Description
## Feature/RFC: Meta Skill authoring for `SKILL.md`
I’d like to propose a small authoring-oriented capability for Meta Skills in Microsoft Agent Framework: helping an agent generate, validate, write, and evaluate a standards-compliant `SKILL.md`.
This is different from the existing runtime/provider work in #6301. That work focuses on loading and running skills from file-based, programmatic, class-based, MCP, `skill-md`, `archive`, and `resource-template` sources. This proposal sits one layer earlier: helping agents create valid skills in the first place.
The main idea is a lightweight lifecycle like:
```text
generate -> validate -> write -> eval
```
My main question is whether this kind of Meta Skill authoring layer belongs in Microsoft Agent Framework at all, or whether maintainers would see it as better suited for a separate companion package.
