Expert workflow for creating, editing, and improving SConstruct and SConscript files for Stata/statacons research projects. Use this skill whenever the user wants to build or edit a statacons build system, set up dependency tracking for a Stata project, encode do-file build order, run scan_project.py or gen_sconstruct.py to auto-generate a SConstruct, write StataBuild tasks, set up config_project.ini or config_local.ini, understand SConstruct conventions, troubleshoot a statacons build, or manage Python scripts as pipeline steps via env.Command (including argparse, sys.executable, the Python scanner, or mixing Python and Stata tasks). If the conversation involves do-files, SConstructs, statacons, SCons + Stata, or SCons + Python pipeline scripts in any way, use this skill.
