Scan sibling book/course projects under /Users/dan/Documents/ws/ for new mascot directories and import any not yet present in this book-mascots repo. Use this skill whenever the user says things like "update the mascots", "check for new mascots", "import mascots", "sync mascots from the other books", "are there any new mascots to bring in", or otherwise asks to refresh this gallery from sibling projects. Copies pose PNGs and the prompt file into docs/mascots/<slug>/, regenerates per-mascot index pages, rewrites docs/list-mascots.md, updates the Mascots nav section in mkdocs.yml, and prints a summary report (new mascots added, total count, anything skipped).
Generate a new pedagogical textbook or general-purpose mascot. Use when the user asks to create, design, or generate a mascot; produce mascot image prompts; generate the seven standard mascot poses; create a character sheet; or add a mascot gallery entry in a book-mascots-style MkDocs project. Guides intake dialog, concept selection, collision checks, image generation, post-processing, and output files for neutral, welcome, tip, thinking, encouraging, warning, and celebration poses.
