Pull request overview

Changes:
- Replaced
help.github.comarticle links with the correspondingdocs.github.comURLs across guides and translations. - Updated GitHub product documentation references in
docs/content-model.md(help.github.com→docs.github.com,guides.github.com→skills.github.com). - Updated contributor guidance docs to use current docs URLs (e.g., inviting collaborators).
