Agent Implementation Notes

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

When user asks about SpaceX:

1. Run ./spacex launches for upcoming launches
2. Run ./spacex launches past for recent launches
3. Run ./spacex launch <id> for full mission details
4. 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.)
