docs: clarify Cowork vs Claude Code settings file location (#124)
The READMEs instructed users to place settings files in 'your project's .claude/ directory' — but Cowork has no project concept. Its .claude/ is ephemeral per-session app storage in ~/Library/Application Support/ that users can't practically access. Cowork users should instead place settings files in any folder shared with Cowork via the folder picker. The skill implementations already search freely with no hardcoded path, so this is purely a docs fix. Reported via Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCowork/comments/1rh875p/
