|
||||
Requirements: Messages.app signed in, Full Disk Access for your terminal, and Automation permission to control Messages.app for sending.
|
||||
✅ **USE this skill when:**
|
||||
|
||||
## Inputs to collect

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||
### Send Messages
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "hi" --file /path/pic.jpg
|
||||
# Text only
|
||||
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hello!"
|
||||
|
||||
# With attachment
|
||||
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Check this out" --file /path/to/image.jpg
|
||||
|
||||
# Specify service
|
||||
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service imessage
|
||||
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service sms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
## Service Options
|
||||
|
||||
- `--service imessage|sms|auto` controls delivery.
|
||||
- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
|
||||
- `--service imessage` — Force iMessage (requires recipient has iMessage)
|
||||
- `--service sms` — Force SMS (green bubble)
|
||||
- `--service auto` — Let Messages.app decide (default)
|
||||
|
||||
## Ideas to try
|
||||
## Safety Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `imsg chats --limit 10 --json` to discover chat ids.
|
||||
- Watch a high-signal chat to stream incoming messages.
|
||||
1. **Always confirm recipient and message content** before sending
|
||||
2. **Never send to unknown numbers** without explicit user approval
|
||||
3. **Be careful with attachments** — confirm file path exists
|
||||
4. **Rate limit yourself** — don't spam
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
User: "Text mom that I'll be late"
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Find mom's chat
|
||||
imsg chats --limit 20 --json | jq '.[] | select(.displayName | contains("Mom"))'
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Confirm with user
|
||||
# "Found Mom at +1555123456. Send 'I'll be late' via iMessage?"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Send after confirmation
|
||||
imsg send --to "+1555123456" --text "I'll be late"
|
||||
```
