Fix skill descriptions: remove workflow summaries that override flowcharts

Testing revealed that descriptions summarizing workflow cause Claude to
follow the description instead of reading the skill body. Changed all
descriptions to "when to use" triggers only:

- dispatching-parallel-agents: 2+ independent tasks without shared state
- executing-plans: have a written plan to execute with review checkpoints
- requesting-code-review: completing tasks, features, or before merging
- systematic-debugging: encountering bugs before proposing fixes
- test-driven-development: implementing features before writing code
- writing-plans: have spec/requirements for multi-step task before coding
- writing-skills: updated with "description trap" documentation

The description trap: workflow summaries in descriptions create shortcuts
Claude takes, skipping the skill body entirely.
