Conversation
get_skill already returns the SKILL.md text, but every instruction led with runCommand, which a chat app cannot run. The tool description, the MCP section of /agent.md, and the skilld-registry Skill now say how to use a Skill without a shell: follow the markdown field for the session.

📚 Description
ChatGPT, Claude, and other MCP apps can find a Skill through the MCP server, and
get_skillalready returns its SKILL.md text inmarkdown. Every instruction still led withrunCommand, which a chat app cannot run, so an agent there had no stated way to use the Skill.The
get_skilldescription, the MCP section of/agent.md, and theskilld-registrySkill now say the same thing. Without a shell, the agent followsmarkdownfor the session, after it names the Skill and its source repository. The files beside SKILL.md are listed infiles, not included.The CLI stays the lead path. A chat-app run gets SKILL.md only, with no supporting files and no approval stop for Skill behaviors.
