Problem
All genesis-scaffolded workflows (genesis-orchestrator.yml, genesis-evolver.yml, genesis-events.yml) use '--allowedTools Read,Edit,Bash,Glob,Grep,Agent' but omit 'Write'.
Project that hit this: Sayfan-AI/ronny-learns-ai
Evidence: The evolver agent attempted to use the Edit tool on .claude/agents/orchestrator.md and got 'Claude requested permissions to write to ... but you have not granted it yet' even though Edit(*) was in settings.json. Had to work around via Bash + Python to make file writes.
Impact: Agents cannot create new files using the Write tool. Workaround requires using Bash + Python/sed for all file writes, which is less readable and more error-prone.
Proposed Fix: Update the genesis workflow templates to include Write in --allowedTools:
claude_args: '--max-turns 20 --allowedTools Read,Edit,Write,Bash,Glob,Grep,Agent'
Apply to: genesis-orchestrator.yml, genesis-evolver.yml, genesis-events.yml. The fix has already been applied to ronny-learns-ai as a project-level fix.
