Get Skills

Load and merge skills from all configured sources.

Skills are loaded from multiple sources and merged with the following precedence (later overrides earlier for duplicate names):

1. Sandbox skills (lowest) - Exposed URLs from sandbox
2. Public skills - From GitHub OpenHands/skills repository
3. User skills - From ~/.openhands/skills/
4. Organization skills - From /.openhands or equivalent
5. Project skills (highest) - From /.openhands/skills/

Args: request: SkillsRequest containing configuration for which sources to load.

Returns: SkillsResponse containing merged skills and source counts.
