Clicking a built-in skill mention while connected to a remote project
(SSH or collab) caused Zed to abort with `called create_local_buffer on
a remote project`.
## Root cause
`agent_ui::ui::mention_crease::open_skill_file` was calling
`Project::create_local_buffer` to display the embedded read-only content
of a built-in skill:
```rust
let buffer = project.update(cx, |project, cx| {
project.create_local_buffer(content, None, false, cx)
});
```
`Project::create_local_buffer` has an explicit panic guard for remote
projects, so any user who clicked a built-in skill mention while in an
SSH or collab project would crash Zed.
## Fix
The buffer is purely a display surface for binary-embedded skill content
— it has no on-disk backing, isn't searchable, and never needs to be
tracked by the project's buffer store. Build it directly with
`language::Buffer::local(content, cx)` instead, matching the pattern
used elsewhere in `agent_ui` (`thread_view.rs`, `message_editor.rs`,
`inline_assistant.rs`, etc.). This works for both local and remote
projects.
## Repro (before fix)
1. Connect Zed to a remote (SSH) project.
2. In the agent panel, click on a built-in skill mention (e.g. one
referencing `create-skill`).
3. Zed aborts with SIGABRT.
After the fix, the mention opens a read-only editor with the embedded
markdown content, identical behavior to local projects.
