ak skill repair
Rebuild a corrupted per-skill runtime env
When ak skill verify reports corrupt, this command tears down the per-skill record and re-installs from the live runtime block. Other states (ok / missing / unknown) are no-ops so this is safe to drive from a reconciliation loop.
Who it's for: Power devs, drift-reconciliation jobs, CI cache hygiene.
When to use it: After ak skill verify reports corrupt.
What changes on disk: Removes ~/.agentkit/skills/<kit>/<skill>/, then re-runs install. Holds an exclusive advisory lock at ~/.agentkit/skills/<kit>/<skill>.lock for the duration; concurrent repairs of the same skill conflict.
