Internal: retire the status-workflow skills

[kaitlynmichael]

Remove /checkpoint, /standup, /startwork and the status-workflow
templates, added in #3692.

They were built around a local markdown hub — an OVERVIEW file plus one
plan file per project — that the skills read and wrote as the record of
current work. That design was the flaw: it duplicated state Jira
already held, so the two drifted, and most of the machinery in the
skills existed to reconcile a copy that had no reason to exist.

Jira is the source of truth now. I have rewritten these three locally
against that model — they read the live ticket, the branch, and the PR,
and keep no local record. The copies here are the July 27 originals, so
they still instruct an agent to read and write a hub that has been
retired.

No other file in the repo references them, and no remaining skill
depends on them.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only removal of unused Claude skill definitions; no runtime, auth, or published docs behavior changes.

Overview
Removes the internal Claude skills /checkpoint, /standup, and /startwork, plus the status-workflow shared docs (README, OVERVIEW.template.md, and example-project.md plan template) that were added in #3692.

Those skills assumed a private ~/claude-overview/ markdown hub (OVERVIEW + per-project plans) as the working record, with heavy logic to reconcile that copy against Jira, GitHub, calendar, and Slack. That hub model is retired in favor of Jira as source of truth; the author keeps rewritten local versions that read live tickets, branches, and PRs only.

Nothing else in the repo referenced these paths, so this is a straight deletion with no follow-up wiring changes.
