teknium1 1c9433897c chore(skills): standards sweep — bring 42 bundled/optional skills up to hardline
Audited all 191 in-repo skills (77 bundled, 114 optional) against the
authoring standards (AGENTS.md hardline + PR #80800). Fixed 42:

- 8 overlong descriptions rewritten to <= 60 chars, one sentence, period
  (one-three-one-rule 525ch, drug-discovery 405ch, web-pentest 358ch,
  fitness-nutrition 352ch, neuroskill-bci 332ch, oss-forensics 320ch,
  computer-use 307ch, memento-flashcards 252ch)
- 24 skills with missing frontmatter fields: author (credited from git
  history: f-trycua, SHL0MS, teyrebaz33, haileymarshall, FurkanL0,
  teknium1), license, version, platforms, tags
- 7 machine-local paths scrubbed (/home/bb, /home/user, /home/ubuntu ->
  portable placeholders)
- 11 marketing-word intros reworded (Comprehensive/state-of-the-art)
- docs catalogs + per-skill pages regenerated, scope-disciplined

Deferred (not in this PR):
- 14 frontmatter/dir name mismatches — open PR #42788 already proposes
  the dir-rename approach for 4 of them; resolve there as one class
- 2 skills over 100k chars (pytorch-fsdp 159k, research-paper-writing
  103k) — need content splits into references/, separate PRs
- comfyui dangling related_skill resolves after the name-mismatch class
