Science Skills Common
This is a shared Python package, not an agent skill. Skills import it as:
from science_skills.skills.scienceskillscommon import http_client
Each skill declares this as a dependency in its inline uv script header, so it
is installed automatically on first use.
This SKILL.md file is included so that standard skill installers automatically discover and install this package alongside the skills that depend on it.
