Skill Create

Scaffolds new Agent Skills with proper directory structure and pre-populated SKILL.md files. You get three templates: basic (just the markdown), with-scripts (adds a scripts directory and main.py), or with-assets (scripts plus an assets folder). It enforces naming conventions (lowercase, hyphens, must start with a letter) and won't clobber existing directories. The real value is standardization. If you're building multiple skills or working on a team, this keeps everyone's file structure consistent and compliant from the start. Pure Python stdlib, no dependencies. Think of it as create-react-app but for Agent Skills, just way simpler.
