update-package-skill
Updates an existing package Skill for a new release of its npm or local package by testing only what changed since the version the Skill names. Use when a maintainer asks to refresh a package Skill after a release, or when a SKILL.md names an older tested version than the package.

# Update a package Skill
Bring an existing package Skill to a new package version with the smallest correct edit.
The current Skill was tested against an earlier version. Trust what the release did not touch.
To write a Skill from nothing, use `generate-package-skill`.
## Inputs
- The current Skill directory, and the package at the new version: a name and version, a directory, or prepared source.
- The tested version is the version the Skill's first paragraph names. If it names none, stop and report that the Skill needs a full rewrite.
- If the tested version equals the new version, change nothing and report that.
## 1. Copy, then diff
