Reserved words list is not in the agentskills.io spec #1

Description

@olgasafonova

Context

The SKILL.md validation forbids these words in skill names: skill, skills, claude, anthropic, mcp, tool, tools, agent, agents, ai, assistant, bot.

The agentskills.io spec defines no reserved words at all. The name field rules are: 1-64 chars, lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, no leading/trailing/consecutive hyphens, must match directory name.

Impact

Skills with names like mcp-proxy or ai-review would be flagged incorrectly.

Recommendation

Either remove the reserved words check, or downgrade it to a suggestion ("consider a more specific name") rather than a warning/critical.
