ak skill remove
Remove the per-skill runtime record (cache untouched)
Delete ~/.agentkit/skills/<kit>/<skill>/ -- the per-skill manifest record. Idempotent: a missing record is treated as success.
Who it's for: Power devs cleaning up after a renamed kit/skill, CI cache flushers.
When to use it: When a skill is renamed, deleted, or its runtime block is removed.
What changes on disk: Removes ~/.agentkit/skills/<kit>/<skill>/. Shared package cache under ~/.agentkit/cache/<hash>/ is preserved.
