Kieran Klaassen 4b0f058f2c refactor: Reduce core to 4 commands, extract workflow-automation and plugin-dev plugins
Based on PR feedback that 14 commands in core was too many:

- **compound-engineering-core** (14 agents, 4 commands, 5 skills)
  - Only 4 workflow commands: /workflows:plan, /workflows:review, /workflows:work, /workflows:compound
  - All code review agents stay in core (referenced by /workflows:review)

- **workflow-automation** (3 agents, 7 commands, 1 skill) - NEW
  - /resolve_pr_parallel, /plan_review, /resolve_parallel, /resolve_todo_parallel
  - /reproduce-bug, /triage, /changelog
  - bug-reproduction-validator, pr-comment-resolver, every-style-editor agents

- **plugin-dev** (3 commands, 2 skills) - NEW
  - /generate_command, /heal-skill, /create-agent-skill
  - skill-creator, create-agent-skills skills

All READMEs updated with "Works Best With" philosophy emphasizing that
core provides the foundation but real power comes from combining plugins.
