Stray Skill Probe

This is a valid, spec-compliant skill — but it is installed outside every recognized skills root (e.g. at <project>/probe-stray/ instead of <project>/.claude/skills/probe-stray/). It tests whether platforms discover SKILL.md files anywhere in the project tree, or only under their designated skills directories.
