docs: expand Docusaurus coverage across CLI, tools, skills, and skins (#1232)

Browse source 
- add code-derived reference pages for slash commands, tools, toolsets,
  bundled skills, and official optional skills
- document the skin system and link visual theming separately from
  conversational personality
- refresh quickstart, configuration, environment variable, and messaging
  docs to match current provider, gateway, and browser behavior
- fix stale command, session, and Home Assistant configuration guidance
