* feat: add cli-mastery skill — interactive Copilot CLI training

Adds cli-mastery, an interactive training system for the GitHub Copilot CLI.
8 modules covering slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, modes, agents, skills,
MCP, configuration, and advanced techniques. Includes scenario challenges,
a final exam, XP/leveling system, and SQL-based progress tracking.

* fix: address review feedback on frontmatter and consistency

- Switch description from folded block scalar (>) to single-quoted string
  per AGENTS.md documented format
- Fix Module 7 heading: backtick-wrap @ separately from 'file mentions'
  to avoid implying '@ file mentions' is a literal command
- Fix Final Exam Q6: change '@ + filename' to '@filename' with example
  to match the @src/auth.ts syntax taught in modules
- Fix Final Exam Q7: add GEMINI.md to match Module 7 precedence list

* fix: rename curriculum/ to references/ per agentskills.io spec

Addresses review feedback from @aaronpowell on PR #915.
The Agent Skills specification defines references/ as the standard
directory for supplementary documentation that agents read on demand.

- Renamed skills/cli-mastery/curriculum/ → references/
- Updated all path references in SKILL.md
- Updated asset paths in docs/README.skills.md

# Module 3: Interaction Modes
## Interactive Mode (default)
- AI acts immediately on your prompts
- Asks permission for risky operations
- Best for: quick tasks, debugging, exploring code
- 80% of your time will be here
## Plan Mode (`Shift+Tab` or `/plan`)
- AI creates a step-by-step plan FIRST
- You review and approve before execution
- Best for: complex refactoring, architecture changes, risky operations
- Key insight: Use this when mistakes are expensive
## Autopilot Mode (experimental, `/experimental`)
- AI acts without asking for confirmation
- Best for: trusted environments, long-running tasks
- Use with caution — pair with `/allow-all` or `--yolo`
## Mode Comparison
| Feature | Interactive | Plan | Autopilot |
|---------|------------|------|-----------|
| Speed | Fast | Slower | Fastest |
| Safety | Medium | Highest | Lowest |
| Control | You approve each action | You approve the plan | Full AI autonomy |
| Best for | Daily tasks | Complex changes | Repetitive/trusted work |
| Switch | Default | Shift+Tab or /plan | /experimental (enables), then Shift+Tab |
Teaching point: The right mode at the right time = 10x productivity.
