parseSkill in web/js/skills.js looks for front matter with ^---\n. A SKILL.md saved with \r\n line endings has none: parseSkill("---\r\nname: demo\r\ndescription: x\r\n---\r\nBody") returns the fallback name skill, an empty description and the whole file as content. Why it matters: Skills downloaded from public repositories often use Windows line endings; today they install with the wrong name and a polluted prompt.

Proposal

Convert \r\n to \n at the start of parseSkill and change nothing else.

Acceptance criteria

  1. parseSkill("---\r\nname: demo\r\ndescription: x\r\n---\r\nBody") returns { name: "demo", description: "x", content: "Body" }, and still returns { name: "fallback", description: "", content: "Body only" } for parseSkill("Body only", "fallback").
