…ster Completes the 'agent config that fails silently' family (hooklint=hooks, mcp-doctor=MCP servers, skill-doctor=skills, agent-doctor=subagents). A custom subagent (.claude/agents/<name>.md) with broken frontmatter just never shows up — no error, the agent silently isn't there. agent-doctor scans a .claude/agents dir (or a single .md) and flags: no frontmatter / no name / no description (won't register or route), name/filename mismatch, duplicate names, empty system-prompt body, and a malformed tools field. Conservative + honest — it does NOT validate individual tool names (the registry varies) or judge prompt quality. Exit 0/1/2; --json for CI. - single-file python3, stdlib only; test_agent-doctor.sh 24/24 green. - house-style README with the deemwar.com/contact CTA. MIT.

agent-doctor— find custom subagents that silently won't register#ossengine cycle 19 —
extend the family, additive, no owner gate. Completes the "agent config that fails silently" family.Why
A custom subagent (
.claude/agents/<name>.md) with broken frontmatter just never shows up — no error, the agent silently isn't there. This is the 4th and final member of the silent-failure family:hooklint(hooks) ·mcp-doctor(MCP servers) ·skill-doctor(skills) ·agent-doctor(subagents).What it does
Scans a
.claude/agentsdir (or a single.md) and flags:NO_FRONTMATTER/NO_NAME/NO_DESCRIPTION(HIGH) — won't register, or won't be routed to (the model selects subagents by description)NAME_MISMATCH/DUP_NAME(MED) — invocation confusion / collisionEMPTY_BODY(LOW) — no system-prompt bodyTOOLS_MALFORMED(LOW, heuristic) —toolsfield that won't parseExit
