docs: trim skill READMEs and ADR/changelog narration

Two related simplification-audit findings, bundled because they edit
some of the same skill-audit files and splitting would fragment
single-file diffs.

Finding 10: delete 48 per-skill/reference README.md files (they
restated SKILL.md in narrative form and no agent ever loads them) plus
2 scaffold templates. Drop the README criterion from skill-audit's
file-structure.md and finding-criteria.md, and the README-generation
step from skill-author's new-skill.sh; update new-skill.bats to match.
Plugin-root READMEs are kept intentionally, out of scope.

Finding 12: strip historical ADR-0020/ADR-0023 citations and
changelog-style narration from model-facing skill content across
kyberforge and git plugin skills. Delete skill-author's one-time
retrofit.md migration guide and its references. Some ADR-0023 tags
were not narration but check-rtk-prefix's required opt-out marker for
intentionally-bare git commands -- those were restored, not stripped.

Mirror re-synced and full pre-commit/pre-push suite verified green.

# caveman
Ultra-compressed output mode: drop articles, filler and pleasantries, keep the technical substance exact.
## What it does
Switches the agent into a terse register — no articles, no hedging, no pleasantries, fragments allowed, arrows for causality — while leaving technical terms, code blocks and quoted error strings untouched. The mode is *sticky*: once turned on it stays on for every subsequent response until the user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode", rather than decaying back to normal prose after a few turns.
It carries one built-in escape hatch. Security warnings, confirmations for irreversible actions, multi-step sequences where fragment order could be misread, and any request to clarify are answered in normal prose, then the compressed register resumes.
## Hand-invoked only
`SKILL.md` sets `disable-model-invocation: true`. This is the single most important thing to know about this skill: **the model cannot route to it.** No other skill can hand off to it, and no phrasing in a user's request will cause it to be selected automatically. The only way in is the human typing `/caveman`.
That is deliberate — output style is the user's choice, not an inference the router should make on their behalf. It is also why the description reads as one plain human-facing sentence rather than carrying the trigger phrasing and boundary clause a routable skill needs.
## Usage
```text
/caveman
```
Then keep working normally. To leave the mode, say "stop caveman" or "normal mode".
