iMessage Daemon Management

Manage the iMessage auto-reply daemon that monitors incoming messages and responds autonomously.

User Request

The user wants to: {{command}}

Default to "status" if no command specified.

Available Commands

• start: Start the daemon (requires configuration)
• stop: Stop the running daemon
• status: Check if daemon is running and show logs

Your Task

1. Determine the command: Extract the action from the user's request (start|stop|status)

2. Locate the daemon script: The plugin installation includes the daemon at:

   • Find plugin installation path (typically in Claude Code's plugin directory)
   • Daemon script is at: skills/imessage/daemon/imessage-auto-reply-daemon.sh

3. Execute the appropriate action:

   For START:

   • Check if environment variables are configured:
     • IMESSAGE_CONTACT_PHONE (required)
     • IMESSAGE_CONTACT_NAME (required)
     • IMESSAGE_CONTACT_EMAIL (optional)
   • If not configured, guide user to set them:

     export IMESSAGE_CONTACT_PHONE="4155551234"
     export IMESSAGE_CONTACT_NAME="John Doe"
     export IMESSAGE_CONTACT_EMAIL="john@example.com"  # optional
     

   • Create tmp directory if needed: mkdir -p ~/tmp/imessage
   • Start the daemon in background:

     nohup /path/to/plugin/skills/imessage/daemon/imessage-auto-reply-daemon.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
     

   • Confirm it started and show the PID
   • Show how to view logs

   For STOP:

   • Find the daemon process: ps aux | grep imessage-auto-reply-daemon | grep -v grep
   • Kill it: pkill -f imessage-auto-reply-daemon
   • Confirm it was stopped
   • Show any final log messages

   For STATUS:

   • Check if daemon is running: ps aux | grep imessage-auto-reply-daemon | grep -v grep
   • If running:
     • Show PID and how long it's been running
     • Show last 10 lines of daemon log: tail -10 ~/tmp/imessage/imessage-auto-reply.log
     • Show last 10 lines of agent log: tail -10 ~/tmp/imessage/imessage-agent.log
     • Show configuration (contact phone/name)
   • If not running:
     • Confirm it's not running
     • Show how to start it with /imessage-daemon start

Important Notes

• The daemon requires environment variables to be set before starting
• Logs are stored in ~/tmp/imessage/
• The daemon maintains conversation continuity via conversation ID file
• Only one daemon instance should run per contact

Example Interactions

User: "/imessage-daemon" → Show status (default behavior)

User: "/imessage-daemon start" → Check config, start daemon, confirm running

User: "/imessage-daemon stop" → Stop daemon, confirm stopped

Configuration Help

If user needs to configure the daemon, show them:

# Create configuration file
cat > ~/.claude-imessage.env << 'EOF'
export IMESSAGE_CONTACT_PHONE="4155551234"
export IMESSAGE_CONTACT_NAME="John Doe"
export IMESSAGE_CONTACT_EMAIL="john@example.com"  # optional
EOF

# Load configuration
source ~/.claude-imessage.env

# Start daemon
/imessage-daemon start

Provide helpful, clear output and guide users through any configuration issues.
