Error "clear codex skills dir: %w" thrown in multica-ai/multica.

// The skills directory is wiped first so two stale-state classes that the
// Reuse path would otherwise leak are gone:
//
//   - A name now claimed by a workspace skill that previously held only a
//     user-seeded copy — support files from the user version would otherwise
//     linger under the workspace skill's directory.
//   - A user skill removed from the shared ~/.codex/skills/ since the last
//     run — its old contents would otherwise remain visible to the codex
//     CLI.
//
// Codex is the only runtime that needs this two-stage hydration because the
// daemon sets CODEX_HOME to a per-task directory, isolating the CLI from the
// user's real ~/.codex/. Other runtimes leave HOME untouched and discover
// user-level skills natively (see context.go for the workdir-local paths
// they use for workspace skills).
