Monte Carlo Storage Cost Analysis Skill

This skill analyzes a data warehouse for stale tables that can be removed to reduce storage costs. It delegates classification, safety scoring, and formatting to the analyze_storage_costs MCP tool, then presents the pre-formatted result verbatim and handles follow-up questions (category drill-downs, lineage checks).
