refactor: Remove research context from skill content

Cleaned up all skills to remove research/telemetry context that was used
during design but is not needed at runtime when AI agents use the skills.

## Changes Made

### Pattern 1: Research Framing Removed
- "From analysis of X workflows/events" → Removed
- "From telemetry analysis:" → Replaced with operational context
- "Based on X real workflows" → Simplified to general statements

### Pattern 2: Popularity Metrics Removed
- "**Popularity**: Second most common (892 templates)" → Removed entirely
- "813 searches", "456 templates", etc. → Removed

### Pattern 3: Frequency Percentages Converted
- "**Frequency**: 45% of errors" → "Most common error"
- "**Frequency**: 28%" → "Second most common"
- "**Frequency**: 12%" → "Common error"
- Percentages in tables → Priority levels (Highest/High/Medium/Low)

### Pattern 4: Operational Guidance Kept
-  Success rates (91.7%) - helps tool selection
-  Average times (18s, 56s) - sets expectations
-  Relative priority (most common, typical) - guides decisions
-  Iteration counts (2-3 cycles) - manages expectations

## Files Modified (19 files across 4 skills)

**Skill #2: MCP Tools Expert (5 files)**
- Removed telemetry occurrence counts
- Kept success rates and average times

**Skill #3: Workflow Patterns (7 files)**
- Removed all popularity metrics from pattern files
- Removed "From analysis of 31,917 workflows"
- Removed template counts

**Skill #4: Validation Expert (4 files)**
- Converted frequency % to priority levels
- Removed "From analysis of 19,113 errors"
- Removed telemetry loop counts (kept iteration guidance)

**Skill #5: Node Configuration (3 files)**
- Removed workflow update counts
- Removed essentials call counts
- Kept success rates and timing guidance

## Result

Skills now provide clean, focused runtime guidance without research
justification. Content is more actionable for AI agents using the skills.

All technical guidance, examples, patterns, and operational metrics preserved.
Only removed: research methodology, data source attribution, and statistical
justification for design decisions.
