evolve-skill

Evolve an existing skill by refining its content in-place or creating an advanced variant. Covers assessing the current skill, gathering evolution requirements, choosing scope (refinement vs. variant), applying changes, updating version metadata, and synchronizing the registry and cross-references. Use when a skill's procedure steps are outdated, user feedback reveals gaps, a skill needs a complexity upgrade, an advanced variant is needed alongside the original, or related skills are added and cross-references are stale.
