clanker-ops-unknown-agent-diagnosis

An 'Unknown agent' error in Clanker Ops task dispatch occurs when an agent exists in the CLANKER_ROSTER.md but is not registered as a pi subagent. This skill diagnoses the failure by verifying agent registration status and checking subagent availability.

To resolve unregistered pi subagent errors, you can manually register the agent, use intercom for session-based loading, or handle exceptions for human-only dispatch. This skill provides step-by-step verification and resolution paths for each option.

Verifying agent registration involves checking if the agent exists in the CLANKER_ROSTER.md and confirming its subagent status. This skill guides you through the verification steps and offers a dispatch test to confirm successful registration.

Yes, intercom for session-based loading is a valid resolution path for agent registration failures. This skill helps determine when to use intercom loading rather than manual registration to resolve task dispatch errors.

Handling exceptions for human-only dispatch is limited to scenarios where automated agent registration is not possible or desired. This skill identifies these edge cases and provides alternative resolution paths when standard subagent registration fails.

The clanker-ops-unknown-agent-diagnosis skill has no external dependencies. It operates by interacting directly with the CLANKER_ROSTER.md and the pi-subagents system to diagnose and resolve task dispatch errors.
