feat(claude): Add Claude command templates

This commit introduces a set of standardized templates for common software engineering tasks to be used with Claude. These templates aim to streamline workflows and ensure consistent, high-quality outputs for tasks like code explanation, code review, refactoring, and implementation planning.

The new command templates are:
- `code-explainer.md`: To explain code at a high level, detailing its function, data flow, dependencies, and potential risks.
- `code-review.md`: To provide structured, actionable feedback on a pull request, covering correctness, style, security, and performance.
- `file-cleaner.md`: To improve the readability of a source file without altering its behavior, focusing on naming, comments, and formatting.
- `implement-it.md`: To translate a user story or ticket into a detailed implementation plan, including architecture, code skeletons, and tests.
- `refactor.md`: To guide the refactoring of legacy code towards a specific goal, emphasizing safety through tests and incremental changes.
- `task-creator.md`: To break down a feature specification into smaller, sprint-ready engineering tasks.
- `test-writer.md`: To generate thorough tests for a function or module, covering unit, integration, and property-based testing.

Use this template to improve readability of a single source file without changing behavior.
## INPUTS
- Code - the code to clean up
- (optional) File path
## INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep behavior identical. Avoid semantic changes.
2. Rename unclear variables and functions to intent-revealing names.
3. Remove redundant or noisy comments. Keep value-adding docs.
4. Add comments where logic is non-obvious (why > what).
5. Reformat for consistency per project standards.
6. Ensure lints and static analysis pass.
7. Surface any low-risk micro-optimizations as suggestions, not changes.
8. Keep lines ≤80 chars.
## OUTPUT FORMAT
### Summary
- **What improved:**
- **Risks:**
### Cleaned file
```
// full revised file
```
### Diff (for review)
```diff
- old
+ new
```
### Naming changes

### Lint & style
- **Tools used** (e.g., language-specific linters, formatters):
- **Rules touched:**
### Notes for follow-up (optional)
- **Larger refactors that were out of scope:**
- **Test additions recommended:**
