Rename Questions to Ask -> Task-Specific Questions

ce02e31251 Rename Questions to Ask -> Task-Specific Questions, remove redundant questions
Since product-marketing-context now captures foundational info (product, audience,
competitors, voice), removed redundant questions from these sections and renamed
them to clarify they are for task-specific context only.

Removed redundant questions from:
- competitor-alternatives (competitors, differentiator)
- copy-editing (audience, brand voice)
- email-sequence (audience)
- free-tool-strategy (product, audience problems)
- marketing-ideas (product, target customer)

Renamed section in all 23 skills with this pattern.

5dc1e7b97b Fix marketing-ideas numbering to be sequential
The ideas were reorganized from an ebook but kept their original numbers,
resulting in out-of-order numbering (3, 7, 39, 40...). Now renumbered 1-139
based on current order in the file.

Also updated:
- Description and header from 140 to 139 (actual count)
- Related Skills references to correct new numbers

f58dba09c8 Add product-marketing-context skill and update all skills to reference it
Users repeat the same foundational questions (product, audience, competitors,
voice) across 24 skills. This adds a centralized context document that other
skills can reference.

New skill:
- product-marketing-context: Creates .claude/product-marketing-context.md
- Covers 12 sections based on positioning canvas framework
- Can auto-draft V1 from codebase or gather info conversationally

Updated all 24 existing skills to check for product marketing context first,
reducing repetitive questions when context already exists.
