Mohamed Boudra 90feb8050c feat(desktop): auto-update bundled skills on app launch
Skills installed via Paseo desktop never updated after first run, so
users were stuck on already-fixed skill content. On every launch, if
the paseo base skill is present in `~/.agents/skills/`, sync each
bundled skill (incl. `references/`) into agents, claude (via symlink/
junction), and codex — overwriting only files whose content differs.
Files on disk that are not in the bundle are left alone; deprecation
goes through tombstones (e.g. `paseo-orchestrate` redirects to
`paseo-epic`).

Also refreshes the bundled skill set: drops `paseo-chat`, adds
`paseo-advisor` and `paseo-epic`, and turns `paseo-orchestrate` into
a tombstone redirecting to `paseo-epic`.

Adds a desktop test job to CI on Ubuntu and Windows so the
junction/symlink path is exercised on both platforms.

# Paseo Advisor
Single agent. Reads the situation you're in. Gives a judgment. You decide what to do — the advisor doesn't drive the work.
**User's request:** $ARGUMENTS
## Prerequisites
Read the **paseo** skill — provider for the advisor comes from orchestration preferences unless the user names one.
## Picking the advisor
1. **User named one** (`--provider claude/opus`) → use it.
2. **Otherwise** resolve from preferences — pick the category that matches the question:
- Design / approach question → `planning`
- "Did I miss something" review → `audit`
- "Is this even right" → `research`
3. **Contrast helps.** If your own provider matches what preferences would pick, swap to a different family on purpose — fresh perspective is the point.
## The briefing
The advisor has zero context. Make it self-contained:
- The question, sharply.
- What you've considered and what you've ruled out.
- Relevant files by path (don't paste — let the agent read).
- Explicit ask: "give me a recommendation, with reasoning."
End with the no-edits suffix:
```
This is analysis only. Do NOT edit, create, or delete any files. Do NOT write code.
```
## Launch and synthesize
Create the advisor agent via Paseo with a `[Advisor] <topic>` title and the briefing as the initial prompt. Wait for it to finish. Read its response. Synthesize for the user — the advisor's verdict + your recommendation.
## Persistent advisor
If the user wants ongoing input ("keep this advisor for the next few decisions"), don't archive after the first reply. Send follow-ups when you need another take. Archive when the user says they're done, or when the topic shifts and a fresh context would serve better.
