feat(skills): add community gardening skill

[afourniernv]

What

• Add a switchyard-community-gardening skill for daily queue pickup, review follow-up, and rotation handoffs.

Why

During my gardening rotation, most of the queue state and handoff process ended up living in my Codex thread. The existing scripts are useful raw input, but they do not cover returned work, maintainer decisions, review continuity, or what to leave for the next gardener.

This keeps the stable workflow in one small skill without storing current PR numbers, contributor lists, or rotation state. It builds on the tooling added in #556, #562, and #574.

Notes for reviewers

The existing community gardener scripts and human-maintained notes are unchanged. I ran the skill validator. No product code or public APIs change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added guidance for community gardening workflows, including evidence collection, daily task triage, rotation reporting, activity tracking, impact attribution, and safety practices.
  • Added structured output requirements and review handoff guidance based on current GitHub information.

This adds a community-gardening skill whose Ready to merge classification can omit required checks, current head status, and CODEOWNERS approvals, potentially causing premature merge recommendations. Clarify these conditions before merging.

_{A rabbit checks the GitHub queue,
With careful notes and evidence true.
It sorts each task and marks the state,
Then guards the gate before handoff waits.
Fresh reports grow from burrow light.}
