Add an agent-maintained skill to keep repo docs up to date #48112

Description

@msyyc

Motivation

Agents (Copilot, MCP-based assistants, etc.) increasingly perform tasks in this repo by reading the docs and instructions we ship (AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/skills/, doc/dev/, etc.). The quality of those docs directly affects the agent''s success rate: if the docs are stale, incomplete, or inconsistent with the current code/tooling, the agent gets the wrong info and produces worse results.

If we can refresh and check the docs in time, an agent can pull the right information straight from the repo and complete tasks more reliably.

Proposal

Create a skill (or reusable pattern) that leverages an agent to keep this repo''s docs up to date. This skill will be written and maintained by the agent itself — the agent decides the checklist, method, and solutions for keeping docs accurate and self-consistent.

Goal

Improve agent task success rate by ensuring repo docs are accurate, current, and self-consistent — so agents get the right info directly from the repo.
