Create Skill

Author new agent skills — and audit existing ones — against the best practices distilled from Anthropic's official Skill authoring guide and the patterns already in this repo. Output is a complete skill directory plus the agent-skills.git symlink wiring and inventory updates.

This SKILL.md is a thin index. Detailed authoring rules live in rules/*.md and load on demand. Worked examples live in references/*.md. Literal scaffolding templates live in templates/*.md. Reading them all up-front would burn tokens you do not need yet — load only what the current phase asks for.
