SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the hassle of manually looking up contacts and sending individual text messages through Apple Messages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Individual Message Delivery: Send messages individually to each recipient, never creating group chats.
  • Attachment Support: Send images, videos, documents, and other files with or without text messages.
  • Use Case: When you need to send the same message to multiple people, this Skill ensures each person receives it as a separate 1-on-1 conversation.

Quick Start

Use the text-message skill to send a text to Rob saying "I'm running 10 minutes late"."
