message-agent

The user's message contains a target agent name (the first word) and a description of what to communicate. Extract the agent name and treat everything after it as the intent/content of the message.

Your agent name is: !echo "$MNGR_AGENT_NAME"

Agent Name Resolution

Use the /find-agent skill with the first word of the user's input to resolve it to an exact agent name.

Composing the Message

Based on the user's description, compose the full message. Every message you send MUST:

1. Start with a sender tag: [from: !echo "$MNGR_AGENT_NAME"].
2. Contain the actual content: Write the message based on what the user described. Be clear and direct.
3. End with a reply instruction: Close with a line like: To reply, use the /message-agent skill.

Example message (for an agent named refactor-auth):

[from: refactor-auth]

Hey -- I just finished refactoring the auth middleware on my branch. You'll want to rebase before merging since I changed the SessionStore interface. The new method is `get_session_by_token()` instead of `lookup()`.

To reply, use the /message-agent skill.

Sending the Message

Write the composed message to a temporary file using the Write tool, then send it with --message-file. Name the temp file /tmp/mngr-message-from-YOUR_NAME-to-AGENT_NAME.txt (using your agent name and the resolved target name):

uv run mngr message AGENT_NAME --message-file /tmp/mngr-message-from-YOUR_NAME-to-AGENT_NAME.txt

Use --message-file for all messages -- it avoids shell quoting issues and preserves formatting.

After Sending

Report to the user what you sent and to whom. If the send command fails, report the error.
