"""Tests for ``agent.skill_commands.reload_skills``. Covers the helper that powers ``/reload-skills`` (CLI + gateway slash command). The helper rescans the skills directory and returns a diff of what changed. It does NOT invalidate the skills system-prompt cache — skills are invoked at runtime via ``/skill-name``, ``skills_list``, or ``skill_view`` and don't need to live in the system prompt. ``added`` and ``removed`` are lists of ``{"name": str, "description": str}`` dicts.
