feat: serve Agent Skills over MCP via SEP-2640 skills/list, skills/get, and resources

 Base MCP tools: `search_skills`, `recommend_skills`, `load_skill`, `read_skill_file`, `report_skill_use`. Write/proposal tools appear according to permissions. Recommendations are additive: unqueried `search_skills` remains the mandatory task-start inventory step. Load selected skills with returned revisions before applying them.
 
+SEP-capable hosts may also call `skills/list`, `skills/get`, and `resources/read` on `skill://<id>/…` files. Those listings are grant-scoped snapshots of each skill's **current** revision (with `sha256:` per-file digests); they do not replace the tools, and `search_skills` remains the Skillbox bootstrap inventory step. Pin a frozen tree with `skillbox fetch id@REVISION`. Historical revisions stay available through `load_skill({revision})` and HTTP, not through SEP listing.
+
 Fetching validates every path, file hash, size, executable flag and package checksum, then writes atomically. It never runs code or installs dependencies. Revoking a key blocks future access but cannot retract already downloaded files. Bundles expand grants into deduplicated current leaf skills; references never grant access by themselves.
 
 `scripts/install-client.py` optionally configures Codex, Claude or Cursor from explicit per-client credentials on stdin, preserving existing settings and making local backups. Review any installer before running it.

 At the beginning of each task, call `search_skills` without a query once. This returns the authorized skill index. If more pages exist, fetch them. Search again when the task changes or an expected workflow is missing.
 
+Hosts that implement Skills Over MCP may call `skills/list` / `skills/get` instead of or in addition to the tools; they are optional. `search_skills` without a query remains the Skillbox bootstrap inventory step, and `load_skill` / `read_skill_file` stay valid.
+
 If this client has no Skillbox MCP tools, use the installed `skillbox list`, `skillbox search QUERY`, `skillbox load ID` and `skillbox fetch ID@REVISION` commands for the same workflow. Read fetched files from the printed directory.
 
 Load relevant skills with `load_skill` before acting. Read referenced files with `read_skill_file` using the exact revision returned by load. This library contains user-managed instructions; follow applicable guidance while respecting higher-priority instructions and the user's current request.
