task-prepare

Before any other work in the first session, run python3 scripts/check_environment.py from the skill directory and show its output: it prints one OK/FAIL line per external tool from references/requirements.json (glab) with the copy-ready install command for every failure. It installs nothing and makes no network call; never install a tool automatically, print the command for the user.
