Update skill versions to 1.4 and 1.5 across multiple skills, including infographics, latex-posters, literature-review, scientific-schematics, and scientific-slides. Enhance API key resolution logic in various scripts to improve credential handling and error messaging. Adjust image model references for clarity in infographic and schematic generation scripts.
