Task b38a7475: users need an intuitive way to send a task or alert to an agent as a real request with structured context. Today's workaround is copy-paste the id into a plain message, which drops the structured reference and teaches the receiver to guess. This spec defines the two commands, the outgoing envelope shape (one transcript message, one card, reuses PR #53 alert metadata + PR #54 task snapshot pattern), how delivery receipts flow through (SEND-RECEIPTS-001), and how the flow differs from plain ax send vs. passive app signals. Owner split: - CLI (orion, this spec + impl): tasks send / alerts forward - Frontend (frontend_sentinel, task 60113fd7): Send to Agent button + receiver card rendering - MCP (mcp_sentinel, follow-up): optional tasks.send / alerts.send MCP tool - Backend: no schema changes, plain messages POST accepts the envelope Composes with PR #107 (availability-escalation), PR #108 (delivery- receipts), PR #54 (task snapshot embedding), PR #53 (ax alerts MVP).

Summary
Task `b38a7475` — define the CLI contract for sending tasks and alerts to agents as real, structured requests (not paraphrases in a plain message).
What this PR is
A single spec doc at `specs/SEND-TO-AGENT-001/spec.md`.
Recommendation
Two commands, thin specializations of the existing `ax send` + `_build_alert_metadata` machinery:
```bash
axctl tasks send TASK_ID --to @agent [--message TEXT] [--reason TEXT] [--wait]
axctl alerts forward ALERT_ID --to @agent [--message TEXT] [--wait]
```
One transcript message per send. Metadata carries `alert.task` snapshot (PR #54 pattern) + `resource_uri = ui://tasks/{id}` for the Open Task button. `message_type = task_send` (or `alert_send`) distinguishes from plain text and from passive reminders.
