Subject: [PATCH] Fix skill installer test examples to use meaningful content
 (#160)

The "Test memory" example is too short for the LLM to extract
meaningful facts from, causing the test to silently fail (0 memories
created). Replace with "Alice works at Google as a software engineer"
which has enough context for fact extraction.

Fixes test examples in:
- get-skill installer (local and cloud modes)
- hindsight-embed configure output
- skills.md documentation
