Hello I do not know if this is possible or even makes sense.

So an initial setup including a smartcard is like this:

 - generate key pair
 - add sub keys - encrypt, sign, auth
 - move the private part of sub keys to smartcard
 - publish public key to keyserver
 - take the master key offline


I want to use the smartcard to initialize gpg on a different
computer:
 - plug in smartcard
 - fetch the public keys from keyserver
 - validate the public keys with the keys on smartcard
 - add the stubs for the smartcard keys to my keychain


Is there a tool like this?

H-
