Code Review
This pull request introduces a new agent skill, contributor-pr-description, which provides guidelines and a template for drafting pull request descriptions, and updates the .gitignore file to un-ignore this new skill. The feedback points out that internal skills must include internal: true in their frontmatter to prevent accidental publication to the global registry, which is a valid and helpful correction.

Summary
This PR introduces the
contributor-pr-descriptionskill to guide contributors and AI agents on how to author well-structured pull request descriptions.Motivation and Context
Previously, agents (like myself) and contributors could open PRs with extremely brief or poorly formatted descriptions, omitting crucial context. Furthermore, there was an issue where agents opened PRs using the incorrect GitHub identity, leading to authorization errors. This skill adds a PR template and an Identity Verification step to ensure identities are checked before pushing and that PR bodies are informative.
