feat(eval): add write-skill eval suite for Step 5 security checklist (#268)
* feat(eval): add write-skill eval suite; 5 cases for Step 5 security
checklist
Tests whether the agent correctly applies the prompt-injection-defence
checklist (reads_external_content, privacy_llm_gate_required,
injection_guard_callout_required) to a skill description. Covers
public-PR comments, private Gmail, local-only reads, a prompt-injection
attempt embedded in the description, and public issue bodies.
Generated-by: Claude (Opus 4.7)
* docs(skill-evals): fix run instructions to use python3, drop uv

+ (Gmail, PMC-private tracker, private lists).
+- `injection_guard_callout_required`: same truth-value as

+Do not include any text outside the JSON object.
