Troubleshooting

Installation issues

Claude Code: skills don't appear in autocomplete

  1. Verify the plugin is installed: /plugin list
  2. Restart the Claude Code session (quit and relaunch the CLI or reload the VS Code extension)
  3. Check that the marketplace was added: /plugin marketplace list
  4. If using the legacy script, verify ~/.claude/skills/ contains the 9 skill directories (8 phases + using-digital-innovation-agents)

Cursor: plugin not recognized

  1. Check .cursor-plugin/plugin.json exists in the repo you installed from
  2. Restart Cursor
  3. Search for the plugin name in the Cursor plugin marketplace

Codex: skills not discovered

  1. Verify the symlink exists:
    bash
    ls -la ~/.agents/skills/digital-innovation-agents
  2. The symlink must point to ~/.codex/digital-innovation-agents/skills
  3. Restart Codex (quit and relaunch the CLI)
  4. On Windows, use mklink /J (directory junction) instead of a symlink

OpenCode: plugin not loading

  1. Check the plugin array in opencode.json:
    json
    { "plugin": ["digital-innovation-agents@git+https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git"] }
  2. Check logs:
    bash
    opencode run --print-logs "hello" 2>&1 | grep -i digital-innovation
  3. Make sure you're running a recent OpenCode version

Gemini CLI: extension not active

  1. List installed extensions: gemini extensions list
  2. If missing, reinstall:
    bash
    gemini extensions install https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents
  3. Verify GEMINI.md was loaded (check the first user message for the using-digital-innovation-agents content)

Runtime issues

SessionStart hook doesn't inject the bootstrap skill

  • Check the hook is executable: ls -la hooks/session-start (should show -rwxr-xr-x)
  • Check hooks/hooks.json exists and is valid JSON
  • On Windows, verify hooks/run-hook.cmd finds bash.exe (Git for Windows usually provides it at C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe)

The agent doesn't follow the workflow

This is by design. The workflow is advisory, not enforcing. If you want the agent to follow it, explicitly invoke /v-model-workflow or a specific phase skill. If you do not want the workflow, you can opt out at any point:

  • "stop" / "exit" / "I want to do something else": leaves the current loop
  • "ignore the V-Model today": disables the skills for the session
  • /plugin disable digital-innovation-agents: permanent disable

Artifacts aren't written to _devprocess/

Check that your project has a _devprocess/ directory. The /project-conventions skill creates it. If it doesn't exist, the skills fall back to asking you where to put the artifact, which slows the workflow.

Initialize manually:

bash
mkdir -p _devprocess/{analysis/security,requirements/{epics,features,handoff},architecture,context}
touch _devprocess/context/20_bugs.md _devprocess/context/30_handoffs.md
cp skills/requirements-engineering/templates/BACKLOG-TEMPLATE.md \
   _devprocess/context/10_backlog.md

Version mismatch

If you want the frozen v1.0.0 (Classic) release explicitly:

bash
./scripts/install-skills.sh --version v1.0.0

The v1.0.0 snapshot is not available through the plugin marketplace. It remains installable via the legacy script for historical reference or to reproduce v1 behavior.
