Updates description from specific directories to generic "relevant directories" |
The changes look good! The code properly adds the new directories in the correct precedence order, matching the documentation. The implementation maintains backward compatibility by keeping all existing paths while adding the new portable ones.

The documentation specifies ~/.config/agents/skills/ as the global skills directory, but the code was using ~/.config/agent/skills/ (singular). This fixes the mismatch to match the documented path.
