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.

- app-builderBuild and edit small, personal visual tools and artifacts — dashboards, trackers, calculators, data visualizations, charts, simple landing pages, and slide decks the user wants for THEMSELVES. This is the right skill whenever the user asks to "visualize this," "make a chart," or "build an artifact" for their own use, or to edit an app they already built here. Do NOT reach for a ui_show dynamic_page to fake an artifact — build a real persistent app here. NOT for complex, multi-user, or shippable products — those go to a real project folder with a coding agent (see Scope below).
