Custom skills for Codex.
This option can either be:
- An attribute set defining skills
- A path to a directory containing multiple skill folders
If an attribute set is used, the attribute name becomes the skill directory name,
and the value is either:
- Inline content as a string (creates {file}`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`)
- A path to a file (creates {file}`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`)
- A path to a directory (creates {file}`skills/<name>/` with all files)
If a path is used, it is expected to contain one folder per skill name, each
containing a {file}`SKILL.md`. The directory is symlinked to {file}`skills/`.
