orc setup skills

Install bundled Orchestor SKILL.md directories to agent skill paths via symlink.

The command copies the embedded skills to the canonical .agents/skills directory. It then links each target agent's skill directory to the canonical copy. Windows uses directory junctions. If a link cannot be created, the command copies the same content instead.

By default, the command uses the user-level canonical directory at ~/.agents/skills and targets the user-level Claude Code skill directory. --agent and --all target project-level agent directories. Add --global to target their user-level directories.
