Problem Statement

Collapse/minimize Skill tool output in TUI — show only skill name, not full SKILL.md content

When Claude invokes a skill, the TUI shows:

⏺ Skill (skill_name)
[Full SKILL.md content - potentially hundreds of lines]

The user must scroll past the entire skill content to see Claude's actual response.

Proposed Solution

Provide an option to minimize skill output display. For example:

Option A: Collapsed by default, expandable on demand
⏺ Using skill: backend-dev-guide [▶ expand]

Option B: Frontmatter-level control
Allow skill authors to specify display preference in SKILL.md frontmatter:
```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: ...
display: minimal # minimal | collapsed | full (default)
---

Option C: Global setting
{
"preferences": {
"skillOutputDisplay": "minimal" // "minimal" | "collapsed" | "full"
}
}

Any combination of these options would be welcome.
