502db8fae2* Add docs-as-MCP-server and plugin/powers use cases Add two new use cases from Clare Liguori and Luca Chang (AWS) shared in Discord after the first IG meeting: - Documentation as MCP Server (search_docs/fetch_doc pattern) - Skills + MCP Server Plugins (one-click bundling of skills + servers) Add related implementations and external resources (Strands, AWS MCP, Kiro powers, llms.txt, AWS Agent SOPs).
