Pull request overview
Adds a --all option to gh skill install to install every discovered skill from a repository without specifying an individual skill, reusing the existing “install all skills” selection path (including collision detection), and extends tests to cover flag parsing and remote multi-skill installs.
Changes:
- Add
--allflag handling and validation togh skill install. - Reuse the existing “all skills” selection flow by short-circuiting selection when
--allis set. - Update help/examples and expand tests for parsing and remote installation of multiple skills.

LGTM! Just a question that may (not) need change.

Without --all, `gh skill install` opens an interactive list whose first row is a search box: Enter there re-enters search instead of paging, so the list only moves after arrowing down one row. That picker is gh's own UI, but nobody needs to see it — --all installs all 21 skills directly. --scope user also makes them apply in every project repo rather than only the current one, which matches how the CLI is installed (once per laptop). Notes the gh version caveat (--all landed in cli/cli#13471) and the per-skill fallback for older CLIs. README, docs/setup.md and the Windows verification runbook all updated.
