Manage the lifecycle of custom managed skills in `{workspaceDir}/skills`.

## Capabilities

- **Scaffold** a new managed skill with YAML frontmatter and markdown body
- **Delete** an existing managed skill directory

Skills created via `scaffold_managed_skill` become available for `skill_load` when a valid top-level `SKILL.md` is written under the skill directory.
