[codex] Add skills CLI and catalog management (#6782)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.

## What Changed

- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.

## Verification

- Passed: `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/company-skill.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/src/entrypoints.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.

## Risks

- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)

# Issue Triage
Convert a noisy inbox into a small set of clear next actions. Each pass through this skill should leave every touched issue with a defined owner, status, and the single concrete action that will move it forward.
## When to use
- Daily or shift-start review of `in_progress`, `in_review`, and `blocked` assignments.
- An inbox has many open assignments and no clear priority.
- A manager wants a status read on their reports without asking each agent.
- You are woken by a comment that suggests an old issue stalled.
## When not to use
- You are checked out on one specific issue and the wake context names it. Work that issue, do not triage the whole inbox.
- An issue thread already has an open `request_confirmation` or `ask_user_questions`. Wait for the response — re-triage is noise.
## Inputs
- `GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite` for the compact assignment list.
- For each candidate issue, `GET /api/issues/{issueId}/heartbeat-context` for compact state including `blockerAttention`, `executionState`, ancestors, and `commentCursor`.
- Only fall back to the full thread when the heartbeat context is not enough.
## Per-issue triage decision
For each issue, classify into exactly one of:
1. **Resume** — execution path is alive. Confirm the assignee is set and let the heartbeat continue. Do not comment.
2. **Wake-needed** — assignee is stalled with no live continuation. Post one comment that names the blocker resolution or the exact next action, then leave `in_progress` or move to `todo` so the assignee picks it up.
3. **Reassign** — the assignee is not the right specialty. Reassign and set `in_review` only if the new assignee is human, otherwise leave `in_progress`.
4. **Unblock** — a first-class `blockedByIssueIds` entry is now `done` or `cancelled`. If `cancelled`, replace or remove it from `blockedByIssueIds`. The blockers-resolved wake will fire automatically when all are `done`.
5. **Escalate** — the issue needs board, CTO, or user input. Create a `request_confirmation`, `ask_user_questions`, or `request_board_approval` and set the issue to `in_review`.
6. **Close** — work is complete, duplicate, or no longer relevant. Set `done` or `cancelled` with a one-line reason.
If you cannot classify in under a minute of reading, escalate rather than guess.
## Stuck-state heuristics
- `in_progress` with no comments or document updates in the last 24h and no monitor or queued continuation → wake-needed.
- `in_review` with no reviewer participant, no pending interaction, no approval — invalid review path → reassign to a real reviewer or move to `todo`.
- `blocked` with no `blockedByIssueIds`, only free-text "blocked by X" → convert to first-class blockers or move to `todo` with a named action.
- `blocked` with all blockers `done` → unblock the issue by setting status back; the assignee will wake.
- Child issues all complete but parent still `in_progress` → confirm parent acceptance, then close.
## Don't-do list
- Do not @-mention agents during triage; mentions cost budget. Use direct reassignment instead.
- Do not re-comment on a `blocked` issue if your most recent comment was also a blocked update with no reply since.
- Do not cancel cross-team issues. Reassign to the responsible manager with a comment.
- Do not change status without a comment that explains the change.
## Output of a triage pass
A short comment chain or summary message that lists, per issue touched:
- Issue id and title.
- Verdict (resume / wake-needed / reassign / unblock / escalate / close).
- The one action you took or asked for.
This is the bar for "the triage is done."

description: Turn a Paperclip issue or request into a structured implementation plan with child task graph, blockers, owners, and acceptance criteria, then save it as the issue `plan` document.

# Task Planning
Produce implementation plans that the Paperclip executor can actually run: explicit child issues, real blockers, named owners, and a defined acceptance bar. Avoid plans that read well but cannot be split into work.
## When to use
- An issue asks you to "plan", "scope", "break down", "design the rollout", "propose the work", or similar.
- A user wants a written plan before approving implementation.
- A manager needs to delegate non-trivial work and the shape of the work is not obvious yet.
- You inherited an issue too large to deliver in one heartbeat and need to split it.
## When not to use
- The issue is a single small change you can ship in the same heartbeat. Just ship it.
- The issue is forensic ("why did this break"). Use a diagnosis skill first; plan only after the root cause is named.
- A current `plan` document already exists and the change is minor. Update that document; do not start fresh.
## Outputs
1. An updated issue document with key `plan` (markdown).
2. A short comment on the issue that links to the plan document and names the next action.
3. Where the plan requires approval, an issue-thread interaction of kind `request_confirmation` bound to the latest plan revision.
Do not create implementation subtasks until the plan is accepted.
## Plan structure
Required sections, in order:
1. **Goal** — one paragraph. What changes for the user, the operator, or the system once this work lands.
2. **Context reviewed** — bullet list of documents, files, and prior issues you read. Lets reviewers spot missing inputs.
3. **Constraints and non-goals** — what must hold (compatibility, security, performance) and what this plan deliberately will not do.
4. **Approach** — the chosen path, with a short rationale. If you considered alternatives, name them and why you rejected them.
5. **Work breakdown** — ordered list of child issues. Each child has:
- Title in imperative form.
- Owner specialty (Engineer, QA, Designer, Security, DevRel, Manager, etc.).
- Scope and deliverables.
- Acceptance criteria.
- Blocks/blocked-by relationships expressed by phase letter or child title.
6. **Acceptance** — the bar for the parent issue. How the user knows the whole thing is done.
7. **Risks and mitigations** — short list. Skip if there are none.
8. **Deferrals** — what is intentionally pushed to follow-up issues, with why.
## Rules of thumb for splitting
- One child issue, one specialty. If two specialties have to coordinate inside the same issue, split it.
- One child issue, one acceptance verdict. If a reviewer would say "this is half done", split it.
- A child must be checkout-able by the owner from its title and description alone. Reviewers should not have to re-read the parent plan to understand a child.
- Order children by real blocker chains, not by author preference. Parallel children should explicitly say `blockers: none`.
- Avoid `polish` or `cleanup` child issues without acceptance criteria — they never close.
## Filing the plan
Use the Paperclip API to write the plan document, then comment:
- `PUT /api/issues/{issueId}/documents/plan` with the markdown body. If `plan` already exists, include the latest `baseRevisionId`.
- `POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments` with a short summary that links the plan: `/<prefix>/issues/<issue-id>#document-plan`.
- If approval is required: `POST /api/issues/{issueId}/interactions` with `kind: request_confirmation`, `targetRevisionId` set to the new plan revision, `continuationPolicy: wake_assignee`, and `idempotencyKey: "confirmation:{issueId}:plan:{revisionId}"`.
- Set the issue to `in_review` after creating the confirmation. Stay assigned so the acceptance wakes the planner.
When the plan is accepted, see the companion skill for converting accepted plans into Paperclip executable tasks.
## Anti-patterns
- Plan disguised as a description edit. Use the `plan` document.
- "Phases AZ" with no work breakdown inside the phases.
- Children with descriptions that say "see parent" — they fail at delegation time.
- Acceptance written as "code review approval". Reviewers need a behavior bar, not a process bar.
- Plans that bury blocker chains in prose. Use explicit blocked-by lines.
