cmd: add --no-skills, --skill, and --skills-dir CLI flags & config (#55)

* cmd: add --no-skills, --skill, and --skills-dir CLI flags

The pkg/kit Options struct already had full backend support for skills
control (NoSkills, Skills []string, SkillsDir) wired into loadSkills()
in pkg/kit/kit.go, but there were no corresponding CLI flags to drive
them. This commit closes that gap.

Changes in cmd/root.go:

- Add three package-level flag variables alongside the existing
  noExtensionsFlag/extensionPaths group:
    noSkillsFlag bool
    skillsPaths  []string
    skillsDir    string

- Register three persistent cobra flags in init():
    --no-skills        disable skill loading (auto-discovery and explicit)
    --skill <path>     load a skill file or directory (repeatable)
    --skills-dir <dir> override the project-local skills directory
                       used for auto-discovery

- Wire all three into the kitOpts struct literal in runNormalMode()
  so they flow directly into kit.New() -> loadSkills().

No changes to pkg/kit or internal/skills -- the backend was already
complete. No viper binding is needed because kit.go reads these fields
directly from opts rather than from viper (unlike NoExtensions which
uses the viper fallback path).

Example usage:
  kit --no-skills "prompt"
  kit --skill ./my-skill.md --skill ./other-skill.md "prompt"
  kit --skills-dir /path/to/skills "prompt"

* docs: document --no-skills, --skill, and --skills-dir CLI flags

Add the three new skills CLI flags to all relevant documentation:

- README.md: add Skills section under Global Flags CLI reference
- www/pages/cli/flags.md: add Skills table (mirrors Extensions section pattern)
- www/pages/cli/commands.md: expand the Skills section with usage examples
  and a description of auto-discovery vs explicit loading vs --no-skills

* feat: add config file support for skills options

Skills could previously only be controlled via CLI flags or SDK Options
fields. This commit wires all three skills settings into viper so they
can also be set in .kit.yml / .kit.yaml / .kit.json and via KIT_*
environment variables — matching the pattern used by no-extensions,
no-core-tools, and prompt-template.

cmd/root.go:
- Bind --no-skills, --skill, and --skills-dir flags to viper keys
  (no-skills, skill, skills-dir) so config file values flow through.

pkg/kit/kit.go:
- At skill-load time, merge opts fields with viper values:
  - noSkills = opts.NoSkills || v.GetBool("no-skills")
  - skillPaths: opts.Skills if non-empty, else v.GetStringSlice("skill")
  - skillsDir: opts.SkillsDir if non-empty, else v.GetString("skills-dir")
- Build a shallow-copied mergedOpts so loadSkills() picks up the
  resolved values without mutating the original Options struct.

docs:
- README.md: add skills keys to the Basic Configuration YAML example
- www/pages/configuration.md: add no-skills, skill, skills-dir rows to
  the All configuration keys table

Config file example (.kit.yml):
  no-skills: false
  skill:
    - /path/to/skill.md
  skills-dir: /path/to/skills/

* config: add skills keys to default .kit.yml template

Add no-skills, skill, and skills-dir as commented-out examples in the
default config file generated by EnsureConfigExists(), alongside the
existing application settings block.

* test: add test coverage for skills CLI flags and config keys

Four test locations updated:

pkg/kit/export_test.go:
- Add ConfigStringSliceForTest() helper to expose v.GetStringSlice()
  from the Kit's isolated viper store, needed to assert skill list values.

pkg/kit/kit_test.go (TestNewWithSkillsOptions):
- NoSkills=true: GetSkills() returns empty slice
- SkillsDir=<empty dir>: kit.New() succeeds with zero skills
- Skills=[file]: single explicit skill file is loaded and name parsed correctly

pkg/kit/viper_isolation_test.go:
- TestSkillsViperKeys: no-API-key struct-level checks for NoSkills, Skills,
  and SkillsDir fields on Options
- TestSkillsConfigFileKeys: full kit.New() round-trips via a written .kit.yml
  for each of the three config keys:
    no-skills: true  → GetSkills() returns empty
    skill: [path]    → named skill loaded from config file path
    skills-dir: dir  → custom discovery root accepted without error

internal/config/config_test.go (TestEnsureConfigExists):
- Assert generated ~/.kit.yml template contains '# Skills configuration',
  'no-skills:', and 'skills-dir:' comment blocks.

+description: Read-only audit for dead code, duplication, boundary violations, and refactor opportunities
+---
+
+Perform a comprehensive **read-only** audit of this repository and report
+findings. **Do not edit, rename, or delete any files.** Optional focus / scope
+hints from the user: $@
+
+## Scope
+
+If the user supplied focus hints above (a package path, a subsystem name, a
+concern like "TUI" or "extensions"), scope the audit accordingly. Otherwise
+audit the whole repo, prioritising the highest-traffic packages first
+(`cmd/`, `internal/`, `pkg/kit/` for this repo).
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Map the repo first**:
+   - `ls` / `find` the top-level layout and list every Go package
+   - Read `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`, and any `pkg/*/doc.go` to understand the
+     intended architectural boundaries (SDK vs internal vs TUI vs cmd vs
+     extension surface)
+   - Note the public SDK surface (`pkg/kit/`) and any documented invariants
+     (e.g. "no dependency name leakage", "UI never imports extensions
+     directly") — these define what counts as a violation
+
+2. **Hunt for dead code**:
+   - Run `go vet ./...` and capture warnings
+   - Use `grep` to find exported symbols (`^func [A-Z]`, `^type [A-Z]`,
+     `^var [A-Z]`, `^const [A-Z]`) and cross-reference call sites. Symbols
+     with zero non-test references inside the module are suspects
+   - Check for unreferenced files, `// TODO: remove` markers, commented-out
+     blocks, and `_ = x` discard patterns
+   - If `staticcheck`, `deadcode`, or `unused` are available on PATH, run
+     them and include their output verbatim
+   - **Do not delete anything** — list candidates with file:line and a
+     confidence level (high / medium / low)
+
+3. **Find unnecessary duplication**:
+   - Look for near-identical function bodies, struct shapes, or switch
+     statements across packages — `grep` for repeated function signatures
+     and copy-pasted string literals / error messages is a fast first pass
+   - Distinguish *coincidental* duplication (two things that happen to look
+     alike but evolve independently) from *unnecessary* duplication (same
+     intent, drifting in lockstep) — only flag the latter
+   - For each cluster, propose where the extracted helper should live
+     (which package, which file) and whether it crosses a boundary
+
+4. **Check concerns / boundary violations**:
+   - **SDK leakage**: grep `pkg/kit/` for imports of `internal/...` types
+     in exported signatures, and for dependency-name leakage in exported
+     names / godoc (e.g. library jargon appearing in `LLM*` types)
+   - **UI ↔ extensions**: grep `internal/ui/` for any import of
+     `internal/extensions/` — per AGENTS.md the UI must not import
+     extensions directly; converters in `cmd/root.go` should bridge them
+   - **cmd vs internal**: business logic living in `cmd/` that should be
+     in `internal/` (and vice versa)
+   - **Cyclic risk**: packages that import each other transitively or that
+     reach across sibling boundaries unexpectedly
+   - For each violation, cite the offending import / signature with
+     file:line
+
+5. **Spot refactor opportunities**:
+   - Long functions (>80 lines) doing multiple unrelated things
+   - Deeply nested conditionals that flatten well with early returns
+   - Repeated `if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err) }` chains
+     that could become helpers — but only where the wrapping context is
+     genuinely uniform
+   - Structs with too many fields that hint at split responsibilities
+   - Exported APIs that would be cleaner with options structs / functional
+     options
+   - Tests that share setup boilerplate ripe for a helper
+   - Flag each with: location, current shape (1-2 lines), proposed shape
+     (1-2 lines), and estimated risk (low / medium / high)
+
+6. **Cross-check against project rules**:
+   - Re-read `AGENTS.md` "Key Patterns" section and verify nothing in your
+     findings contradicts the documented gotchas (Yaegi interface ban,
+     `prog.Send()` from `Update()`, function-field bug, etc.) — if a
+     "refactor" would reintroduce a known pitfall, drop it from the report
+     and note why
+
+7. **Write the report** as your final message (do not write it to disk)
+   structured as:
+
+   ```
+   # Code Audit Report
+
+   ## Summary
+   - N dead-code candidates
+   - N duplication clusters
+   - N boundary violations
+   - N refactor opportunities
+
+   ## Dead Code
+   ### High confidence
+   - path/to/file.go:LINE — symbol — reason
+
+   ### Medium confidence

+   ### Cluster: <short name>
+   - Sites: file:line, file:line, …
+   - Suggested home: package/path
+   - Notes: …
+
+   ## Boundary Violations
+   - Rule: <which rule from AGENTS.md / project convention>

+   - Fix sketch: …
+
+   ## Refactor Opportunities
+   - Location: file:line
+   - Current: …
+   - Proposed: …
+   - Risk: low/medium/high
+   - Why it's worth it: …
+
+   ## Suggested Next Steps
+   1. …
+   2. …
+   ```
+
+8. **End the report with an explicit reminder** that no files were modified,
+   and recommend the user pick the highest-leverage items to act on
+   manually (or via a follow-up `/fix-issue` style prompt) rather than
+   running a sweeping refactor.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- **Read-only, always**: no `edit`, no `write`, no `git commit`, no `go mod
+  tidy`. Use only `read`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`, and read-only `bash`
+  commands (`go vet`, `go build -o /tmp/...`, `staticcheck`, etc.)
+- **Cite every finding** with `path/to/file.go:LINE` so the user can jump
+  straight to it
+- **Be honest about confidence**: false positives in a code audit are
+  expensive — prefer "medium confidence, worth a look" over confidently
+  wrong claims
+- **Quantity isn't quality**: 10 sharp findings beat 100 nitpicks. Cut
+  anything that's purely stylistic unless it directly causes one of the
+  four issue categories above
+- **Skip generated code** (`*.pb.go`, `*_gen.go`, anything under
+  `vendor/`) and obvious third-party copies
+- **Don't propose architectural rewrites** — stay within the existing
+  shape of the repo and recommend incremental, reviewable changes

+Open a GitHub pull request for the current branch, filling out the repository's PR template with a description grounded in the actual commits and diff.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Verify the branch is pushed**:
+   - `git status -sb` and `git log @{u}..HEAD --oneline 2>/dev/null` — if there is no upstream or unpushed commits, run `git push -u origin "$(git branch --show-current)"` first
+   - If the working tree is dirty, stop and tell the user to commit first (suggest `/commit-push`)
+2. **Gather context**:
+   - `git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline` — list of commits going into the PR
+   - `git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat` then `git diff origin/main...HEAD` — read the actual changes
+   - Identify the linked issue (from commit messages, branch name, or extra user input: $@) — capture as `Fixes #N` if applicable
+3. **Locate the PR template**:
+   - Check `.github/pull_request_template.md`, `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`, or `docs/pull_request_template.md`
+   - If none exists, use a minimal `## Description` / `## Type of Change` / `## Checklist` structure
+4. **Draft the PR body** by filling out the template:
+   - **Description**: 1–3 short paragraphs explaining *what* changed and *why*, grounded in the diff. Include a brief before/after example for new APIs when useful.
+   - **Fixes #N**: only if there is a real linked issue
+   - **Type of Change**: tick the single most accurate box with `[x]` (leave others as `[ ]`)
+   - **Checklist**: tick items that are genuinely true (style, self-review, tests added, docs updated)
+   - **Additional Information**: bullet list of added / modified files and any backward-compatibility notes
+   - Remove template sections explicitly marked "remove if not applicable" (e.g. MCP Spec Compliance) when they don't apply
+5. **Write the body to a temp file**: `/tmp/pr-body-<branch-or-issue>.md` — never inline a long body via `--body`, always use `--body-file`
+6. **Choose the title**: prefer the subject of the primary commit if it already follows Conventional Commits; otherwise craft one in the same style (`<type>(<scope>): <imperative summary>`, ≤72 chars)
+7. **Create the PR**:
+   ```
+   gh pr create \
+     --title "<title>" \
+     --body-file /tmp/pr-body-<...>.md \
+     --base main \
+     --head "$(git branch --show-current)"
+   ```
+   Use the repo's actual default branch if it isn't `main` (`gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name`)
+8. **Report the PR URL** returned by `gh` and stop
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Read the diff and commit messages — do **not** invent features that aren't in the code
+- One PR per logical change; if the branch contains unrelated commits, surface that and ask before continuing
+- Keep the description focused on reviewer-relevant information (what / why), not a replay of the diff
+- Only check checklist boxes that are actually satisfied; leave the rest unchecked rather than lying
+- If `gh` is not authenticated (`gh auth status` fails), stop and tell the user

+   ### Bug (`bug` label / `fix:` title)
+   - Reproduce the failure first (write a failing test if feasible) — if you cannot reproduce, comment on the issue asking for clarification and stop
+   - Locate the root cause; do not patch symptoms
+   - Add or extend a regression test that fails before and passes after the fix
+   - Run `go test ./... -race` and `golangci-lint run`
+
+   ### Feature (`enhancement` / `feature` label / `feat:` title)
+   - Re-read the motivation and proposed implementation in the issue body
+   - For large, ambiguous, or breaking changes, sketch the design in a comment on the issue and wait for sign-off before writing code
+   - Implement behind sensible defaults; add godoc on every exported symbol
+   - Add unit tests covering the new behaviour and edge cases
+   - Update `README.md` / `docs/` if the public surface changed
+   - Run `go test ./... -race` and `golangci-lint run`
+
+   ### Documentation (`documentation` label / `docs:` title)
+   - Open the file/URL referenced in the issue's "Documentation Location"
+   - Apply the suggested improvement; verify code samples compile (`go build ./...`)
+   - No tests required, but run `golangci-lint run` if Go files were touched
+
+5. **Report**:
+   - Branch name (`git branch --show-current`)
+   - Summary of files changed (`git status -s`) and the diff highlights
+   - Test/lint results (pass/fail with key output)
+   - Suggest the next step explicitly:
+     - `/commit-push` to commit with a Conventional Commit subject (the message should reference `(#$1)` and include `Fixes #$1` so merge auto-closes)
+     - then `/create-pr $1` to open the pull request
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- This prompt **stops at a clean working tree with the change applied** — do not run `git commit`, `git push`, or `gh pr create`
+- If the issue is unclear, post a clarifying comment on the issue and stop; do not guess
+- Keep the change scoped to the issue; surface unrelated cleanups separately
+- For breaking changes or architecture shifts, propose the design on the issue first and wait for maintainer sign-off
+- If the issue is a duplicate or already fixed on `main`, comment with the reference and stop
+- Do not close the issue manually — the eventual PR's `Fixes #$1` handles that on merge

 - **Filename** → slug: `commit-push.md` becomes `/commit-push`
 - **Frontmatter**: only `description` is recognised; keep it under ~80 chars
 - **Body**: plain markdown; the full text is submitted as the user's message when the template fires
-- **Arguments**: `$+` expands to everything the user typed after the slash command name
-  (requires at least one argument); `$@` is the same but allows zero arguments;
-  `$1`, `$2` for individual positional args; omit entirely if no arguments are needed
+- **Required args**: kit infers required positional args from the highest `$N` it finds *outside* backtick/tilde code fences — a stray `$2` in active prose means kit will refuse to run without 2 arguments
+
+## Argument placeholders
+
+kit performs shell-style substitution before sending the prompt to the model:
+
+- `$1`, `$2`, … — positional arguments (1-indexed)
+- `${1}`, `${2}`, … — same, brace form (use when followed by digits/letters: `${1}_suffix`)
+- `$@` — all arguments joined by spaces (zero or more, optional)
+- `$+` — all arguments, **at least one required**
+- `$ARGUMENTS` / `${ARGUMENTS}` — alias for `$@`
+- `${@:N}` — args from the Nth onwards (1-indexed, bash-style)
+- `${@:N:L}` — `L` args starting from the Nth
+
+### ⚠️ Critical: code fences and inline code preserve placeholders verbatim
+
+Anything inside triple-backtick fences, `~~~` fences, or single-backtick `inline` code spans is **left untouched** so example code samples don't get corrupted. That means:
+
+- An inline-coded `gh issue view $1` stays literal `$1` in the model's input ❌
+- The same command without backticks: gh issue view $1 → expands to `gh issue view 42` ✓
+
+**Rule of thumb:** if you want a placeholder to substitute, keep it outside backticks and fences. If you want a literal `$1` in the output (e.g. teaching the user shell syntax), put it inside backticks.
+
+### Workarounds for "I want it to look like code AND substitute"
+
+1. **Drop the backticks** around just the placeholder portion — the rest can still read as a command line in prose
+2. **Use a 4-space-indented code block** instead of a triple-backtick fence — kit only skips backtick/tilde fences, so indentation-style code blocks still get substitution:
+
+       git push -u origin "$(git branch --show-current)"
+       gh pr create --title "fix: ... (#$1)" --base main
+
+3. **Bind once, reference loosely**: put `Issue: $1` at the top in prose, then leave the backticked examples literal — the model will substitute mentally

+description: Audit and update project documentation (README and docs site) for a recent change
+---
+
+Review recent code changes, identify all documentation surfaces that should
+mention them, and update each one — grounded in the actual diff, not guesses.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Identify the change**:
+   - If the user input ($@) names a commit / PR / branch / topic, use that as the focus
+   - Otherwise inspect `git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline` and `git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat` to discover what shipped on the current branch
+   - Read the actual diff (`git diff origin/main...HEAD`) — never document features that aren't in the code
+
+2. **Inventory the doc surfaces**:
+   - `README.md` at the repo root
+   - Any docs site (commonly `www/`, `docs/`, `site/`) — list its pages and identify the one(s) most thematically related to the change
+   - Inline godoc / API reference comments on the new exported symbols
+   - `CHANGELOG.md` if the project keeps one
+   - Any `examples/` directory entries that demonstrate the affected area
+
+3. **Audit each surface** with `grep`:
+   - Search for the names of related existing APIs (e.g. if you added `IterTools`, grep for `ListTools`) to find every page that already discusses the area
+   - Decide for each hit: does it need a cross-reference, a side-by-side comparison, or to stay untouched?
+
+4. **Decide where new content lives**:
+   - Prefer extending an existing page over creating a new one
+   - For a docs site, place new sections near related content (check the page's `## Heading` outline first)
+   - Skip surfaces that genuinely don't apply (e.g. a server-focused README for a client-only change) and say so explicitly
+
+5. **Draft the updates**:
+   - Lead with a one-sentence statement of what's new and why
+   - Show concrete code examples copied from real signatures — verify against the source files
+   - Include a comparison / "when to use which" table when adding an alternative to an existing API
+   - Note backwards-compatibility behaviour if relevant
+
+6. **Verify the docs build** before committing:
+   - For vocs / docusaurus / mkdocs sites, run the local build command (e.g. `npx vocs build`, `mkdocs build`) and fix any MDX/markdown errors
+   - For godoc, run `go vet ./...` and `go doc <pkg> <Symbol>` to sanity-check rendering
+
+7. **Report**:
+   - List every file changed and every file deliberately left alone (with a one-line reason)
+   - Suggest the next step (typically `/commit-push`) — do not auto-commit unless asked
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Read the diff before writing anything — invented API names erode trust faster than missing docs
+- One change per doc commit; keep doc updates separate from code changes when possible
+- Match the existing voice and formatting of each surface (headings, code-fence languages, table styles)
+- Prefer linking between pages over duplicating content

-# Autoscroll Fix - Final Summary
-
-## Root Cause
-
-The autoscroll was failing for streaming assistant messages due to a bug in how `GotoBottom()` calculated item heights.
-
-### The Problem
-
-1. **Reasoning blocks** (`StreamingMessageItem` with `role="reasoning"`) are **never cached** because they have live duration counters that update every render
-2. The `Height()` method returns `0` when `cachedRender == ""`
-3. `GotoBottom()` was calling:
-   ```go
-   itemHeight := item.Height()  // Returns 0 for reasoning
-   if itemHeight == 0 {
-       item.Render(s.width)  // Renders but doesn't cache (reasoning)
-       itemHeight = item.Height()  // Still returns 0!
-   }
-   ```
-4. This caused incorrect scroll position calculations, especially during reasoning → assistant transitions
-
-## The Solution
-
-Changed `GotoBottom()` and `AtBottom()` to calculate height **directly from the rendered string** instead of relying on the cached height:
-
-```go
-// OLD: item.Height() which checks cached render
-itemHeight := item.Height()
-if itemHeight == 0 {
-    item.Render(s.width)
-    itemHeight = item.Height()  // Still might be 0!
-}
-
-// NEW: Calculate from rendered string directly
-rendered := item.Render(s.width)
-itemHeight := strings.Count(rendered, "\n") + 1
-```
-
-This works for **all** items regardless of whether they cache their render or not.
-
-## Files Changed
-
-### `internal/ui/scrolllist.go`
-- **`GotoBottom()`**: Calculate height from rendered string (2 loops)
-- **`AtBottom()`**: Calculate height from rendered string (1 loop)
-
-### `internal/ui/model.go`
-- **`appendStreamingChunk()`**: For existing messages, call `GotoBottom()` directly (iteratr pattern)
-- **`refreshContent()`**: Simplified to only call `SetItems()` (removed redundant `GotoBottom()`)
-- **Bash streaming handler**: Removed redundant `GotoBottom()` after `refreshContent()`
-
-## Testing Results
-
-✅ **Test prompt**: "explore this repo"
-
-**Before fix**:
-- Autoscroll stopped after reasoning block completed
-- Viewport stuck showing end of reasoning ("Thought for 203ms")
-- Assistant response streamed off-screen below
-
-**After fix**:
-- Autoscroll works throughout reasoning block
-- Autoscroll continues during reasoning → assistant transition  
-- Viewport stays at bottom showing latest assistant content
-- Final position shows end of response (build commands section)
-
-## Behavior Verified
-
-1. ✅ Streaming text auto-scrolls to bottom
-2. ✅ Works across reasoning → assistant transition
-3. ✅ Manual scroll up (PgUp) disables autoscroll
-4. ✅ Scroll to bottom (Alt+End) re-enables autoscroll
-5. ✅ Accurate positioning with no offset errors
-
-## Performance Note
-
-The fix calls `Render()` on all items during `GotoBottom()` calculations. This is acceptable because:
-- `Render()` is already optimized with caching for non-reasoning items
-- `GotoBottom()` is only called during content updates (not every frame)
-- Reasoning blocks need to render anyway for live duration updates
-- This matches iteratr's approach of ensuring items are rendered before height calculations

+    kit.WithModel("anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"),
+    kit.WithSystemPrompt("You are a helpful assistant."),
+    kit.WithMaxTokens(8192),
+    kit.WithThinkingLevel("medium"),
+    kit.Ephemeral(), // in-memory session, no persistence
+)
+```
+
+Available options: `WithModel`, `WithSystemPrompt`, `WithStreaming`,
+`WithMaxTokens`, `WithThinkingLevel`, `WithTools`, `WithExtraTools`,
+`WithProviderAPIKey`, `WithProviderURL`, `WithConfigFile`, `WithDebug`, and
+`Ephemeral`. For advanced configuration not covered by the helpers (custom MCP
+config, in-process MCP servers, session backends, MCP task tuning) construct an
+`Options` value explicitly and call `kit.New`.
+
+### Per-instance config isolation
+
+Each `kit.New` / `kit.NewAgent` call owns an **isolated configuration store**,
+so constructing multiple Kit instances in the same process is safe: setting the
+model, thinking level, or generation parameters on one never affects another,
+and runtime mutators (`SetModel`, `SetThinkingLevel`) only touch the owning
+instance. This makes subagent spawning and multi-Kit embedding race-free with
+no external synchronization required.
+
+### MCP OAuth (remote MCP servers)
+
+When a remote MCP server returns 401, Kit runs the full OAuth flow (dynamic
+client registration → PKCE → token exchange → persistence) but delegates the
+user-facing step — showing the authorization URL and receiving the callback —
+to an `MCPAuthHandler` that you pass explicitly via `Options.MCPAuthHandler`.
+If nil, OAuth is disabled and the authorization-required error surfaces to the
+caller; the SDK never auto-opens a browser or binds a localhost port.
+
+```go
+// CLI/TUI apps: opens the system browser + prints status to stderr.
+authHandler, _ := kit.NewCLIMCPAuthHandler()
+defer authHandler.Close()
+
+host, _ := kit.New(ctx, &kit.Options{
+    MCPAuthHandler: authHandler,
+})
+
+// Custom UX: reuse the SDK's port + callback server, supply your own
+// presentation via OnAuthURL (TUI modal, QR code, web redirect, etc.).
+//   h, _ := kit.NewDefaultMCPAuthHandler()
+//   h.OnAuthURL = func(server, authURL string) { myUI.Show(server, authURL) }
+//
+// Full control (web apps, daemons): implement kit.MCPAuthHandler yourself —
+// no localhost binding, no side effects.
+```
+
+Tokens are persisted to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.kit/mcp_tokens.json` by default; swap
+in a custom `MCPTokenStoreFactory` for encrypted, DB-backed, or in-memory
+storage. See the [SDK options docs](/sdk/options#mcp-oauth-authorization) for
+the full matrix.
+
+### MCP Tasks (long-running tools)
+
+Kit advertises [MCP task support](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/utilities/tasks)
+during `initialize`, so cooperating MCP servers can respond to `tools/call`
+with a `taskId` instead of blocking the connection. Kit then polls
+`tasks/get` / `tasks/result` until the task reaches a terminal state, and
+best-effort `tasks/cancel`s on context cancellation.
+
+Defaults are safe — a server that doesn't advertise task capability runs
+synchronously, exactly as before. Opt in per server via `tasksMode` in
+`.kit.yml` (`auto` | `never` | `always`) or programmatically through the SDK:
+
+```go
+host, _ := kit.New(ctx, &kit.Options{
+    MCPTaskMode: map[string]kit.MCPTaskMode{
+        "build-server": kit.MCPTaskModeAlways,
+    },
+    MCPTaskTimeout:  15 * time.Minute,
+    MCPTaskProgress: func(p kit.MCPTaskProgress) {
+        log.Printf("%s: %s", p.TaskID, p.Status)
+    },
+})
+
+tasks, _ := host.ListMCPTasks(ctx, "build-server")
+_, _    = host.CancelMCPTask(ctx, "build-server", tasks[0].TaskID)
+```
+
+See the [configuration docs](/configuration#mcp-tasks-long-running-tools) and
+[SDK options → MCP Tasks](/sdk/options#mcp-tasks) for the full surface.

+### Runtime Skills & Context Files
+
+For multi-tenant hosts (chatbots, per-user agents, web services), the SDK
+lets you swap skills and `AGENTS.md`-style context files **after** Kit
+construction. Every mutation recomposes the system prompt and applies it to
+the agent so the next turn picks up the new instructions — no restart needed.
+
+```go
+// Programmatic skill (no file on disk required).
+host.AddSkill(&kit.Skill{
+    Name:        "polite-french",
+    Description: "Respond in French and always greet the user.",
+    Content:     "Always reply in French. Open every response with 'Bonjour'.",
+})
+
+// Or load one from disk.
+host.LoadAndAddSkill("/var/skills/refund-policy.md")
+
+// Per-user AGENTS.md content pulled from a database.
+host.AddContextFileContent(
+    fmt.Sprintf("session://%s/AGENTS.md", userID),
+    rulesFromDB,
+)
+
+// Tear down session-specific state on logout.
+host.RemoveSkill("polite-french")
+host.RemoveContextFile(fmt.Sprintf("session://%s/AGENTS.md", userID))
+
+// Or replace the whole set atomically.
+host.SetSkills(activeSkillsForUser)
+host.SetContextFiles(activeContextForUser)
+```
+
+Skills dedupe by `Name`, context files dedupe by `Path` (which can be any
+opaque identifier — it doesn't have to be a real filesystem path). All
+mutators and readers (`GetSkills`, `GetContextFiles`) are safe to call
+concurrently from multiple goroutines. See the [SDK overview docs](/sdk/overview#runtime-skills-and-context-files)

+### Auto-routed Providers
+
+Any provider in the [models.dev](https://models.dev) database can be used as
+`provider/model` without a dedicated native integration. Kit auto-routes the
+request through the matching **wire protocol** based on the provider's npm package
+(or per-model override), using its `api` URL as the base:
+
+| npm package | Wire protocol |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| `@ai-sdk/openai` | OpenAI (Responses API) |
+| `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` | OpenAI (chat completions) |
+| `@ai-sdk/anthropic` | Anthropic |
+| `@ai-sdk/google` | Google Gemini |
+
+Providers with an `api` URL but an unrecognized npm package fall back to the
+OpenAI-compatible wire. Because routing follows the wire protocol, aggregator/proxy
+providers work across all of their models — including Claude, GPT, *and* Gemini
+routes:
+
+```bash
+kit --model opencode/claude-haiku-4-5 "Hello"     # → Anthropic wire
+kit --model opencode/gpt-5 "Hello"                # → OpenAI wire
