Optimize skill files for AI agent use with progressive disclosure
- Fix marketplace.json: add 2 missing skills (content-strategy, product-marketing-context) - Refactor 10 skills over 500 lines to use references/ folders: - email-sequence: 926 → 291 lines - social-content: 809 → 276 lines - competitor-alternatives: 750 → 253 lines - pricing-strategy: 712 → 226 lines - programmatic-seo: 628 → 235 lines - referral-program: 604 → 239 lines - schema-markup: 598 → 175 lines - free-tool-strategy: 576 → 176 lines - paywall-upgrade-cro: 572 → 224 lines - marketing-ideas: 566 → 165 lines Each skill now has core workflow in SKILL.md (<500 lines) with detailed content in references/ folder for progressive disclosure.
