fix: unify scraper argument interface and fix create command forwarding

All scrapers (scrape, github, analyze, pdf) now share a common argument contract via add_all_standard_arguments() in arguments/common.py. Universal flags (--dry-run, --verbose, --quiet, --name, --description, workflow args) work consistently across all source types. Previously, `create <url> --dry-run`, `create owner/repo --dry-run`, and `create ./path --dry-run` would crash because sub-scrapers didn't accept those flags. Also fixes main.py _handle_analyze_command() not forwarding --dry-run, --preset, --quiet, --name, --description to codebase_scraper. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+## [3.1.2] - 2026-02-23
+
+### 🔧 Fix `create` Command Argument Forwarding & Unify Scraper Interface
+
+### Fixed
+- **`create` command argument forwarding** — Universal flags (`--dry-run`, `--verbose`, `--quiet`, `--name`, `--description`) now work correctly across all source types. Previously, `create <url> -p quick --dry-run`, `create owner/repo --dry-run`, and `create ./path --dry-run` would crash because sub-scrapers didn't accept those flags
+- **`skill-seekers analyze --dry-run`** — Fixed `_handle_analyze_command()` in `main.py` not forwarding `--dry-run`, `--preset`, `--quiet`, `--name`, `--description`, `--api-key`, and workflow flags to codebase_scraper
+
+### Added
+- **Shared argument contract** — New `add_all_standard_arguments(parser)` in `arguments/common.py` registers common + behavior + workflow args on any parser as a single call
+- **`BEHAVIOR_ARGUMENTS`** — Centralized `--dry-run`, `--verbose`, `--quiet` definitions in `arguments/common.py`
+- **`--dry-run` for GitHub scraper** — `skill-seekers github --repo owner/repo --dry-run` now previews the operation
+- **`--dry-run` for PDF scraper** — `skill-seekers pdf --name test --dry-run` now previews the operation
+- **`--verbose`/`--quiet` for GitHub and PDF scrapers** — Logging level control now works consistently across all scrapers
+- **`--name`/`--description` for codebase analyzer** — Custom skill name and description can now be passed to `skill-seekers analyze`
+
+### Changed
+- **Argument deduplication** — Removed duplicated argument definitions from `arguments/github.py`, `arguments/scrape.py`, `arguments/analyze.py`, `arguments/pdf.py`; all now import shared args from `arguments/common.py`
+- **`create` command `_add_common_args()`** — Only forwards truly universal flags; route-specific flags (`--preset`, `--config`, `--chunk-for-rag`, etc.) moved to their respective route methods
+- **`codebase_scraper.py` argparser** — Replaced ~190 lines of inline argparser with `add_analyze_arguments(parser)` call
