webcmd plugin create: --author-name and --author-handle are silently required, not documented in the adapter-author skill's example

[ngaurav]

What's wrong

webcmd-adapter-author's skill doc gives this one-line example for promoting a local CLI to a plugin:

webcmd plugin create <site> --dir plugins/<site>

webcmd plugin create --help doesn't mark --author-name/--author-handle as required either. But in practice both are enforced, with a specific format requirement on the handle:

$ webcmd plugin create manchester --dir plugins/manchester --description "..."
Error: Invalid author.name: expected a non-empty string

$ webcmd plugin create manchester --dir plugins/manchester --description "..." --author-name "Nishant"
Error: Invalid author.handle: expected a valid GitHub username

Only after supplying both --author-name and a GitHub-username-shaped --author-handle does the command succeed.

Suggested fix

Either:

• Mark these flags as required in --help output (or give them sensible defaults, e.g. from git config user.name / gh CLI auth), or
• Update the adapter-author skill's example command to include working --author-name/--author-handle values.

Context

Minor compared to the other two issues filed alongside this one (#217, #218), but cost two failed attempts while a subagent built a new adapter (Manchester) following the skill.
