Resolve Skill File Paths Correctly

1. Skills should be located relative to the current workspace root, NOT using ../ navigation outside it.
2. Use the standard skill lookup path: {workspace}/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md
3. Before reading a skill file, verify it exists using a glob or list operation.
4. If the exact skill path is unknown, search using find within the workspace directory only.
5. If no matching skill is found, report the failure clearly and suggest available alternatives.

Example: bash

Correct approach

ls {workspace}/skills/conduct-lab-tour/

If not found, search:

find {workspace}/skills -name "*.md" | grep -i temi

Anti-pattern: Using ../Desktop/... paths that resolve outside the workspace, causing ENOENT errors and incorrect skill discovery.
