fix(send): convert - bullets to • for Slack, remove digest command

Slack mrkdwn renders - as a literal hyphen, not a bullet. Auto-convert
- and * list items to • (U+2022) for proper bullet rendering.

Remove digest command — extracted to triptechtravel/claude-skills repo
as a Claude Code skill that orchestrates slackbuzz, clickup, and gh CLIs.
