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
