refactor: split emergent-patterns into focused problem-solving skills

**Restructure:**
- Split detecting-emergent-patterns (216 lines) into 5 focused skills (~60 lines each)
- Move tracing-lineages to skills/research/ (better category fit)
- Create skills/problem-solving/ category

**New problem-solving skills:**
- simplification-cascades: Find one insight that eliminates multiple components
- collision-zone-thinking: Force unrelated concepts together for breakthroughs
- meta-pattern-recognition: Spot patterns in 3+ domains
- inversion-exercise: Flip assumptions to reveal alternatives
- scale-game: Test at extremes to find fundamental limits
- when-stuck: Dispatch skill that maps stuck-symptoms to techniques

**Improvements:**
- Symptom-based when_to_use (what you'd actually think/feel)
- Quick reference tables for rapid scanning
- Pattern-based triggers (not exact phrase matching)
- Cross-references from brainstorming for discoverability

Each skill now: scannable in 30 seconds, applicable immediately, focused on one technique.

name: Preserving Productive Tensions
description: Recognize when disagreements reveal valuable context, preserve multiple valid approaches instead of forcing premature resolution
when_to_use: When multiple approaches have legitimate trade-offs. When stakeholders have conflicting valid priorities. When context determines which approach is better. During design when you're tempted to ask "which is best?" but both are good. When tensions reveal flexibility needs.
when_to_use: Going back and forth between options. Both approaches seem equally good. Keep changing your mind. About to ask "which is better?" but sense both optimize for different things. Stakeholders want conflicting things (both valid).
version: 1.0.0
