A2A skill
This skill moves Ouroboros's Agent-to-Agent protocol support out of the
core runtime. It exposes a small local A2A-compatible JSON-RPC server and
registers three client tools:
discover — fetch another agent's Agent Card.send — send a message to another A2A agent.status — check a remote task status.
The companion process talks back to the host through the loopback Host
Service API using the reviewed SkillToken grant. It does not patch the
core runtime and stores task state under the skill state directory.
