## Description

This PR adds a new skill called `github-actions-codespaces-efficiency` that provides comprehensive guidance for auditing and improving GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows and Codespaces configurations. The skill helps developers reduce CI runtime, costs, and wasted runs by identifying common efficiency issues and providing actionable fixes.

Key features:
- Lean entrypoint for GitHub Actions and Codespaces efficiency work
- Selective loading of reference materials based on task scope
- Structured workflow for measuring current state and ranking fixes by payoff
- Conservative change recommendations to preserve required validations
- Comprehensive references for actions, codespaces, reporting, and patterns

The skill includes bundled assets: SKILL.md, agents/openai.yaml, and reference documentation.
