Goose 3563f311db refactor: replace github-app-token docs with executable script
Move token generation logic from inline SKILL.md code blocks into a
single scripts/generate-token.sh that agents can invoke directly.
Adds env var validation, error handling, and gh CLI auth in one step.

# GitHub App Token Skill
Generate a short-lived GitHub App installation token and authenticate `gh`.
## Required Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| `GITHUB_APP_ID` | Numeric App ID from GitHub App settings |
| `GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID` | Numeric Installation ID for the target org/user |
| `GITHUB_APP_PEM_FILE` | Absolute path to the App's PEM private key file |
## Usage
```bash
bash github-app-token/scripts/generate-token.sh
```
The script validates env vars, generates a JWT, exchanges it for an installation token, writes the token to `$AGENT_HOME/.gh-token`, and runs `gh auth login`. On success it prints a confirmation line. On failure it exits non-zero with a descriptive error.
Requires `openssl`, `curl`, `jq`, and `gh`.
