imsg

Use imsg when an OpenClaw agent must act through the user's local macOS Messages.app account: inspect iMessage/SMS history, choose the correct DM or group, send messages/files, reply, react, vote in polls, or use private-API iMessage features.

Do not use this skill for Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, or for replying inside the current OpenClaw conversation when the configured channel already routes the reply.

Agent Flow

1. Resolve the conversation first.
2. Choose DM, existing group, or new group.
3. Pick the lowest-capability command that can do the requested action.
4. Confirm any send or visible state change unless the user already gave exact recipient, content, and action.
5. Execute with stable identifiers: prefer --chat-id for normal sends/watch/history and --chat chat GUID for bridge actions.

Never infer a recipient from a casual name alone when several chats or handles could match. Show the matched display name, handle(s), group participants, and message text/action before sending.
