Add the agent-native features identified in research:
- `aad schema` — runtime introspection of all checks and their output schemas
- SKILL.md — co-located agent-discoverable capability definition
- `--fields` flag — limit response fields to protect agent context window
- Machine-parseable errors (error codes + structured JSON, not prose)
- No interactive input anywhere
