Troubleshooting

Common issues and fixes for the agentic-workstation workstation.


dots-doctor reports failures

Failure Fix
Missing command (e.g., opencode) Install the tool manually, then re-run chezmoi apply
Missing directory Run chezmoi apply — it creates expected directories
Missing skill symlinks Run dots-skills sync to regenerate
NON-COMPLIANT status Fix all reported failures, then re-run dots-doctor

chezmoi prompts again on update

This is normal when new configuration questions are added upstream. Answer the prompts and re-apply:

chezmoi update
chezmoi apply --source=. -c ~/.config/chezmoi/agentic-workstation.toml

Skills not appearing in AI tool

  1. Check the skill is enabled: dots-skills list
  2. Regenerate symlinks: dots-skills sync
  3. Restart the AI tool (it loads skills at startup)

AI tool doesn't recognize agents

Agents are installed to tool-specific directories during chezmoi apply:

  • Claude Code: ~/.claude/agents/
  • OpenCode: ~/.config/opencode/agents/

Verify the files exist, then restart the tool.


WSL2 issues

Problem Fix
Install script hangs Ensure WSL2 is installed and a default distro is set
dots-* commands not found Open a new terminal after chezmoi apply
Permission errors Run inside WSL2 Ubuntu, not PowerShell

Uninstall

To remove the workstation baseline from your machine:

# Remove chezmoi-managed files
chezmoi purge

# Remove AI resources
rm -rf ~/.local/share/agentic-workstation
rm -rf ~/.local/bin/dots-*

# Remove skill symlinks
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/skills/
rm -rf ~/.cursor/skills/

# Remove agent definitions
rm -rf ~/.claude/agents/
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/agents/
