//! Skill execution as Tool trait implementation
//!
//! Bridges Agent Skills to VT Code's tool system by implementing the Tool trait
//! for skills, enabling them to execute with full access to VT Code's permissions,
//! caching, and audit systems.
//!
//! ## LLM Sub-Calls (Phase 5)
//!
//! Skills can now execute with full LLM support via `execute_skill_with_sub_llm()`:
//! 1. Skill instructions become the system prompt
//! 2. User input is the first message
//! 3. All available tools are passed to the LLM
//! 4. Tool calls are executed and results are fed back
//! 5. Final response is returned
