fix: quote argument-hint YAML values so Copilot CLI ≥1.0.65 loads all skills (closes #1)

[thejesh23]

Closes #1.

Summary

Purely mechanical single-character transform to 3 file(s): wrap the value after argument-hint: in double quotes so YAML parses it as a string instead of a flow-sequence array. Fixes GitHub Copilot CLI ≥ 1.0.65 silently dropping the skill.

- argument-hint: [foo]
+ argument-hint: "[foo]"

Bare [...] is YAML flow-sequence syntax → the loader receives ["foo"] (a list), fails its str validation, and rejects the SKILL without an error. Claude Code, VS Code Agent Skills, and every other loader document argument-hint as a string; the quoted-string form is what all reference docs show.

Files (3)

• command/debug.md
• command/review.md
• command/subagent-driven-development.md

Verification

• YAML round-trip via yaml.safe_load on every changed frontmatter reports argument-hint as str
• No vulnerable value contained " or \, so bare double-quote wrapping is safe

Sources

• Claude Code slash-commands / frontmatter reference — argument-hint documented as a string
• VS Code Agent Skills docs — same

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a careful quill,
Quoting hints with tidy skill.
Brackets stay, but strings now shine,
Three command paths align in line.
Hop, hop—metadata’s fine!
