Remove openai codex hooks - the UX is bad and codex is good about triggering

Condense the injected bootstrap without dropping behavior-shaping content:
replace the graphviz flowchart with prose (1% rule, plan-mode->brainstorm gate,
announce + checklist->todos), fold Instruction-Priority into User Instructions,
and drop the per-platform skill-loading section. Keep the full Red Flags
rationalization table (all 12), the platform tool-mapping pointer (now a
skill-relative path list), skill priority framed as a category (process before
implementation, not just the two named skills), and user-instruction precedence
plus the WHAT/HOW guard.

Snapshot on a local branch for review — NOT final, NOT for dev. Open items:
the dropped "Skill Types" (rigid/flexible) section, and evals for user
preferences overriding skills. Clean Docker evals show the more-aggressive
g-minimal preserves load-bearing triggering across opus/sonnet/haiku/codex/
gemini/kimi; this variant keeps more content.

-## Invoking a skill — read its `SKILL.md`
-
-Antigravity surfaces every installed skill's `name` + `description` to you at the
-start of each session, but it has **no `Skill`/`activate_skill` tool**. To load a
-skill, **read its `SKILL.md` with `view_file`, setting `IsSkillFile: true`** when
-the skill applies — e.g. `view_file` on
-`.../plugins/superpowers/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` with `IsSkillFile: true`.
-(`IsSkillFile` is agy's own signal that you're reading a file to *execute its
-instructions*, not to edit or preview it — set it whenever you load a skill.)
-
-This is the blessed skill-loading mechanism on this harness. The general rule
-"never read skill files manually" means "don't bypass your platform's
-skill-loading mechanism" — and on Antigravity, reading `SKILL.md` *is* that
-mechanism. Reading it honors the rule rather than breaking it.
-
-You already know which skills exist and what they're for: their names and
-descriptions are in front of you at session start. When a description matches
-what you're about to do, read that skill's `SKILL.md` before acting.
-
-## Subagent support
-
-Antigravity dispatches subagents with `invoke_subagent`, passing each one a
-`TypeName` in the `Subagents` array. Two `TypeName`s are **built in** — use them
-directly, no `define_subagent` needed:
-
-- **`self`** — a full clone of you, with every tool you have (including
-  `write_to_file`/`replace_file_content`/`run_command`). The safe default for
-  general-purpose work: implementing, fixing, anything that edits files or runs
-  commands.
-- **`research`** — read-only (file reading, `grep_search`, web/URL fetch; no write
-  or command access). Use it when you specifically want a subagent that can't make
-  changes — investigation and read-only review.
-
-Call `define_subagent` only for a custom system prompt or capability mix: set
-`enable_write_tools: true` to grant file edits **and** `run_command`,
-`enable_subagent_tools` for nested dispatch, `enable_mcp_tools` for MCP. Then
-invoke it by the name you gave it. (`manage_subagents` lists/kills running
-subagents.)
-
-Skills dispatch with `Subagent (general-purpose):` and either reference a
-prompt-template file (e.g. `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`'s
-`./implementer-prompt.md`) or supply an inline prompt. On Antigravity:
-
-| Skill dispatch form | Antigravity equivalent |
-|---------------------|----------------------|
-| An implementer-style `*-prompt.md` template (writes code, runs tests) | Fill the template, then `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "self"` and the filled prompt |
-| A read-only reviewer template (`task-reviewer`, `code-reviewer`, `requesting-code-review`'s `./code-reviewer.md`) | `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "research"` and the filled review template |
-| Inline prompt (no template referenced) | `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "self"` (or `"research"` if the task only reads) and your inline prompt |

-`[FULL TEXT of task]`. Fill all placeholders before passing the complete prompt to

-|----------------------|------------------|
-| Read a file | `Read` |

-| Edit a file | `Edit` |
-| Run a shell command | `Bash` |
-| Search file contents | `Grep` |

-| Background-process / subagent lifecycle (read output, cancel) | `TaskOutput`, `TaskStop` — these are distinct from the todo tools above and apply to running shells, agents, and remote sessions |
-
-## Instructions file
-
-When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Claude Code this is **`CLAUDE.md`**. Claude Code walks up the directory tree from the current working directory and concatenates every `CLAUDE.md` and `CLAUDE.local.md` it finds along the way. Standard locations:
-
-| Scope | Location |
-|-------|----------|
-| Project (team-shared) | `./CLAUDE.md` or `./.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
-| User global | `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
-| Local-private (gitignored) | `./CLAUDE.local.md` |
-| Managed policy (org-wide) | `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/CLAUDE.md` (macOS), `/etc/claude-code/CLAUDE.md` (Linux/WSL), `C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\CLAUDE.md` (Windows) |
-
-CLAUDE.md files can pull in additional content with `@path/to/file` imports (relative or absolute, max five hops deep). Subdirectory `CLAUDE.md` files are also discovered automatically and loaded on-demand when Claude Code reads files in those subdirectories.
-
-Claude Code does **not** read `AGENTS.md` directly. If a project already maintains `AGENTS.md` for other agents, import it from `CLAUDE.md` so both runtimes share the same instructions:
-
-```markdown
-@AGENTS.md
-
-## Claude Code
-
-(Claude-Code-specific instructions go here.)
-```
-
-For path-scoped rules and larger-project organization, see `.claude/rules/` (rules can be scoped to specific files via `paths` frontmatter and load on demand).
-
-## Personal skills directory
-
-User-level skills live at **`~/.claude/skills/`**. Each skill is a subdirectory containing a `SKILL.md` (with `name` and `description` frontmatter) plus any supporting files. Claude Code does not currently recognize the cross-runtime `~/.agents/skills/` path that Codex, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI read; if you're relying on cross-runtime support in the future, verify against the [official skills docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills).

-## Instructions file
-
-When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Gemini CLI this is **`GEMINI.md`**. Gemini CLI loads `GEMINI.md` hierarchically: global at `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`, project-level files in workspace directories and their ancestors, and sub-directory `GEMINI.md` files when a tool accesses files in those directories.
-
-## Personal skills directory
-
-User-level skills live at **`~/.gemini/skills/`**, with **`~/.agents/skills/`** as a cross-runtime alias (shared with Codex and Copilot CLI). When both directories exist at the same scope, `.agents/skills/` takes precedence. Each skill is a subdirectory containing a `SKILL.md` (with `name` and `description` frontmatter).
-
-## Subagent support
-
-Gemini CLI dispatches subagents through the `invoke_agent` tool, which takes `agent_name` and `prompt` parameters. The same dispatch is also surfaced as a chat-syntax shortcut: typing `@generalist <prompt>` is equivalent to calling `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"`. Built-in agent names include `generalist`, `cli_help`, `codebase_investigator`, and (with browser tooling enabled) `browser_agent`.
-
-Skills dispatch with `Subagent (general-purpose):` and either reference a prompt-template file (e.g., `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`'s `./implementer-prompt.md`) or supply an inline prompt. On Gemini CLI:
-

-
-### Prompt filling

The prompt template itself contains the agent's role, review criteria, and expected output format — the subagent will follow it.
-
-### Parallel dispatch
-
-Gemini CLI supports parallel subagent dispatch. Issue multiple `invoke_agent` calls in the same response (or multiple `@generalist` invocations in one prompt) to run independent subagent work in parallel. Keep dependent tasks sequential, but do not serialize independent subagent tasks just to preserve a simpler history.

-| `ask_user` | Pose structured questions to the user (text / single-select / multi-select) |
-| `enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode` | Switch into and out of read-only plan mode |
-| `update_topic` | Update the current conversation's topic / strategic-intent metadata |
-| `complete_task` | Signal that a Gemini subagent has completed and return its result to the parent agent |
-| `tracker_create_task`, `tracker_update_task`, `tracker_get_task`, `tracker_list_tasks`, `tracker_add_dependency`, `tracker_visualize` | Rich task tracker with dependency and visualization support |

-## Skills
-
-Pi discovers skills from configured skill directories and installed Pi packages. A Superpowers Pi package should expose `skills/` through its `pi.skills` manifest entry. Pi does not expose Claude Code's `Skill` tool, but the agent should still follow the Superpowers rule: when a skill applies, load and follow it before responding.
-
 ## Subagents
 
 Pi core does not ship a standard subagent tool. The `pi-subagents` package is a strong optional companion and provides a `subagent` tool with single-agent, chain, parallel, async, forked-context, and resume/status workflows. If no subagent tool is available, do not fabricate `Task` calls; execute sequentially in the current session or explain that the optional subagent capability is not installed.
