refactor: replace rigid imperatives with reasoning-based guidance

Audit all 32 SKILL.md files against Anthropic's skill-creator writing
guidance ("why > MUST" pattern). Replaces ALWAYS/NEVER/MUST/IMPORTANT
imperatives with explanations of WHY the guidance matters.

17 edits across 14 skills:
- ad-creative: character limits reasoning, CTA headline reasoning
- seo-audit: schema detection warning softened, reasoning added
- programmatic-seo: subfolder vs subdomain reasoning
- paid-ads: exclusion list reasoning
- copywriting: honesty principle reasoning
- cold-email: follow-up value reasoning
- ai-seo: freshness signal reasoning
- churn-prevention: post-cancel path reasoning
- product-marketing-context: verbatim language reasoning
- popup-cro: close button visibility reasoning
- signup-flow-cro: label visibility reasoning
- form-cro: label visibility reasoning
- revops: fallback owner reasoning
- ab-test-setup: DON'T → Avoid

### Microcopy
- Placeholder text: Use for examples, not labels
- Labels: Always visible (not just placeholders)
- Labels: Keep visible (not just placeholders) — placeholders disappear when typing, leaving users unsure what they're filling in
- Help text: Only when needed, placed close to field
