sickn33 fc3c7ae8a2 meta(skills): Add skill audit and safe metadata fixes
Add repo-wide auditing and targeted repair scripts for skill metadata.
Fix truncated descriptions automatically, keep heading normalization
conservative, and remove synthetic boilerplate sections that degrade
editorial quality while regenerating repo indexes and catalogs.

Fixes #365

# Async Python Patterns
Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems.
## Use this skill when
- Building async web APIs (FastAPI, aiohttp, Sanic)
- Implementing concurrent I/O operations (database, file, network)
- Creating web scrapers with concurrent requests
- Developing real-time applications (WebSocket servers, chat systems)
- Processing multiple independent tasks simultaneously
- Building microservices with async communication
- Optimizing I/O-bound workloads
- Implementing async background tasks and queues
## Do not use this skill when
- The workload is CPU-bound with minimal I/O.
- A simple synchronous script is sufficient.
- The runtime environment cannot support asyncio/event loop usage.
## Instructions
- Clarify workload characteristics (I/O vs CPU), targets, and runtime constraints.
- Pick concurrency patterns (tasks, gather, queues, pools) with cancellation rules.
- Add timeouts, backpressure, and structured error handling.
- Include testing and debugging guidance for async code paths.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
Refer to `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
