Renames the recently-merged MCP security skill to mcp-implementation-security-review and sharpens its description, to improve discoverability.

Why

The name now makes the skill's scope obvious at a glance — it reviews MCP implementation source code (servers, clients, tool handlers) against a security baseline — so agents route source-code-review requests to it reliably.

(For context: the post-merge check noted a possible name-prefix overlap with mcp-security-audit, but that check is informational/advisory only — no issue with the merge. The two skills cover different layers: config auditing vs. implementation-code review. This rename just makes that clearer.)

Changes

  • Rename skills/mcp-security-baseline/ -> skills/mcp-implementation-security-review/ (and the name field + H1 heading to match).
  • Sharpen the description's first line: "Review the implementation source code of MCP servers, clients, and tool handlers...".
  • Regenerate docs/README.skills.md.

No change to the review process itself. Validated with npm run skill:validate and npm run build; line endings normalized.

…d sharpen description

Renames the skill so its name makes the source-code-review scope explicit and
distinct from the existing config-focused `mcp-security-audit` skill (the
duplicate-detection check flagged the shared `mcp-security-` prefix; it is
advisory only). Also sharpens the description's first line to lead with
"implementation source code of MCP servers, clients, and tool handlers".

- Rename folder skills/mcp-security-baseline -> skills/mcp-implementation-security-review
- Update name field and H1 heading to match
- Regenerate docs/README.skills.md
