SciAgent Skill Creator

Repo-local scaffolder for skills/ entries. Mechanizes the boilerplate from CLAUDE.md Steps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 so authoring effort stays on content (When to Use, Workflow, Recipes, References) and not on field plumbing.

When to invoke this skill

• User asks for a new SciAgent skill entry on a specific tool, library, database, or guide topic
• User invokes /sciagent-skill-creator directly
• The agent is about to hand-edit registry.yaml and create a skills/<cat>/<name>/SKILL.md from scratch — use this instead

Do not invoke for:

• Editing an existing entry's content (just edit the file)
• Migrating an existing entry (read CLAUDE.md "Migrating from Existing Entries" first — the scaffolder generates a skeleton, but migration requires content judgment)
• Updating registry.yaml only (use a normal edit)
