Add policy lookup skill for benefit/tax amount questions#62
Conversation
New skill triggers on factual policy questions ("what is the TANF benefit",
"how much SNAP does someone get", "max benefit amount") that previously
fell through to web search. Teaches the simulation-based approach: create
a household, calculate the variable, get the answer from PolicyEngine.

The existing
policyengine-us-skillis about building simulations for analysis. This skill is about answering factual questions — different intent, different trigger words, different patterns. Keeping them separate avoids bloating the calculation skill.What the skill covers
