Clayton Young 98670bcf47 feat(skill): add timesfm-forecasting skill for time series forecasting
Add comprehensive TimesFM forecasting skill with mandatory system
preflight checks (RAM/GPU/disk), end-to-end CSV forecasting script,
full API reference, data preparation guide, and hardware requirements
documentation. Supports TimesFM 2.5 (200M), 2.0 (500M), and legacy
v1.0 with automatic batch size recommendations based on hardware.

"""End-to-end CSV forecasting with TimesFM.
Loads a CSV, runs the system preflight check, loads TimesFM, forecasts
the requested columns, and writes results to a new CSV or JSON.
Usage:
python forecast_csv.py input.csv --horizon 24
python forecast_csv.py input.csv --horizon 12 --date-col date --value-cols sales,revenue
python forecast_csv.py input.csv --horizon 52 --output forecasts.csv
python forecast_csv.py input.csv --horizon 30 --output forecasts.json --format json
The script automatically:
1. Runs the system preflight check (exits if it fails).
2. Loads TimesFM 2.5 from Hugging Face.
3. Reads the CSV and identifies time series columns.
4. Forecasts each series with prediction intervals.
5. Writes results to the specified output file.
