Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00771 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00385 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00154 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00077 |
Grade A, and why
imsg scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
91% identical to imsg — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
imsg
Use imsg to read and send iMessage/SMS via macOS Messages.app.
When to Use
✅ USE this skill when:
- User explicitly asks to send iMessage or SMS
- Reading iMessage conversation history
- Checking recent Messages.app chats
- Sending to phone numbers or Apple IDs
When NOT to Use
❌ DON'T use this skill when:
- Telegram messages → use
messagetool withchannel:telegram - Signal messages → use Signal channel if configured
- WhatsApp messages → use WhatsApp channel if configured
- Discord messages → use
messagetool withchannel:discord - Slack messages → use
slackskill - Group chat management (adding/removing members) → not supported
- Bulk/mass messaging → always confirm with user first
- Replying in current conversation → just reply normally (Brigade routes automatically)
Requirements
- macOS with Messages.app signed in
- Full Disk Access for terminal
- Automation permission for Messages.app (for sending)
Common Commands
List Chats
imsg chats --limit 10 --json
View History
# By chat ID
imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --json
# With attachments info
imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --attachments --json
Watch for New Messages
imsg watch --chat-id 1 --attachments
Send Messages
# Text only
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hello!"
# With attachment
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Check this out" --file /path/to/image.jpg
# Specify service
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service imessage
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service sms
Service Options
--service imessage— Force iMessage (requires recipient has iMessage)--service sms— Force SMS (green bubble)--service auto— Let Messages.app decide (default)
Safety Rules
- Always confirm recipient and message content before sending
- Never send to unknown numbers without explicit user approval
- Be careful with attachments — confirm file path exists
- Rate limit yourself — don't spam
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
