Adds a --skip-install flag to `agentcore create` that skips all dependency installation (npm install for CDK and uv sync for Python). This enables enterprise users behind corporate proxies or private registries to modify package.json/pyproject.toml before installing dependencies manually. The flag sets the existing AGENTCORE_SKIP_INSTALL env var (previously only used in tests) and also implies --skip-python-setup behavior. A post-create message instructs users to install manually.

Adds a
--skip-installflag toagentcore createthat skips all dependency installation (npm installfor the CDK project anduv syncfor Python agents). This enables enterprise users behind corporate proxies or private registries to modifypackage.jsonorpyproject.tomlbefore installing dependencies manually.The implementation promotes the existing internal
AGENTCORE_SKIP_INSTALLenv var (previously only used in test utilities) to a public CLI flag. When--skip-installis passed:npm installinagentcore/cdk/is skipped (viaCDKRenderer.ts)uv syncin the agent directory is skipped (viapython/setup.ts)Related Issue
