feat(implement-issue): make child agent dispatch agent-agnostic

- Add formal arg syntax: --agent, --base, --force
- Add process-tree detection scripts (Linux / macOS) to auto-detect parent agent
- Add dispatch table supporting pi, opencode, goose, codex, claude + unknown fallback
- Write child prompt to temp file instead of inline escaping
- Name tmux windows for discoverability
- Add new pre-flight checks: tmux session, agent detection, binary on PATH

 The issue tracker conventions live in [`docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`](../../../docs/agents/issue-tracker.md) and the triage label vocabulary in [`docs/agents/triage-labels.md`](../../../docs/agents/triage-labels.md). Both should have been provided to you already.
 
+## Invocation

+/skill:implement-issue <N> [--agent <name>] [--base <branch>] [--force]
+```
+
+- `<N>` — required, the issue number
+- `--agent <name>` — optional, one of `pi`, `opencode`, `goose`, `codex`, `claude`. If omitted, auto-detected from the process tree.
+- `--base <branch>` — optional, target base branch (default: repo default branch).
+- `--force` — optional, allow overwriting an existing worktree.

 If it exists, report and stop. Let the user override with `--force`.
 
+#### 1h. Running inside a tmux session
+
+Confirm `$TMUX` is set. If not, report "This skill requires a tmux session. Start tmux and rerun." and stop.
+
+#### 1i. Detect the agent binary
+
+If `--agent <name>` was provided in the invocation args, use that name directly. Otherwise, run the platform-appropriate detection script:
+
+```bash
+bash ./detect-agent-linux.sh
+# or on macOS:
+bash ./detect-agent-macos.sh
+```
+
+The script outputs the agent name on success (exit 0), or nothing on failure (exit 1).
+
+If detection fails (no `--agent` flag and script returns nothing), report:
+
+> Could not detect which agent is running. Rerun with `--agent <name>`.
+> Supported agents: pi, opencode, goose, codex, claude.
+
+Stop.
+
+If detection succeeds, confirm the binary is on PATH:
+
+```bash
+command -v <agent>
+```
+
+If the binary is not found, report "Agent binary '<agent>' not found on PATH." and stop.

+| Agent | Shell command |
+|-------|--------------|
+| `pi` | `pi -p @/tmp/issue-<N>-prompt.md` |
+| `opencode` | `opencode run -f /tmp/issue-<N>-prompt.md` |

+| *unknown* | `cat /tmp/issue-<N>-prompt.md \| <binary>` |

+Substitute the actual temp file path and issue number, then launch in a new tmux window:
+
+```bash
+tmux new-window -n "issue-<N>-<repo>" -c <absolute-worktree-path> "<shell-command>"
+```
+
+For example, with pi:
+
+```bash
+tmux new-window -n "issue-42-myrepo" -c ../myrepo-issue-42 "pi -p @/tmp/issue-42-prompt.md"
+```
+
+The window stays open after the child completes so the user can review the output.
+
+After tmux launches, clean up the temp file:
+
+```bash
+rm /tmp/issue-<N>-prompt.md
