Introducing Skimmer

Introducing Skimmer, a CLI for "skimming" docs, webpages, PDFs, local markdown files, etc.

"Skimming" means sending chunks of content to Jev, with a goal, and letting Jev filter out the noisy chunks that will not help with the goal.

Skimming saves a huge number of LLM tokens. This saves money and wallclock time, but perhaps more importantly, it helps minimize context rot & forestall session compaction.
