I looked into our setup and onboarding experience and stumbled over a few problems. I figured we can actually provide a skill for this - similar to how Claude Code and Gemini CLI use skills/agents to help their users.

I tested it with two scenarios: 1.) getting --autoConnect to work 2.) wrong commandline parameters are not recognized.
