Ruben Fiszel 136c88a231 docs(skills): decouple safe local commands from destructive sync push (#9467)
* docs(skills): decouple safe local commands from destructive sync push

The schedules, triggers, and resources skill templates lumped every CLI
command under a blunt "do NOT run them yourself" directive. This conflated
two very different risk profiles and forbade the agent from running even
read-only/local commands, creating needless friction.

Align these three with the nuanced policy flow-cli.md already uses: keep
`wmill sync push` defensive (it deploys and can be destructive to remote
state — only run when the user explicitly asks to deploy/publish/push),
while letting read-only commands (`sync pull`, `schedule`, `resource
list`) be run freely. Regenerated auto-generated skills + skills.gen.ts.

# Windmill Schedules
Schedules run scripts and flows automatically on a cron schedule.
## File Naming
Schedule files use the pattern: `{path}.schedule.yaml`
Example: `f/folder/daily_sync.schedule.yaml`
Note: The path is derived from the filename, not stored in the file content.
## Cron Expression Format
Windmill uses 6-field cron expressions (includes seconds):
```
┌───────────── second (0-59)
│ ┌───────────── minute (0-59)
│ │ ┌───────────── hour (0-23)
│ │ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1-31)
│ │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1-12 or jan-dec)
│ │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0-6, 0=Sunday, or sun-sat)
│ │ │ │ │ │
* * * * * *
```
**Common Examples:**
- `0 0 0 * * *` - Daily at midnight
- `0 0 12 * * *` - Daily at noon
- `0 */5 * * * *` - Every 5 minutes
- `0 0 9 * * 1-5` - Weekdays at 9 AM
- `0 0 0 1 * *` - First day of each month
## CLI Commands
`wmill sync push` deploys local changes to the workspace and can be destructive to remote state — only suggest/run it when the user explicitly asks to deploy/publish/push, not when they say "run", "try", or "test". The commands below never mutate remote state, so they're safe to run yourself — note that `sync pull` does overwrite local files to match the remote (use `sync pull --dry-run` to only preview), while `schedule` just lists.
```bash
# Push schedules to Windmill — only when the user explicitly asks to deploy
wmill sync push
# Pull schedules from Windmill
wmill sync pull
# List schedules
wmill schedule
```
