This skill is for durable tools, not one-off scripts. If a short script in the current repo solves the task, write the script there instead.

Jobs: literal reads/writes such as list drafts, download failed job logs, search messages, upload media, read queue schedule.

Install name: a short binary name such as ci-logs, slack-cli, sentry-cli, or buildkite-logs.
