Description
### Checks
- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 - Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
### Expected behaviour
# Current files
## cli-agents directory:
• ~/.aws/amazonq/cli-agents/kw_cli_agent_config.json
# Command
> /agent edit -n kw_cli
# Expected
An editor will open with my configuration.
### Actual behaviour
[chat-transcript]
> /agent list
blank
\* kw_cli
> /agent edit -n kw_cli
**Failed to execute command: Agent kw_cli does not exist**
### Steps to reproduce
### Create a JSON file for a cli-agent, give it a different name from the agent name inside it.
```
> /agent list
blank
* kw_cli
> /agent edit -n kw_cli
Failed to execute command: Agent kw_cli does not exist
```
### Fix, rename the file to match the agent name.
`mv ~/.aws/amazonq/cli-agents/kw_cli_agent_config.json ~/.aws/amazonq/cli-agents/kw_cli.json`
