fix: replace multi-line eval+mkdir+echo blocks with atomic helpers

- Review log writes now use gstack-review-log (single command)
- Review dashboard reads now use gstack-review-read (single command)
- Remaining source+mkdir blocks use && chaining for variable persistence
- Regenerated all SKILL.md files
