fix(cli): install skills into project dir on non-interactive init (#1671)

`hyperframes init` only installed AI coding skills on the interactive path
(behind a clack confirm). When an agent drives it non-interactively (no TTY),
it just printed `npx skills add ...` and returned — so skills were never
installed and the agent later hit `Unknown skill: <workflow>`.

- init: both interactive and non-interactive branches now run
  `npx skills add` with `cwd` set to the new project dir so skills land
  there, not in the caller's working directory. Non-interactive additionally
  passes `--yes`; when Claude Code is driving (CLAUDECODE env var), adds
  `--agent claude-code` so skills target `.claude/skills/`.
- skills: `runSkillsAdd` accepts `cwd` and `extraArgs` so callers can
  control where and how skills are installed.
- templates: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md now tell agents to run
  `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes` to install or update skills.
