fix

* doc: update expired Slack invite link

* feat: add cloud mode to skill installer for team memory sharing

Adds support for Hindsight Cloud in the skill installer, enabling teams
to share memories about a codebase. Changes include:

- Add `--mode cloud` option to get-skill installer
- Install hindsight CLI binary for cloud mode (via get-cli)
- Configure ~/.hindsight/config with API URL and key
- Generate cloud-specific SKILL.md with team-aware guidance
- Distinguish between project conventions and individual preferences
- Update skills.md documentation with cloud setup instructions

Cloud mode workflow:
1. Team admin creates a bank in Hindsight Cloud
2. Each developer runs: curl ... | bash -s -- --mode cloud
3. All team members share the same memory bank
4. Knowledge retained by one member benefits everyone

+This migration implements the v4 mental models system:
+1. Deletes existing observation memory_units (observations now in mental models)
+2. Adds mission column to banks (replacing background)
+3. Creates mental_models table with final schema
+
+Mental models can reference entities when an entity is "promoted" to a mental model.
+Summary content is stored as JSONB observations with per-observation fact attribution.

-Your task: Synthesize the facts into clear, objective observations about {entity_name}.
-
-GUIDELINES:
-1. Each observation should be a factual statement about {entity_name}
-2. Combine related facts into single observations where appropriate
-3. Be objective - do not add opinions, judgments, or interpretations
-4. Focus on what we KNOW about {entity_name}, not what we assume
-5. Include observations about: identity, characteristics, roles, relationships, activities
-6. Write in third person (e.g., "John is..." not "I think John is...")
-7. If there are conflicting facts, note the most recent or most supported one
-
-EXAMPLES of good observations:
-- "John works at Google as a software engineer"
-- "John is detail-oriented and methodical in his approach"
-- "John collaborates frequently with Sarah on the AI project"
-- "John joined the company in 2023"
-
-EXAMPLES of bad observations (avoid these):
-- "John seems like a good person" (opinion/judgment)

-{query}
-
-ANSWER PROVIDED:
-{text}
-
-Your task: Find opinions in the answer and rewrite them AS IF YOU ARE THE ONE SAYING THEM.
-
-An opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or conclusion that goes beyond just stating facts.
-
-IMPORTANT: Do NOT extract statements like:
-- "I don't have enough information"
-- "The facts don't contain information about X"
-- "I cannot answer because..."
-
-ONLY extract actual opinions about substantive topics.
-
-CRITICAL FORMAT REQUIREMENTS:
-1. **ALWAYS start with first-person phrases**: "I think...", "I believe...", "In my view...", "I've come to believe...", "Previously I thought... but now..."
-2. **NEVER use third-person**: Do NOT say "The speaker thinks..." or "They believe..." - always use "I"
-3. Include the reasoning naturally within the statement
-4. Provide a confidence score (0.0 to 1.0)
-
-CORRECT Examples (✓ FIRST-PERSON):
-- "I think Alice is more reliable because she consistently delivers on time and writes clean code"
-- "Previously I thought all engineers were equal, but now I feel that experience and track record really matter"
-- "I believe reliability is best measured by consistent output over time"
-- "I've come to believe that track records are more important than potential"
-
-WRONG Examples (✗ THIRD-PERSON - DO NOT USE):
-- "The speaker thinks Alice is more reliable"
-- "They believe reliability matters"
-- "It is believed that Alice is better"

-| `any` | OR matching, includes untagged memories |
-| `all` | AND matching, includes untagged memories |
-| `any_strict` | OR matching, excludes untagged memories |

-## Tagging Memories
-
-Tags enable **visibility scoping**—useful when one memory bank serves multiple users but each should only see relevant memories. For example, an agent that chats with multiple users can tag memories by user ID and filter during recall.

-### Apply Tags to All Items in a Batch
-
-Use `document_tags` to apply the same tags to all items in a request:
-
-<Tabs>
-<TabItem value="python" label="Python">
-<CodeSnippet code={retainPy} section="retain-with-document-tags" language="python" />
-</TabItem>
-</Tabs>
-
-When both `document_tags` and item-level `tags` are provided, they are merged together.
-
-### Tag Naming Conventions
-
-Use consistent naming patterns for tags:
-
-| Pattern | Example | Use Case |
-|---------|---------|----------|
-| `user:<id>` | `user:alice` | Multi-user agent filtering |
-| `session:<id>` | `session:123` | Session-based scoping |
-| `room:<id>` | `room:general` | Chat room isolation |
-| `topic:<name>` | `topic:feedback` | Topic categorization |
-
-### Listing Tags
-
-Use the list tags API to discover existing tags, useful for UI autocomplete or wildcard expansion:
-
-```python
-# List all tags in a bank
-tags = client.list_tags(bank_id="my-bank")
-for tag in tags.items:
-    print(f"{tag.tag}: {tag.count} memories")
-
-# Search with wildcards (* matches any characters)
-user_tags = client.list_tags(bank_id="my-bank", q="user:*")
-admin_tags = client.list_tags(bank_id="my-bank", q="*-admin")
-```
-
-See [Recall API](./recall#filter-by-tags) for filtering memories by tags during retrieval.
