Updated marketplace.json validation to skip plugins that don't have
a "skills" property (e.g., commands-only plugins). This fixes the CI
error where apify-actor-commands plugin was incorrectly flagged for
missing SKILL.md.

Changed instructions to specify both the tool name and model name in the generatedBy property (e.g., "Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 4.5") instead of just the model name. This helps Apify better monitor and improve documentation for specific AI tools and models.

Split the monolithic actors.md (1100+ lines) into 9 focused actor reference files in reference/actors/ directory, each named with full author/actor ID for clarity:
- compass-crawler-google-places.md
- vdrmota-contact-info-scraper.md
- apify-instagram-profile-scraper.md
- clockworks-tiktok-profile-scraper.md
- apify-facebook-pages-scraper.md
- apify-facebook-groups-scraper.md
- apify-google-search-scraper.md
- streamers-youtube-scraper.md
- poidata-google-maps-email-extractor.md
Updated SKILL.md to include indexed reference documentation with direct links to each actor file. Fixed actor ID format from tilde (~) to forward slash (/) notation throughout. Corrected google-maps-email-extractor author from apify to poidata.
This improves maintainability, navigation, and prevents naming conflicts between actors from different developers.
Expand the Real-World Examples section with TikTok, YouTube, partnership development, and CRM enrichment examples. This provides better coverage of the supported platforms and demonstrates additional lead generation scenarios.
