Changed because the best practice is to not use XML tags in frontmatter descriptions

Generally looks like a reasonable change, just two things:
- Did you try this locally with some other agent than claude too?
- Adding content to the description will add overall context if someone is using this full repo - but likely a good tradeoff

Background: how skills work (progressive disclosure)
Skills load context in three levels
SKILL.mdbody: loaded only once the agent decides the skill is relevant.Because the frontmatter
descriptionis the only part always in context, it must do the "when to use" work. A separate "Invoke This Skill When" section in the body just duplicated that info at level 2, polluting context without adding value.
