`openclaw skills check --agent nope-agent` exited 0 and printed a full report
headed "Agent: nope-agent" with 53 skills / 44 eligible, while the install's only
real agent reported 57 / 48. It did not fall back to the default -- it fabricated
an agent and produced confident, different numbers for it. `skills list` behaved
the same way.
Every sibling --agent surface already rejects an unknown id: `models auth list`,
`models list`, `models status`, `memory status`, and `sessions list` all exit 1
with "Unknown agent id". Skills was the only holdout, and the canonical helper
for it already exists -- `resolveConfiguredAgentId`, added for this exact class
when `memory --agent` had the same hole.
`resolveSkillsWorkspace` took the explicit --agent value verbatim while both the
workspace-inferred and default paths were validated. Route the explicit value
through `resolveConfiguredAgentId` so the message and behavior match the
siblings, including the profile-aware hint, and reject a blank --agent the way
memory does. Workspace inference and default resolution are unchanged.
