databricks aitools install

Install Databricks AI skills for detected coding agents.

By default, skills are installed globally to each agent's skills directory. Use --scope=project to install to the current project directory instead. When multiple agents are detected, skills are stored in a canonical location and symlinked to each agent to avoid duplication.
