wait-for-agent

name	wait-for-agent
description	Wait for another agent to enter WAITING state, then execute follow-up instructions

The user's message contains an agent name and optional follow-up instructions. Extract the agent name (the first word) and treat everything after it as follow-up instructions.

Agent Name Resolution

Skip this step if the user seems to have provided the exact name of the agent -- just use the first word of their input directly as the target. Otherwise (for example they pasted a branch name like mngr/foo, or described the agent instead of naming it), run the /imbue-mngr-skills:find-agent skill, which explains how to find the exact agent name.

Polling

Run the following bash command (with a 600000ms timeout), substituting AGENT_NAME with the resolved agent name. The loop returns immediately if the agent is already in a ready state:

while true; do
  OUTPUT=$(mngr list --include 'name == "AGENT_NAME"' --format '{state}|{plugin.claude.waiting_reason}' 2>/dev/null | head -1)
  STATE="${OUTPUT%%|*}"
  REASON="${OUTPUT#*|}"
  echo "[$(date '+%H:%M:%S')] Agent 'AGENT_NAME' state: ${STATE:-NOT_FOUND} (reason: ${REASON:-none})"
  case "$STATE" in
    DONE|STOPPED) echo ;  ;;
    WAITING)
       [  =  ]; 
         
         60
      
         ; 
       ;;
    )  ;  ;;
    *)  60 ;;
