The skill had grown into a reference manual: body type tables, auth strategy lists, a template function table, field-by-field OAuth 2.0 config. All of it goes stale, because the user's CLI version and their installed plugins decide what actually exists. On this machine a faker plugin contributes 274 template functions; the skill listed eleven, and got some names wrong. The CLI should carry that knowledge, so: - `yaak template-function list [filter]` and `template-function show <name>` report what the loaded plugins actually provide, the same way `request schema http` already merges in plugin auth strategies. - `yaak folder schema` now exists, so folder payloads are discoverable like every other model. Required deriving JsonSchema on Folder. - The request schema documents `bodyType` and `body` shapes, and states that setting a body type does not add a Content-Type header. The skill drops to a single 135-line SKILL.md that teaches the model, the workflows, and how to interrogate the CLI, and says outright that the CLI wins when the two disagree.
