Instantiate a skill from a template. Forwards to voice's
``POST /from-template/{template_id}`` with the caller's org_id pinned.

Post-creation we re-fetch the new action and 404 if the resulting
runtime_type is not a skill — guards against templates of workflow
or script runtime sneaking into the skill surface.
