FAQPage Schema
How do I send real-time chat messages during an ongoing task?

To send real-time chat messages during an ongoing task, this Skill dispatches immediate updates by writing text and media content to an IPC directory using a specific JSON format. This bypasses normal task completion flows to provide timely interim updates.

Can I include media attachments like local images in my chat updates?

Yes, you can include media attachments like local images and documents in your chat updates. The messaging capability supports both text and media file dispatch to the chat interface for comprehensive real-time communication.

What's the best way to send an acknowledgment message before a long process finishes?

The best way to send an acknowledgment message before a process finishes is to use immediate message dispatch. This allows you to confirm receipt of a request or task without waiting for the current extended operation to complete.

How does immediate message dispatch work with the IPC directory?

Immediate message dispatch works by writing to an IPC directory with a specific JSON format. This format structures the message content and metadata, enabling the chat interface to instantly receive and display real-time updates.

Are there limitations to sending progress updates before task completion?

A key limitation of sending progress updates is that the Skill requires writing JSON-formatted content to a specific IPC directory. It is designed for interim updates and acknowledgments, meaning it bypasses the normal task completion flow rather than replacing final results.
