chore: add pull-requests agent skill (#23364)

Adds a repo-local agent skill at `.agents/skills/pull-requests/SKILL.md`
that guides agents through the PR lifecycle for this repository:
creating, updating, and following up on pull requests.

Covers lifecycle rules (reuse existing PRs, default to draft), local
validation commands (`make pre-commit`, `make lint`, etc.), PR
title/description conventions, CI check follow-up, and explicit
guardrails against common mistakes.

# Pull Request Skill
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when asked to:
- Create a pull request for the current branch.
- Update an existing PR branch or description.
- Rewrite a PR body.
- Follow up on CI or check failures for an existing PR.
## References
Use the canonical docs for shared conventions and validation guidance:
- PR title and description conventions:
`.claude/docs/PR_STYLE_GUIDE.md`
- Local validation commands and git hooks: `AGENTS.md` (Essential Commands and
Git Hooks sections)
## Lifecycle Rules
1. **Check for an existing PR** before creating a new one:
```bash
gh pr list --head "$(git branch --show-current)" --author @me --json number --jq '.[0].number // empty'
```
If that returns a number, update that PR. If it returns empty output,
create a new one.
2. **Check you are not on main.** If the current branch is `main` or `master`,
create a feature branch before doing PR work.
3. **Default to draft.** Use `gh pr create --draft` unless the user explicitly
asks for ready-for-review.
4. **Keep description aligned with the full diff.** Re-read the diff against
the base branch before writing or updating the title and body. Describe the
entire PR diff, not just the last commit.
5. **Never auto-merge.** Do not merge or mark ready for review unless the user
explicitly asks.
6. **Never push to main or master.**
## CI / Checks Follow-up
**Always watch CI checks after pushing.** Do not push and walk away.
After pushing:
- Monitor CI with `gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER> --watch`.
- Use `gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json statusCheckRollup` for programmatic check
status.
If checks fail:
1. Find the failed run ID from the `gh pr checks` output.
2. Read the logs with `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`.
3. Fix the problem locally.
4. Run `make pre-commit`.
5. Push the fix.
## What Not to Do
- Do not reference or call helper scripts that do not exist in this
repository.
- Do not auto-merge or mark ready for review without explicit user request.
- Do not push to `origin/main` or `origin/master`.
- Do not skip local validation before pushing.
- Do not fabricate or embellish PR descriptions.
