Subject: [PATCH 1/3] quiet skill install output and add next-steps summary
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace the noisy 'npx skills add' inherited stdout (banner, +/symlink
table, security report, ~80 lines per repo) with a single line per repo:
"  ✓ firecrawl/cli" / "  ✓ firecrawl/skills". TTY runs get a transient
"↓ <repo>" indicator while the install is in flight; non-TTY runs (CI,
piped) get only the final line.

Replace the trailing "Setup complete!" line with a printNextSteps()
block that surfaces:
  - what just happened (skills installed globally)
  - what firecrawl is for (search, scrape, crawl, interact)
  - 4 example prompts (2 build-skill triggers, 2 direct CLI calls)
  - pointer to firecrawl --help

Both interactive and non-interactive init paths use the same helpers,
so output is consistent regardless of how users enter the flow.
Bumped to 1.14.2.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tighten next-steps summary and surface skill count
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Parse '(Found|Installed) N skills' from captured npx skills output and
sum across both repos so the post-install summary shows
"✓ Installed 14 skills across your AI coding agents" instead of vague
text.

Collapse the next-steps block from 18 lines to 7: drop the 4 example
prompts in favor of one of each (AI prompt + direct CLI), plus the
MCP install hint and the --help pointer. Each entry uses padded labels
("Ask your AI:", "Run direct: ", "Add MCP:    ", "All commands:") so
the commands align in a column.

stepIntegrations and runNonInteractive both thread the count through
to printNextSteps. Tests still mock execSync as undefined, so
parseSkillCount handles the empty case. Bumped to 1.14.3.
