agr as a replacement for npx skills

[gwpl]

I tried to replace

npx -y skills add remorses/playwriter

with

agr add remorses/playwriter

probably I missed something, but still a point is kind feature request that it would be great with agr could be (almost) drop in replacement for npx -y skills.

Thanks for the feedback @gwpl!

agr uses a different handle format than npx skills. Where npx skills add owner/repo scans the entire repo for skills, agr handles always point at a specific skill:

owner/skill-name         → Skill from user's default "skills" repo
owner/repo/skill-name    → Skill from a specific repo

So for remorses/playwriter, you'd use:

agr add remorses/playwriter/<skill-name>

We've now added a helpful error message for this case — if you run agr add remorses/playwriter and the skill isn't found, agr will probe the repository and suggest the correct three-part handles with the available skills listed. We also added a "Coming from npx skills?" section to the README.

These changes will ship in the next release.
