codex needs to be told where to make personal skills.

"Another note: I was in the 'beads' repo and tried to have it write a 'beads' skill. It seemed to get the job after one false start (it invoked brainstorming and was asking dumb questions, I made it invoke the skillbuilder). The results looked great! But it tried to add it to README.md instead of putting it int he right place."

I think I figured out the problem - it had workspace permissions only, so it tried to put them somewhere that it had permission to write, instead of telling me it needed permissions (or just trying, which would have escalated the request and been fine - but codex likes following rules, and tends to refuse to escalate requests when it's in the sandbox)

I had zero issue with this personally with the bootstrap script. codex did ask me for user permission to write to my ~/.codex/superpowers/skills/ directory.

The one issue I ran into was codex wanting to write to ~/.codex/commands/ when it should have been copying personal slash commands to ~/.codex/prompts/. Other than that, seamless conversion process.
