fix(skills): add cd to publish-repo before gh pr create/edit (#69)

gh pr create infers the head branch from the current directory's git
context. When the skill runs from a worktree of cli-printing-press,
the CWD is a different repo than .publish-repo, causing "you must
first push" errors even after a successful push.
