feat: add paperclip-dev skill with optional bundled skill support (#3854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents working on the Paperclip codebase itself need guidance on dev
workflows: server lifecycle, worktrees, builds, database ops,
diagnostics
> - There was no bundled skill covering these workflows — agents had to
figure it out from scratch each time
> - Additionally, not every skill should be force-installed on every
agent — a dev-focused skill should be opt-in
> - This PR adds a `paperclip-dev` skill with `required: false`
frontmatter so it ships with Paperclip but isn't auto-installed
> - The skill's PR section references canonical files
(`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`) instead of
duplicating their content, with gated instructions that force agents to
read those files before creating any PR
> - The benefit is that developers (human or agent) can opt in to
structured dev guidance without polluting the default agent skill set or
creating drift between duplicated docs

## What Changed

- Added `skills/paperclip-dev/SKILL.md` covering server management,
worktree lifecycle, builds, database ops, diagnostics, agent operations,
and common mistakes
- The Pull Requests section uses gated, reference-based instructions —
agents MUST read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and
`CONTRIBUTING.md` before running `gh pr create`, with a brief checklist
of required section names (no content duplication)
- Updated `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts` to respect
`required: false` frontmatter — optional skills are bundled but not
auto-installed on agents
- Added test in `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts`
verifying that optional skills are excluded from the default install set

## Verification

```bash
# Run tests
pnpm test

# Manual verification: create a fresh worktree without seeding
npx paperclipai worktree:make test-optional-skill --no-seed
cd ~/paperclip-test-optional-skill
eval "$(npx paperclipai worktree env)"
npx paperclipai run

# Verify paperclip-dev appears in company skill library but is NOT auto-assigned
# Call listPaperclipSkillEntries() — paperclip-dev should show required: false
# Call resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames() — paperclip-dev should NOT be in the default set

# Cleanup
npx paperclipai worktree:cleanup test-optional-skill
```

## Risks

- Low risk. The `required` field defaults to `true` when absent, so all
existing skills behave identically. Only the new `paperclip-dev` skill
sets `required: false`.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.6 (`claude-opus-4-6`) via Claude Code, with tool use and
extended context.
