//! Skill file parser for markdown with YAML frontmatter.
//!
//! This parser supports skill files from multiple coding agents:
//! - Claude Code style (YAML frontmatter with markdown body)
//! - Cursor style (similar YAML frontmatter)
//! - Amp style (may include `system_prompt` in frontmatter)
//! - Codex style (may use `id` instead of `name`)
//!
//! The parser handles common field name variations:
//! - `name`, `id`, `title` -> name
//! - `description`, `desc`, `summary` -> description
//! - `system_prompt`, `prompt`, `instructions` -> can be in frontmatter
//! - `tools`, `allowed_tools`, `denied_tools` -> tool configuration
