Improve skill cross-references for clarity and compliance

Update all skill references to use explicit requirement markers:
- REQUIRED BACKGROUND: For prerequisite understanding
- REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: For mandatory workflow dependencies
- Complementary skills: For optional but helpful related skills

Changes:
- Remove old path format (skills/collaboration/X → X)
- Add explicit "REQUIRED" markers to make dependencies clear
- Update Integration sections with categorized skill relationships
- Fix non-existent skill references
- Update cross-reference documentation in writing-skills

This makes it immediately clear which skills MUST be used vs optional references,
helping Claude understand and comply with skill dependencies.
