fix: make writing-for-agents model-invokable in Codex

The rename from writing-great-skills moved agents/openai.yaml without
updating it. Codex filters a skill out of the model-visible skills list
when policy.allow_implicit_invocation is false, so the description could
not trigger the skill — only an explicit $writing-for-agents mention.
Drop the policy block (implicit invocation defaults to true) and correct
the stale display_name and short_description. Move the skill into the
Model-invoked list in both READMEs, where the frontmatter already put it.

Closes mattpocock/skills#748

Make `writing-for-agents` model-invokable in Codex again.
- Drop `policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false` from `agents/openai.yaml`. Codex filtered the skill out of the model-visible skills list, so its description could not trigger it — only an explicit `$writing-for-agents` mention worked.
- Update the stale `interface.display_name` and `interface.short_description`, which still named the old `writing-great-skills` skill.
- Move the skill from the **User-invoked** list to the **Model-invoked** list in `README.md` and `skills/productivity/README.md`.
