fixes from rebase

- Fix tool result messages losing ToolName and ToolCallID fields
- Include Thinking in intermediate assistant messages during tool loops
- Inherit capabilities, remote config, and model family from base model
  when creating agents (fixes "does not support generate" for cloud models)
- Add tests for tool message construction and message stitching

+# Ollama Skills
+
+Skills are reusable capability packages that extend what agents can do. They bundle instructions, scripts, and data that teach an agent how to perform specific tasks.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Creating a Skill
+
+Create a directory with a `SKILL.md` file:
+
+```
+my-skill/
+├── SKILL.md          # Required: Instructions for the agent
+└── scripts/          # Optional: Executable scripts
+    └── run.py
+```
+
+The `SKILL.md` file must have YAML frontmatter:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-skill
+description: A brief description of what this skill does
+---
+
+# My Skill
+
+## Purpose
+Explain what this skill does and when to use it.
+
+## Instructions
+Step-by-step instructions for the agent on how to use this skill.
+
+## Examples
+Show example inputs and expected outputs.
+```
+
+### Using Skills in an Agent
+
+Reference skills in your Agentfile:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM llama3.2:3b
+AGENT_TYPE conversational
+
+# Local skill (bundled with agent)
+SKILL ./path/to/my-skill
+
+# Registry skill (pulled from ollama.com)
+SKILL library/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# User skill from registry
+SKILL myname/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+SYSTEM You are a helpful assistant.
+```
+
+### Managing Skills
+
+```bash
+# Push a skill to the registry (uses your namespace)
+ollama skill push myname/skill/calculator:1.0.0 ./my-skill
+
+# Pull a skill from the official library
+ollama skill pull skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Pull a skill from a user's namespace
+ollama skill pull myname/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# List installed skills
+ollama skill list
+
+# Show skill details
+ollama skill show skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Remove a skill
+ollama skill rm skill/calculator:1.0.0
+```
+
+### Dynamic Skills in Chat
+
+You can add and remove skills dynamically during an interactive chat session:
+
+```
+>>> /skills
+Available Skills:
+  calculator (sha256:abc123def456...)
+
+>>> /skill add ./my-local-skill
+Added skill 'my-skill' from ./my-local-skill
+
+>>> /skill list
+Skills loaded in this session:
+  my-skill (local: /path/to/my-local-skill)
+
+>>> /skill remove my-skill
+Removed skill 'my-skill'
+```
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/skills` | Show all available skills (model + session) |
+| `/skill add <path>` | Add a skill from a local path |
+| `/skill remove <name>` | Remove a skill by name |
+| `/skill list` | List skills loaded in this session |
+
+Dynamic skills take effect on the next message. This is useful for:
+- Testing skills during development
+- Temporarily adding capabilities to a model
+- Experimenting with skill combinations

+Skills use a 5-part name structure: `host/namespace/kind/model:tag`
+
+| Format | Example | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Local path | `./skills/calc` | Bundled with agent at create time |
+| Library skill | `skill/calculator:1.0.0` | From the official skill library (library/skill/calculator) |
+| User skill | `alice/skill/calc:1.0.0` | From a user's namespace |
+| Full path | `registry.ollama.ai/alice/skill/calc:1.0.0` | Fully qualified with host |
+
+The `kind` field distinguishes skills from models:
+- `skill` - Skill packages
+- `agent` - Agent packages (future)
+- (empty) - Regular models
+
+## SKILL.md Structure
+
+### Required Frontmatter

+---
+name: skill-name        # Must match directory name
+description: Brief description of the skill
+---
+```
+
+### Recommended Sections
+
+1. **Purpose**: What the skill does and when to use it
+2. **When to use**: Trigger conditions for the agent
+3. **Instructions**: Step-by-step usage guide
+4. **Examples**: Input/output examples
+5. **Scripts**: Documentation for any bundled scripts
+
+### Example: Calculator Skill
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: calculator
+description: Performs mathematical calculations using Python

+
+# Calculator Skill
+
+## Purpose
+This skill performs mathematical calculations using a bundled Python script.
+
+## When to use
+- User asks to calculate something
+- User wants to do math operations
+- Any arithmetic is needed
+
+## Instructions
+1. When calculation is needed, use the `run_skill_script` tool
+2. Call: `python3 scripts/calculate.py "<expression>"`
+3. Return the result to the user
+
+## Examples
+
+**Input**: "What is 25 * 4?"
+**Action**: `run_skill_script` with command `python3 scripts/calculate.py '25 * 4'`

+
+# Security Considerations
+
+## Current State (Development)
+
+The current implementation has several security considerations that need to be addressed before production use.
+
+### 1. Script Execution
+
+**Risk**: Skills can bundle arbitrary scripts that execute on the host system.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Scripts run with the same permissions as the Ollama process
+- No sandboxing or isolation
+- Full filesystem access
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Sandbox script execution (containers, seccomp, etc.)
+- [ ] Resource limits (CPU, memory, time)
+- [ ] Filesystem isolation (read-only mounts, restricted paths)
+- [ ] Network policy controls
+- [ ] Capability dropping
+
+### 2. Skill Provenance
+
+**Risk**: Malicious skills could be pushed to the registry.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- No code signing or verification
+- No malware scanning
+- Trust based on namespace ownership
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Skill signing with author keys
+- [ ] Registry-side malware scanning
+- [ ] Content policy enforcement
+- [ ] Reputation system for skill authors
+
+### 3. Namespace Squatting
+
+**Risk**: Malicious actors could register skill names that impersonate official tools.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- First-come-first-served namespace registration
+- No verification of skill names
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Reserved namespace list (official tools, common names)
+- [ ] Trademark/name verification for popular skills
+- [ ] Clear namespacing conventions
+
+### 4. Supply Chain Attacks
+
+**Risk**: Compromised skills could inject malicious code into agents.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Skills pulled without integrity verification beyond digest
+- No dependency tracking
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) for skills
+- [ ] Dependency vulnerability scanning
+- [ ] Pinned versions in Agentfiles
+- [ ] Audit logging of skill usage
+
+### 5. Data Exfiltration
+
+**Risk**: Skills could exfiltrate sensitive data from conversations or the host.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Skills have access to conversation context
+- Scripts can make network requests
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Network egress controls
+- [ ] Sensitive data detection/masking
+- [ ] Audit logging of script network activity
+- [ ] User consent for data access
+
+### 6. Privilege Escalation
+
+**Risk**: Skills could escalate privileges through script execution.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Scripts inherit Ollama process privileges
+- No capability restrictions
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Run scripts as unprivileged user
+- [ ] Drop all capabilities
+- [ ] Mandatory access controls (SELinux/AppArmor)
+
+## Recommended Security Model

+## Open Questions
+
+### 1. Skill Execution Model
+
+**Question**: How should skills execute scripts?
+
+Options:
+- **A) In-process**: Fast but unsafe
+- **B) Subprocess**: Current approach, moderate isolation
+- **C) Container**: Good isolation, requires container runtime
+- **D) WASM**: Portable and safe, limited capabilities

+
+### 2. Skill Versioning
+
+**Question**: How strict should version pinning be?
+
+Options:
+- **A) Always latest**: Simple but risky
+- **B) Semantic versioning**: `^1.0.0` allows minor updates
+- **C) Exact pinning**: `=1.0.0` requires explicit updates
+- **D) Digest pinning**: `@sha256:abc` immutable reference
+
+### 3. Skill Permissions
+
+**Question**: How should users grant permissions to skills?
+
+Options:
+- **A) All or nothing**: Accept all permissions or don't use
+- **B) Granular consent**: Approve each permission individually
+- **C) Trust levels**: Pre-defined permission bundles
+- **D) Runtime prompts**: Ask when permission is first used
+
+### 4. Skill Discovery
+
+**Question**: How should users find skills?
+
+Options:
+- **A) Central registry only**: ollama.com/skills
+- **B) Federated registries**: Multiple skill sources
+- **C) Git repositories**: Pull from GitHub, etc.
+- **D) All of the above**: Multiple discovery mechanisms
+
+### 5. Skill Monetization
+
+**Question**: Should skill authors be able to monetize?
+
+Options:
+- **A) Free only**: All skills are free and open
+- **B) Paid skills**: Authors can charge for skills
+- **C) Freemium**: Free tier with paid features
+- **D) Donations**: Voluntary support for authors
+
+### 6. Skill Updates
+
+**Question**: How should skill updates be handled?
+
+Options:
+- **A) Manual**: User explicitly updates
+- **B) Auto-update**: Always use latest
+- **C) Notify**: Alert user to available updates
+- **D) Policy-based**: Organization controls update policy
+
+## API Considerations
+
+### Skill Metadata API
+
+```
+GET /api/skills
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name/versions
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name/readme
+```
+
+### Skill Execution API
+
+```
+POST /api/skills/:namespace/:name/execute
+{
+  "command": "python3 scripts/run.py",
+  "args": ["--input", "data"],
+  "timeout": 30
+}
+```
+
+### Skill Permissions API
+
+```
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name/permissions
+POST /api/skills/:namespace/:name/permissions/grant
+DELETE /api/skills/:namespace/:name/permissions/revoke
+```
+
+## Testing Considerations
+
+### Skill Testing Framework
+
+```bash
+# Run skill tests
+ollama skill test ./my-skill
+
+# Test with specific model
+ollama skill test ./my-skill --model llama3.2:3b
+
+# Generate test report
+ollama skill test ./my-skill --report
+```
+
+### Test File Format
+
+```yaml
+# my-skill/tests/test.yaml
+tests:
+  - name: "basic calculation"
+    input: "What is 2 + 2?"
+    expect:
+      contains: "4"
+      tool_called: "run_skill_script"
+
+  - name: "complex expression"
+    input: "Calculate 15% of 200"
+    expect:
+      contains: "30"
+```
+
+## Compatibility Considerations
+
+### Minimum Ollama Version
+
+Skills should declare minimum Ollama version:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: my-skill
+requires:
+  ollama: ">=0.4.0"
+---
+```
+
+### Model Compatibility
+
+Skills may require specific model capabilities:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: vision-skill
+requires:
+  capabilities:
+    - vision
+    - tools
+---
+```
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### From Local to Registry
+
+```bash
+# Develop locally
+SKILL ./my-skill
+
+# Push when ready
+ollama skill push myname/my-skill:1.0.0 ./my-skill
+
+# Update Agentfile
+SKILL skill/myname/my-skill:1.0.0
+```
+
+### Version Upgrades
+
+```bash
+# Check for updates
+ollama skill outdated
+
+# Update specific skill
+ollama skill update calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Update all skills
+ollama skill update --all
+```
