[FEATURE]: hierarchical skill autocomplete with /skill: prefix in TUI #35854
Description
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Problem
Skills are currently excluded from the TUI / autocomplete (autocomplete.tsx explicitly filters out source === "skill"). You can type /<skill-name> and it works, but there's no autocomplete to discover available skills — you have to use the /skills dialog instead.
Proposal: /skill: prefix for hierarchical autocomplete
Instead of dumping all skills into the flat / list (would clutter it), add a dedicated /skill: prefix:
/skill: → shows all skill groups
/skill:superpower → shows skills under superpower
/skill:superpower:brainstorming → select and invoke
The : naturally maps to the group:name convention many skills already follow (e.g. superpower:brainstorming, taste-skill:soft-skill).
Technical note
The full pipeline already supports this — skill names flow from SKILL.md → command registration → ACP sync → TUI, and submitting /<skill-name> works end-to-end. The missing piece is only the autocomplete UI layer.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

Agreed with the duplicate check — this largely overlaps with #34410. My specific proposal (hierarchical
/skill:prefix for namespacing) is more of an implementation approach within that same scope.Closing in favor of #34410. I'll add my implementation notes over there.

Closing as duplicate of #34410. The hierarchical prefix idea has been noted over there.
