Strip context gathering from frontend-design skill

Remove the MANDATORY: Context Gathering section since it never
works when the skill is invoked from commands. Context gathering
is now handled by the commands themselves (bolder, quieter,
colorize, animate, delight, simplify).

The skill is now leaner and focused on design principles and
anti-patterns, matching the original Anthropic skill structure.

This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.
## MANDATORY: Context Gathering (Do This First)
Before ANY design work, complete these steps in order:
### Step 1: Scan the codebase for context
Search for and read: README, brand guidelines, design tokens, existing components, style files, color variables.
### Step 2: Answer these questions (from codebase OR by asking user)
- Who is the target audience?
- What is the brand personality or tone?
- Are there existing design tokens, colors, or fonts to use?
### Step 3: If ANY question is unclear, STOP and ask
If you cannot confidently answer ALL three questions from the codebase, STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify. Do NOT proceed to design work until all three are answered. Guessing leads to generic AI slop.
