Teknium 76042f5867 feat(review): class-first skill review prompt (#16026)
The background skill-review prompt (spawned after N user turns) now instructs
the reviewer to SURVEY existing skills first, identify the CLASS of task, and
PREFER updating/generalizing an existing skill over creating a new narrow one.

This reduces near-duplicate skill accumulation at the source. Catches the
common failure mode where repeated tasks of the same class each spawn their
own specific skill ("fix-my-tauri-error", "fix-my-electron-error") instead
of a single class-level skill ("desktop-app-build-troubleshooting").

Applied to both _SKILL_REVIEW_PROMPT and the **Skills** half of
_COMBINED_REVIEW_PROMPT. Memory-only review prompt unchanged.

Groundwork for the Curator feature (issue #7816) — the creation-side fix.
Curator handles the retirement/consolidation side in a follow-up PR.

Tests assert the behavioral instructions are present (survey, class, update-
over-create, overlap-flagging, opt-out clause) rather than snapshotting the
full prompt text.
