Help the user diagnose an issue they're encountering in their current Amplifier session.
$ARGUMENTS
If no issue was described, read the session logs and summarize any errors, warnings, or notable issues.
Delegate to the session-analyst agent to investigate the current session. The session-analyst has specialized knowledge for safely analyzing large event logs (events.jsonl files can contain lines with 100k+ tokens that will crash other tools). Use the delegate tool to dispatch it with the issue description and any relevant context.
Check session configuration. Review the current session's configuration for common issues:
Session and project settings are typically at:
.amplifier/settings.yaml~/.amplifier/settings.yaml~/.amplifier/keys.envCheck for common patterns:
Explain what you found in plain language. Avoid jargon. Tell the user:
If the issue can't be diagnosed from logs alone, suggest the user:

Plan a batch of independent work into isolated lanes, get your approval, then run each lane as its own autonomous /goal session — one git worktree, one branch, one tmux session each — and verify and merge the results yourself. Use when work decomposes into pieces that can run at the same time: "run these in parallel", "goal-batch", "launch lanes for these", "work these N tasks simultaneously", "batch these as goals". Nothing launches until you have seen the lane split and said go. This is NOT fire-and-forget: the orchestrating session re-runs the full test suite itself after every merge and never accepts a lane's own claim that it finished. NOT for bounded edits that each end in their own PR — use mass-change for that. Requires git, tmux, the amplifier CLI on PATH, and the goalify and monitor skills.
development
Hard-won patterns for probing, building, troubleshooting, and iterating against Microsoft Graph API endpoints -- especially from a browser SPA using delegated MSAL.js auth calling Graph directly with no backend (lessons generalize to any Graph integration). Covers the throwaway-probe-file methodology for de-risking before building, OData/query quirks, permission and admin-consent sequencing, recordings/transcripts access patterns (SharePoint REST, not Graph), CSP requirements for a pure-browser SPA, retry/pagination/backoff patterns, and the MSAL/EasyAuth auth-redirect-loop debugging saga. Use when integrating with Microsoft Graph, Teams APIs, MSAL.js, or EasyAuth; when hitting an unexpected Graph error (400/403/429), a silent missing-scope failure, an auth redirect loop, or a CSP violation that only appears in production; or when deciding how to validate a new Graph capability before committing it to a codebase.
tools
Use when building an Amplifier-powered workflow or automation tool and deciding how to expose it — as standalone .dot attractor pipelines (incl. inside the Resolve dot-graph resolver), an importable Python lib, agent-callable tool modules, or a CLI. Covers the four leverage levels, the DRY rule that keeps logic in ONE home, the judgment for which levels a real consumer actually needs (and when adding a level is just ceremony), and the maximally-DRY attractor-only specialization where the .dot pipeline is the sole logic home.

Research and plan a large-scale change, then execute it in parallel across isolated agents that each open a PR.
