refactor(agent): consolidate skill definition into single SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter

Merge skill.yaml (metadata) and prompt.md (prompt template) into a
single SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter, matching the agent-skill
convention used by opencode and Claude Code.

- Add frontmatter parser (_parse_skill_file) to SkillRegistry
- Remove skill.yaml, prompt.md, empty skills/__init__.py
- Remove obsolete load_handler method
- Update tests for new format and cleaned-up fields
