imsg chats --limit 10 --json to enumerate recent conversations with structured JSON output. - Read History and Watch Threads: Use imsg history --chat-id 1 --json to review past messages, or imsg watch to monitor a thread for new incoming messages. - Send Messages with Attachments: Send text or files to phone numbers and Apple IDs, with control over iMessage vs SMS via the --service flag. - Use Case: A user says "Text mom that I'll be late" — the assistant finds Mom's chat, confirms the recipient and content, then runs imsg send --to "+1555123456" --text "I'll be late". ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to send an iMessage saying hello to a specific phone number, and confirm the recipient and message content before it is sent.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Use the imsg CLI: run `imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hello!"` to send a message through Messages.app. Add `--file /path/to/image.jpg` to include an attachment, or `--service sms` to force SMS instead of iMessage.
Run `imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --json` to retrieve recent messages from a specific chat as JSON. First use `imsg chats --limit 10 --json` to find the chat ID you want to inspect.
imsg requires macOS with Messages.app signed in, Full Disk Access granted to the terminal, and Automation permission for Messages.app to send messages. Without these permissions, reading history or sending will fail.
Yes, pass `--service sms` to force SMS delivery, or `--service imessage` to require iMessage. The default `--service auto` lets Messages.app decide based on the recipient's capabilities.
Do not use imsg for Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack messages, since those have dedicated channels. It also does not support group membership management, and bulk messaging should always be confirmed with the user first.
