 - Agents/status: resolve `session_status(sessionKey="current")` for sparse channel-plugin sessions after literal current lookups miss, so Scope, Slack, Discord, and other plugin-driven agents avoid retrying through `Unknown sessionKey: current`. Fixes #74141. (#72306) Thanks @bittoby.
 - Cron: retry recurring wake-now main-session jobs through temporary heartbeat busy skips before recording success, so queued cron events no longer appear as ok ghost runs while the main lane is still busy. Fixes #75964. (#76083) Thanks @kshetrajna12 and @xuruiray.
 - Providers/Google: keep Gemini thinking-signature-only stream chunks active during reasoning, so Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview replies no longer hit idle timeouts before visible text. Fixes #76071. (#76080) Thanks @marcoschierhorn and @zhangguiping-xydt.
+- CLI/skills: show per-agent model and command visibility in `openclaw skills check --agent`, and let doctor report or disable unavailable skills allowed for the default agent. (#75983) Thanks @mbelinky.

@@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ Notes:
 - Doctor includes a memory-search readiness check and can recommend `openclaw configure --section model` when embedding credentials are missing.
 - Doctor warns when no command owner is configured. The command owner is the human operator account allowed to run owner-only commands and approve dangerous actions. DM pairing only lets someone talk to the bot; if you approved a sender before first-owner bootstrap existed, set `commands.ownerAllowFrom` explicitly.
 - Doctor warns when Codex-mode agents are configured and personal Codex CLI assets exist in the operator's Codex home. Local Codex app-server launches use isolated per-agent homes, so use `openclaw migrate codex --dry-run` to inventory assets that should be promoted deliberately.
+- Doctor warns when skills allowed for the default agent are unavailable in the current runtime environment because bins, env vars, config, or OS requirements are missing. `doctor --fix` can disable those unavailable skills with `skills.entries.<skill>.enabled=false`; install/configure the missing requirement instead when you want to keep the skill active.
 - If sandbox mode is enabled but Docker is unavailable, doctor reports a high-signal warning with remediation (`install Docker` or `openclaw config set agents.defaults.sandbox.mode off`).
 - If `gateway.auth.token`/`gateway.auth.password` are SecretRef-managed and unavailable in the current command path, doctor reports a read-only warning and does not write plaintext fallback credentials.
 - If channel SecretRef inspection fails in a fix path, doctor continues and reports a warning instead of exiting early.
