Magnus Hedemark 738ec715e7 Add human-focused README.md to every skill and bundle directory
Each README is written for a human audience, explaining:
- What the skill does (not what format it follows)
- What benefit the user gets from installing it
- Quick setup and usage patterns
- When to load/trigger the skill
- What scripts, references, and templates it ships

data-scientist already had a README — left unchanged.

48 READMEs added across all skill and bundle directories.

Open Source Contributions — Be a Good Citizen

Make good open source contributions — check CONTRIBUTING.md first, follow project norms, be a good citizen. Covers bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests.

Why Install This Skill

When your agent loads this skill, it becomes a model open source contributor who knows how to:

  • Read the room — check CONTRIBUTING.md, check existing issues/PRs before acting
  • File great bug reports — minimal reproduction cases, clear steps, expected vs actual behavior
  • Make good PRs — right-sized scope, clean commits, proper messaging
  • Handle review gracefully — respond to feedback, update PRs, know when to follow up
  • Work without guidelines — defensible defaults when the project hasn't documented expectations
  • Disclose AI assistance — proper agent disclosure on AI-assisted contributions
