format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree

963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

## Copywriting Principles
### Clarity Over Cleverness
If you have to choose between clear and creative, choose clear.
### Benefits Over Features
Features: What it does. Benefits: What that means for the customer.
### Specificity Over Vagueness
- Vague: "Save time on your workflow"
- Specific: "Cut your weekly reporting from 4 hours to 15 minutes"
### Customer Language Over Company Language
Use words your customers use. Mirror voice-of-customer from reviews, interviews, support tickets.
### One Idea Per Section
Each section should advance one argument. Build a logical flow down the page.

- "Tired of chasing approvals?"
### Use Analogies When Helpful
