feat(cli): add skill tools and refresh commands

Browse Source 
Implemented agents skill refresh command to recompute tool flattening and sync
MCP-backed skills. Enhanced skill list/show/tools outputs with capability
summary fields.

- agents skill refresh <name>|--all to recompute flattening
- Enhanced skill list/show/tools with capability summary and tool counts
- Added --format json/yaml schemas for refresh output
- CLI errors for nonexistent skills and MCP sync failures
- Behave tests (skill_cli.feature), Robot tests (skill_cli.robot)
- ASV benchmarks (skill_cli_bench.py) for CLI overhead baseline
- Updated docs/reference/skill_cli.md with refresh command examples
- Documented refresh side effects and caching behavior

## Unreleased
- Added `agents skill refresh <name>|--all` command to recompute tool flattening and sync
MCP-backed skills. Enhanced `skill list`, `skill show`, and `skill tools` outputs with
capability summary fields, tool counts, and description columns. Added `--format json/yaml`
schemas for refresh output. Updated CLI reference documentation with refresh examples and
caching behavior. (#167)
- Added token/cost tracking, budget enforcement (per-plan and per-day), provider fallback
selection with capability filtering, and cost metadata for plan execution. New config keys
`budget_per_plan`, `budget_per_day`, and `fallback_providers` control spending limits and

## `agents skill refresh`
Recompute tool flattening and synchronize MCP-backed skills with their servers. This command triggers:
1. **Tool flattening recomputation** — Re-runs the resolution algorithm to pick up changes in included skills
2. **Agent Skills discovery** — Re-scans configured Agent Skills paths for new or updated folders
3. **MCP server sync** (when MCP adapter is available) — Re-enumerates tools from MCP servers
```bash
agents skill refresh <NAME> [--format <FORMAT>]
agents skill refresh --all [--format <FORMAT>]
```
### Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `NAME` | Namespaced name of the skill to refresh (mutually exclusive with `--all`) |
### Options
| Flag | Short | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| `--all` | | Refresh all registered skills |
| `--format` | `-f` | Output format (default: `rich`) |
### Examples
```bash
# Refresh a single skill
agents skill refresh local/devops-toolkit
# Refresh all skills
agents skill refresh --all
# Refresh with JSON output
agents skill refresh local/linear-tracker --format json
```
### Rich Output
For a single skill, prints a **Skill Refreshed** panel showing:
- Name
- Total tools (flattened count)
- Number of includes
- MCP servers count and sync status
- Agent Skills count
- Capability summary (read-only, writes, checkpointable)
For multiple skills (`--all`), prints a table with:
- Name
- Tools count
- Includes count
- MCP count
- Status (✓ or ✗)
Followed by an error panel if any skills failed to refresh.
### JSON/YAML Output
Structured output includes:
- `refreshed` — Number of skills processed
- `agent_skills_refreshed` — Boolean indicating if Agent Skills discovery ran
- `skills` — Array of refresh results with capability summaries
- `errors` — Array of error messages (if any)
### Error Handling
- **Skill not found**: Prints error and aborts (single skill mode)
- **MCP sync failure**: Skill is marked with error status but command continues
- **Missing arguments**: Requires either `<NAME>` or `--all`
- **Conflicting arguments**: Cannot specify both `<NAME>` and `--all`
### Refresh Side Effects
**Tool Flattening Cache:**
- The flattening algorithm is deterministic and stateless
- Each `refresh` call recomputes the full tool set from scratch
- No persistent cache is maintained — results are computed on-demand
**Agent Skills Discovery:**
- Re-scans directories configured in `skills.agent_skills_paths`
- Discovers new `.agent-skill/` folders or updated metadata
- Tools are registered in the in-memory Tool Registry
- Previous Agent Skills tool registrations are **not** automatically removed
**MCP Server Synchronization:**
- When MCP adapter integration is available, `refresh` re-enumerates tools from active MCP servers
- Picks up new tools added since skill registration
- Removes tools that are no longer exposed by the server
- Does **not** restart MCP server processes — only queries current tool list
**Recommended Use Cases:**
- After adding/removing includes in a skill's YAML config
- After adding new Agent Skills folders to discovery paths
- After MCP server tool updates (e.g., plugin upgrades)
- Before critical plan execution to ensure tool set is current
