* 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 6: MCP Integration
## What is MCP?
- Model Context Protocol — a standard for connecting AI to external tools
- Think of it as "USB ports for AI" — plug in any compatible tool
- The GitHub MCP server is **built-in** (search repos, issues, PRs, actions)
## Key commands
| Command | What it does |
|---------|-------------|
| `/mcp` | List connected MCP servers |
| `/mcp add <name> <command>` | Add a new MCP server |
## Popular MCP servers
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres` — Query PostgreSQL databases
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite` — Query SQLite databases
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem` — Access local files with permissions
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory` — Persistent knowledge graph
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer` — Browser automation
## Configuration
| Level | File |
|-------|------|
| User | `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` |
| Project | `.github/mcp-config.json` |
## Config file format
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "{{env.DATABASE_URL}}"],
"env": { "NODE_ENV": "development" }
}
}
}
```
## Security best practices
- Never put credentials directly in config files
- Use environment variable references: `{{env.SECRET}}`
- Review MCP server source before using
- Only connect servers you actually need
