Skill Creator
Help the user create a new skill by guiding them through these steps:

- Create the folder structure: Create a folder in
~/.claude/skills/with the skill name (kebab-case). - Write SKILL.md: Create the SKILL.md file with proper YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown instructions.
- Optional files: Create scripts/, references/, or assets/ subdirectories if needed.
