Brooklyn Nicholson e4724ea455 feat(skills): describe a /skill turn the way the user typed it
A /skill invocation expands into a message that embeds the whole skill body.
Anything that summarizes a user turn from its raw content reads the skill's
prose as if the user had written it.

describe_skill_invocation() sits next to the existing extractor and reuses its
markers, returning `/work — fix the title leak` for an invocation with an
instruction and `/work` for a bare one. It also exports the SQL LIKE pattern
and excerpt-joint sentinel that listing queries need to recognize scaffolding
before a row reaches Python.

"""describe_skill_invocation() — recovering what the user typed from a /skill turn.
A /skill invocation expands into a message that embeds the whole skill body. Any
surface that summarizes a user turn from its raw content (session titles, sidebar
previews, the /rewind picker) otherwise shows the SKILL's prose as if the user had
written it.
Every case here builds the scaffolding with the real message builders rather than
a hand-written literal, so the description can't silently drift from the format it
parses.
