* 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 4: Agent System
## Built-in Agents
| Agent | Model | Best For | Key Trait |
|-------|-------|----------|-----------|
| `explore` | Haiku | Fast codebase Q&A | Read-only, <300 words, safe to parallelize |
| `task` | Haiku | Running commands (tests, builds, lints) | Brief on success, verbose on failure |
| `general-purpose` | Sonnet | Complex multi-step tasks | Full toolset, separate context window |
| `code-review` | Sonnet | Analyzing code changes | Never modifies code, high signal-to-noise |
## Custom Agents — define your own in Markdown
| Level | Location | Scope |
|-------|----------|-------|
| Personal | `~/.copilot/agents/*.md` | All your projects |
| Project | `.github/agents/*.md` | Everyone on this repo |
| Organization | `.github-private/agents/` in org repo | Entire org |
## Agent file anatomy
```markdown
---
name: my-agent
description: What this agent does
tools:
- bash
- edit
- view

## Agent orchestration patterns
1. **Fan-out exploration** — Launch multiple `explore` agents in parallel to answer different questions simultaneously
2. **Pipeline**`explore` → understand → `general-purpose` → implement → `code-review` → verify
3. **Specialist handoff** — Identify task → `/agent` to pick specialist → review with `/fleet` or `/tasks`
Key insight: The AI automatically delegates to subagents when appropriate.
