Fix skill invocation and make ask instruction more prominent

- Commands now say "Use the frontend-design skill" instead of passive note
- Skill's Design Thinking section now has explicit MUST-know checklist
- Added ask instruction to bolder command for context gathering
- AskUserQuestionTool instruction is now more prominent and imperative
