feat(codex): convert installer from deprecated prompts to agentskills.io skills format

Codex CLI has deprecated custom prompts in favor of skills following the
agentskills.io specification. Updates the Codex installer to write
{name}/SKILL.md directories into .agents/skills/ instead of flat files
into .codex/prompts/. Removes CODEX_HOME requirement for project-scoped
installs since Codex auto-discovers .agents/skills/ directories.
