context_hint: When asked to create a Claude Code skill for using the Arcanist agent or documenting how to operate the Arcanist CLI

When creating a Claude Code skill file for using Arcanist itself (e.g. `.claude/skills/arcanist-agent.md`), always include the full `arcanist` CLI command reference with exact syntax for all commands: `login`, `create`, `message`, `stop`, `transcript`, `watch`. The agent's first attempt omitted actual bash commands entirely — the user had to correct it by pasting the full `arcanist --help` output. The skill file is incomplete without concrete, runnable CLI syntax.
