refactor: make skill descriptions trigger-friendly per agent skills spec
Update all 27 skill descriptions to include both what the skill does
AND when to use it, following the agent skills specification guidance
that descriptions are the primary triggering mechanism. Descriptions
now explicitly list user intents that should activate each skill.
