To support workflow for setting up skills locally, a symlink is suggested to be created in the root directory. These files should not be committed. Add common directories for skills configuration.
Docs mention that skills live in .github/skills but most if not all tools don't support this. Add information on how to set up a symlink to get desired skill functionality.

should we also cautious against using skills downloaded online blindly without auditing it due to security concerns?

Oh you mean like those you just download online without adding to the repo first?
Hmm, I feel like that's quite a given but maybe it'd be good to say that quiet part out loud ah (i.e. don't be stupid lol).
Maybe something like:
Do not use Skills found online without auditing them first. It is also strongly recommended to create a separate pull request to review the Skill before proper use.

| Skills are located in the `.github/skills/` directory. Many tools and agents require different directory structures to enable skill use. It is suggested to set up symlinks for the specific directory structure required. |

I understand that you have added some popular ai directories to the .gitignore. Do you think we can also mention that whoever using some other ai agents or repositories should also populate the .gitignore accordingly?
