skills/. Add docs/adding-skills.md, cross-link it from README/index/ CONTRIBUTING, and extend docs/security.md with the skill-scanner equivalent of the existing MCP scanning section. Also add a root AGENTS.md (there was none), and a package-skill skill mirroring package-mcp-server, so future skill-packaging work in this repo has the same guided workflow MCP servers already have. It lives under .claude/skills/ but is also reachable agent-agnostically via a .agents/skills symlink, since these skills aren't Claude Code-specific.

Addsdocs/adding-skills.mdand cross-links it from README,docs/index.md, andCONTRIBUTING.md; extendsdocs/security.mdwith the skill-scanner equivalent of the existing MCP scanning section.AGENTS.md(there was none).package-skillskill under.claude/skills/mirroringpackage-mcp-server, grounded in the actual workflow used to package the 20 HashiCorp skills earlier in this branch's history (naming/collision guidance, spec.yaml authoring, scan/allowlist triage, versioning policy). Also reachable agent-agnostically via a.agents/skillssymlink, since these skills aren't Claude Code-specific.package-skillthroughskill-creatorfor validation and description-triggering optimization. Structure passed validation as-is; the automated description-optimization loop found no description that clearly beat the original on held-out queries (a known limitation of the eval harness for a repo-scoped skill whose triggering depends onskills//spec.yamlcontext it doesn't have), so only a small negative-trigger clause was added to reduce confusion withpackage-mcp-server.Test plan
