Recent discussions around this topic made it unclear if we actually want to support this in the skills extension SEP or not. Adding a formalized decision record for this so we can make sure what we have in the SEP lines up with our latest thinking.

Edit: also opened this: #82

Related to this ^^ I was thinking about whether this adds a filesystem requirement. I'm assuming that hosts without a local filesystem would unpack archives in memory into the same skill://<skill-path>/<file-path> namespace that individual-file distribution populates directly. So the filesystem-agnostic stance of the current SEP seems compatible with either distribution type.

Formalizes the April 18 decision to permit type: "archive" entries in
skill://index.json as a server-side packaging optimization, reinstating
symmetry with the Agent Skills discovery RFC.
