update skill-creator: add 1024-char hard limit to description field

Browse Source 
Adds an explicit constraint to the description authoring guidance: the
description field must be at most 1024 characters (measured on the rendered
string, not YAML lines). Includes a reminder to always verify length before
finalising a new or updated skill.

Based on the user interview, fill in these components:
- **name**: Skill identifier
- **description**: When to trigger, what it does. This is the primary triggering mechanism - include both what the skill does AND specific contexts for when to use it. All "when to use" info goes here, not in the body. Note: currently Claude has a tendency to "undertrigger" skills -- to not use them when they'd be useful. To combat this, please make the skill descriptions a little bit "pushy". So for instance, instead of "How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data.", you might write "How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions dashboards, data visualization, internal metrics, or wants to display any kind of company data, even if they don't explicitly ask for a 'dashboard.'"
