feat(plan-rollout): compress SKILL.md.tmpl further (204 → 179 lines)

Apply Anthropic skill-authoring guidance from their public docs:
"every line is a recurring token cost; if a competent reader wouldn't
miss it, remove it." State what to do, drop the why/narration. Trust
that the reader is Claude.

Cuts:
- "What this skill does/doesn't do" prose framing (replaced by terse
  bullets)
- Per-step rationale paragraphs ("These edges are how you order slices
  because...") → kept the rule, dropped the explanation
- Repeated "no slicing" hedging across multiple sections → one source
  of truth in the When-to-invoke section

Behavior unchanged. Generated SKILL.md drops 1011 → 897 lines (~10%
fewer tokens at every skill invocation).

You read a working diff (plus `SYSTEM.md` if present) and write
`decomposition.md`. You never write code, never split branches, never
run `/ship`. The output is the artifact and only the artifact.
Write `decomposition.md` describing how a real diff should ship as a
PR stack. Never code, never split branches, never run `/ship`.
## When to invoke
**Don't run** on diffs that are ≤1 component + ≤30 min reader time +
no hard edges — output one line ("This is one PR. No decomposition
needed.") and stop. False slicing is worse than no slicing.
Run when a diff already exists (committed or working tree). Don't run on
single-component, sub-30-min-reader-time diffs — produce the one-line
"this is one PR" verdict and stop. False slicing is worse than no slicing.
**Don't run** before code exists. Tell the user to write a real diff
first.
If invoked before any code has been written, stop and say so: nothing
to decompose, re-run against a real diff.
