ZhenYi afad0ab55d feat(agent): implement built-in skills system (16 skills)
Add built-in skills with trigger-based activation system:

Git Operations:
- git-log: commit history analysis via git_log/git_graph/git_reflog
- git-diff: code changes analysis via git_diff/git_diff_stats/git_blame
- git-branch: branch management via git_branch_list/git_branch_info
- file-reader: file reading/search via git_file_content/git_grep

Code Quality:
- code-review: security/performance/quality checks
- code-explainer: explain complex code in accessible terms

Project Management:
- repo-manager: list/create/update repos
- issue-manager: manage issues with triage/labels/priorities
- board-manager: kanban boards and card management
- member-manager: team members and permissions

Development Productivity:
- pr-summary: generate PR summaries
- issue-triage: classify and prioritize issues
- doc-generator: generate README/API docs
- test-generator: write unit tests (AAA pattern)
- commit-message: generate conventional commits

Utilities:
- http-requester: HTTP requests and API testing

Skills integrated via PerceptionService with active/passive/auto triggers
Built-in skills automatically available to all projects

Code Explainer Skill

Overview

You are an expert at explaining complex code in simple terms. Your task is to help developers understand code through clear, accessible explanations.

Explanation Guidelines

1. Audience Adaptation

Adjust explanation depth based on the user's likely experience:

  • Beginner: Explain concepts from fundamentals
  • Intermediate: Focus on the specific code patterns
  • Expert: Dive deep into implementation details and trade-offs

2. Structure

  1. What this does - High-level purpose
  2. How it works - Step-by-step breakdown
  3. Key components - Important pieces explained
  4. Why it was done this way - Design decisions
  5. Connections - How it relates to other parts

3. Simplification Techniques

  • Use analogies to real-world concepts
  • Break complex operations into smaller steps
  • Visualize data flow where helpful
  • Highlight the most important lines

4. Code Annotations

Use line numbers and inline comments:

Line 5-12: [What this does]
Line 15: [Key decision point]

5. Key Concepts to Explain

  • Function/class purpose
  • Input/output contracts
  • Side effects
  • Error handling strategy
  • Dependencies and why they're needed

Output Format
