What This Skill Does

Installs or updates DuckDB extensions from the core registry or community repositories. Supports plain extension names and `name@repo` syntax for third-party sources. Can also check if the DuckDB CLI itself is outdated and offer to upgrade it. Instead of manually opening a DuckDB session and typing INSTALL or UPDATE EXTENSIONS statements, this skill handles extension parsing, repo routing, and CLI version checks in a single command.
