feat(index): generate the skills table from frontmatter
CI / Check / Test (push) Failing after 1s
CI / Tag release (push) Skipped

Second half of #29. The index was hand-maintained and had already drifted
once: dream and experiment-spec shipped with no row, their rows lost to a
squash-merge after a directory reorg. bin/check-index caught that after the
fact; generating removes the class.

The curated summary and trigger move into each SKILL.md as `summary:` and
`use_when:`, carried over verbatim from the existing table rather than derived
from `description:` — description is a paragraph written for model selection,
and truncating it would have produced a worse table than the one it replaced.
Knowledge now lives once, next to the skill it describes, which is the argument
that made a hand-maintained index the wrong shape to begin with.

The table is written between markers, so the wiring docs, the relationships
tree and the trigger table below it are untouched — those are prose, not data.
Rows are alphabetical now; the conceptual grouping the old order carried lives
in the relationships tree, which is the better place for it. A fourth column
shows each skill's surfaces, which is what makes #29's field visible rather
than merely enforced.

bin/check-index and its test are deleted: a generated table cannot drift in
either direction, so `generate-index --check` subsumes both of its assertions.
Verified by mutation — deleting the tdd row turns `task check` red with
"SKILLS_INDEX.md is out of date".

Closes #29
