Published skillset@0.16.5 to npm with dist-tag `latest`.

## Changes

### Patch Changes

- 6b01f98: Allow explicit activation probes in `skillset test` declarations to invoke Claude, Codex, or Cursor through the shared `skillset try` harness, assert literal response facts, classify provider and assertion failures, and retain raw evidence in the XDG-backed runtime-test cache.
- 46f2862: Replace the implementation-shaped `runtime-tester` command with `skillset try`, including direct prompt execution, retained status/tail/list workflows, `SKILLSET_TRY_*` overrides, and XDG-backed `.skillset/cache/runtime-tests/` reports.
