Make the example match the warning.

The warning says skills is RC-only, but the install snippet above still uses npx trigger.dev@latest skills. Anyone copying it will land on the wrong release channel until stable. Switch the example to @rc for now.

🔧 Suggested fix 
- npx trigger.dev@latest skills
+ npx trigger.dev@rc skills

`npx trigger.dev@latest install-rules` still works as an alias, and `trigger dev` offers to install the skills on first run.

The old task and realtime guidance now lives in the `trigger-authoring-tasks` and `trigger-realtime-and-frontend` skills, alongside two new skills for building `chat.agent` AI agents. See [Skills](/skills) for the full list and supported assistants.

🚩 Other @latest references in the same files lack the RC warning

The new <Warning> blocks are placed immediately after the primary code examples, but several other mentions of npx trigger.dev@latest skills in these same files were not annotated with a similar caveat. For example, the non-interactive install example at docs/skills.mdx:43 (npx trigger.dev@latest skills --target claude-code --target cursor -y), the "Keeping skills updated" section at docs/skills.mdx:73, and the comparison table at docs/building-with-ai.mdx:49 all still reference @latest without any RC note. Users who jump to those sections may miss the warning and try a command that doesn't work yet. This is a minor consistency gap rather than a bug — the primary install sections are correctly annotated.

(Refers to line 43)

The CLI detects your installed AI tools, lets you pick which skills to install, and writes each one into that tool's native skills directory (`.claude/skills/`, `.cursor/skills/`, `.github/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`). It also adds a one-line pointer to your primary instructions file (`CLAUDE.md`, `.cursor/rules`, etc.) so your assistant always knows the skills are there and loads the right one on demand.

When you run `trigger dev` for the first time, the CLI offers to install the skills for you.
