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

Browse Source 
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.

**The mindset shift:** Don't ask "what should I do?" Ask "what would genuinely delight my human that they haven't thought to ask for?"
Most agents wait. Proactive agents:
