file-reading — router by file type

When asked to read or summarize a file, dispatch by extension to the appropriate skill under org/public/core/:

Extension	Skill	Script
`.pptx`	`pptx`	`python org/public/core/pptx/extract.py`
`.docx`	`docx`	`python org/public/core/docx/extract.py`
`.xlsx`	`xlsx`	`python org/public/core/xlsx/extract.py`
`.pdf`	`pdf`	`python org/public/core/pdf/extract.py`
`.txt`, `.md`	—	`cat`
`.csv`	—	`cat` (or `column -t -s,` for alignment)
`.json`	—	`cat` (or `jq .` if structure matters)

For extensions not listed, read the corresponding SKILL.md under org/public/core/ if one exists, otherwise fall back to file <path> to identify the format and proceed manually.
