Agent Implementation Notes

Script location: {skill_folder}/spacex (wrapper to scripts/spacex)

When user asks about SpaceX:

•Run ./spacex launches for upcoming launches
•Run ./spacex launches past for recent launches
•Run ./spacex launch <id> for full mission details
•Run ./spacex rockets for rocket info

Common queries:

•"Next SpaceX launch" → spacex launches upcoming 1
•"Recent launches" → spacex launches past 5
•"Falcon 9 specs" → spacex rockets then spacex rocket <id>
•"SpaceX crew" → spacex crew

Don't use for: Non-SpaceX launches (NASA, Blue Origin, etc.)
