The user's input is an agent name or description. Resolve it to an exact agent name.
## Normalization
The user may paste a git branch name like `mngr/some-agent` instead of the bare agent name. In that case, strip the `mngr/` prefix to get the actual agent name (e.g. `mngr/better-tabcomplete` -> `better-tabcomplete`).
## Resolution
Verify the target agent exists by running:
```
uv run mngr list --format '{name}'
```
If the extracted name doesn't match any agent exactly, check if the user's input was a description (e.g. "the agent working on X") rather than a name, and try to match against the listed agents and their git branches. If there's an unambiguous match, use it. Otherwise, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user which agent they meant, presenting the plausible candidates.
Report the resolved agent name back to the caller.Related Skills
