Add .cursor/rules/craftspace.mdc and codex/AGENTS.md carrying the standing rule that makes agents call list_skills before acting on company procedures. A benchmark showed a bare MCP connection pulls the matching skill only ~1/3 of the time; this pointer makes it reliable. The rules file is more robust than the SessionStart hook (Cursor hook is GUI-only/unverified, codex exec skips hooks) and never goes stale since it tells the agent to call list_skills. Implements the reliability core of abuaboud/craftspace#453.

Adds the native, always-on skills pointer for the two non-Claude-Code clients:
setups/cursor/rules/craftspace.mdc(Cursor auto-attached rule,alwaysApply: true)setups/codex/AGENTS.md(Codex reads AGENTS.md every run)Why: a benchmark (12 fresh agents, 3 fingerprinted skills) showed a bare MCP connection pulls the matching skill only ~1/3 of the time — agents look only when a task obviously smells like company policy — while the one-line "check list_skills first" pointer took it to 100%. The rules file is more robust than the SessionStart hook for this pointer: Cursor's hook is GUI-only/unverified and
codex execskips hooks, but the rules file is always in context. It never goes stale because it tells the agent to calllist_skillsrather than materializing a skill list.Implements the reliability core of abuaboud/craftspace#453. The optional per-skill visible-card materialization (and a sync CLI) remain deferred as abuaboud/craftspace#454, pending the scope decision.
