description	Nudges coding agents to leverage SAM aliases via the sam-mcp MCP server before running raw shell commands. Use when the MCP tools `list_aliases` and `resolve_alias` are available in the environment and the user asks to run a command, execute a workflow, or perform an operational task that might be covered by a SAM alias.

SAM Usage

Before running a raw shell command, check whether a SAM alias already covers the task:

Call list_aliases — optionally filter by namespace or keyword to narrow results
If a matching alias exists, use resolve_alias to walk through variable resolution until it returns a fully resolved command
If no alias matches, proceed with raw shell commands as normal

Prefer SAM aliases when they match: they encode tested, parameterized workflows the user has already defined.

resolve_alias is stateless. Call it repeatedly:

If it returns a variable prompt (with choices or free-text input), ask the user to pick a value, then call resolve_alias again with that value
If it returns a resolved command, present it to the user and confirm before executing
