SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It streamlines sending, editing, and managing iMessages through the BlueBubbles gateway instead of manually working inside chat apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Message send & follow-ups: Send new texts, reply to specific messages in threads, and manage delivery context for direct chats or groups.
  • Rich interaction controls: React (tapbacks), remove reactions, edit previously sent messages, and unsend messages.
  • Attachments & effects: Send local file attachments and trigger iMessage effects for a more expressive delivery.
  • Use Case: You need to acknowledge a request, follow up in the same conversation thread, and share a photo with a caption—without switching tools.

Quick Start

Use the bluebubbles skill to send a message to a chat by telling it the recipient (for example +15551234567) and the exact text you want to send.
