From workbench-core
Install workbench-* plugin skills into Claude Chat (Mac app) via .skill packaging. Discovers all eligible skills in installed @claude-workbench plugins (excluding workbench-core itself), packages them with skill-creator's package_skill.py, and opens each .skill file with the Mac app to trigger the install dialog. Use this skill whenever the SessionStart warmup output mentions new Chat-installable skills, or to manually re-sync Chat skills after installing or updating a workbench plugin.
