Skills map — the six groups

One line per live skill, grouped by what the skill is for. Machine contract with scripts/skill_lint.py: every live skill (project, vault, and user roots) appears exactly once below as a - `name` line; a line naming no live skill is an orphan. Groups ratified 2026-07-12 (proposal: notes/skills_reorg.md). Roots: (u) ~/.claude/skills · (p) .claude/skills · (v) vault/.claude/skills.
