**Skills as Slash Commands**: Skills are now exposed as slash commands, so you can invoke skill workflows directly from command-style input.

  • **Skill Fallback Execution**: When a slash command does not match a command file but matches a skill slug, the CLI can resolve and execute that skill path.
  • **Slash Command Resolution Priority**: Command precedence is preserved, with skill fallback only used when no matching slash command is found.
  • Added and updated tests for slash command + skill fallback behavior, including command precedence and duplicate skill-slug handling.
