Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the custom agent X scenario described in the issue: give it a tools specification, reference skills in its instructions, and run it as a subagent of an orchestrator agent. Compare how the subagent interprets tools and skills; done means it no longer reports that referenced skills are unavailable when tools were specified.
