iMessage Auto-Responder

Automatically respond to iMessages/SMS from specific contacts using AI-generated replies that match your voice and conversation context.

โš ๏ธ Requirements Checklist

Before using this skill, ensure you have: macOS with Messages.app signed in to iMessage imsg CLI installed: brew install steipete/tap/imsg OpenAI API key configured in Clawdbot config Full Disk Access granted to Terminal/iTerm Messages automation permission (macOS will prompt on first use)

Features

๐Ÿค– AI-powered responses using OpenAI GPT-4 ๐Ÿ“ฑ Contact-based prompts - different AI personality per contact โฑ๏ธ Rate limiting - configurable delays between auto-responses ๐Ÿ’ฌ Context-aware - AI sees recent conversation history ๐Ÿ“Š Telegram management - slash commands + natural language ๐Ÿ”„ Background monitoring - continuous polling for new messages ๐Ÿ”ง Auto-cleanup - clears stale locks on restart (prevents stuck contacts) ๐Ÿงช Test mode - generate real AI responses without sending โฐ Time windows - only respond during specific hours (e.g., 9 AM - 10 PM) ๐Ÿ”‘ Keyword triggers - only respond if message contains specific keywords (e.g., "urgent", "help") ๐Ÿ“Š Statistics tracking - track total responses, daily counts, and averages per contact ๐Ÿšฆ Daily cap - limit max replies per day per contact (safety feature)

1. Add contacts to watch list

cd ~/clawd/imsg-autoresponder/scripts node manage.js add "+15551234567" "Reply with a middle finger emoji" "Best Friend" node manage.js add "+15559876543" "You are my helpful assistant. Reply warmly and briefly, as if I'm responding myself. Keep it under 160 characters." "Mom"

2. Start the watcher

node watcher.js The watcher runs in the foreground and logs to ~/clawd/logs/imsg-autoresponder.log.

3. Run in background (recommended)

# Start in background nohup node ~/clawd/imsg-autoresponder/scripts/watcher.js > /dev/null 2>&1 & # Or use screen/tmux screen -S imsg-watcher node ~/clawd/imsg-autoresponder/scripts/watcher.js # Ctrl+A, D to detach

Configuration

Config file: ~/clawd/imsg-autoresponder.json { "enabled": true, "defaultMinMinutesBetweenReplies": 15, "watchList": [ { "identifier": "+15551234567", "name": "Best Friend", "prompt": "Reply with a middle finger emoji", "minMinutesBetweenReplies": 10, "enabled": true } ] }

Management via Telegram (Recommended)

The auto-responder can be managed directly through Telegram using slash commands or natural language.

Slash Commands

Both space and underscore formats are supported: /autorespond list OR /autorespond_list /autorespond status OR /autorespond_status /autorespond add OR /autorespond_add <number> <name> <prompt> /autorespond remove OR /autorespond_remove <number> /autorespond edit OR /autorespond_edit <number> <prompt> /autorespond delay OR /autorespond_delay <number> <minutes> /autorespond history OR /autorespond_history <number> /autorespond test OR /autorespond_test <number> <message> /autorespond toggle OR /autorespond_toggle /autorespond restart OR /autorespond_restart Bulk Operations: /autorespond set-all-delays OR /autorespond_set_all_delays <minutes> /autorespond enable-all OR /autorespond_enable_all /autorespond disable-all OR /autorespond_disable_all Time Windows: /autorespond set-time-window OR /autorespond_set_time_window <number> <start> <end> /autorespond clear-time-windows OR /autorespond_clear_time_windows <number> Keyword Triggers: /autorespond add-keyword OR /autorespond_add_keyword <number> <keyword> /autorespond remove-keyword OR /autorespond_remove_keyword <number> <keyword> /autorespond clear-keywords OR /autorespond_clear_keywords <number> Statistics & Limits: /autorespond stats OR /autorespond_stats [<number>] /autorespond set-daily-cap OR /autorespond_set_daily_cap <number> <max> Examples: /autorespond_list /autorespond_status /autorespond_edit +15551234567 Be more sarcastic /autorespond_delay +15551234567 30 /autorespond_history +15551234567 /autorespond_set_time_window +15551234567 09:00 22:00 /autorespond_clear_time_windows +15551234567 /autorespond_add_keyword +15551234567 urgent /autorespond_add_keyword +15551234567 help /autorespond_clear_keywords +15551234567 /autorespond_stats /autorespond_stats +15551234567 /autorespond_set_daily_cap +15551234567 10 /autorespond_set_all_delays 30 /autorespond_disable_all /autorespond_restart

Natural Language

You can also just ask naturally: "Show me the auto-responder status" "Add +15551234567 to the watch list with prompt: be sarcastic" "Change Scott's prompt to be nicer" "Disable auto-replies for Mom" "What has the auto-responder sent to Foxy recently?" "Restart the auto-responder" The agent will understand and execute the command using the telegram-handler.js script.

Command-Line Management (Advanced)

cd ~/clawd/imsg-autoresponder/scripts # List all contacts node manage.js list # Add contact node manage.js add "+15551234567" "Your custom prompt here" "Optional Name" # Remove contact node manage.js remove "+15551234567" # Enable/disable contact node manage.js enable "+15551234567" node manage.js disable "+15551234567" # Set custom delay for contact (in minutes) node manage.js set-delay "+15551234567" 30 # Toggle entire system on/off node manage.js toggle

How It Works

Watcher monitors all incoming messages via imsg watch Checks watch list to see if sender is configured for auto-response Rate limiting ensures we don't spam (configurable minutes between replies) Fetches message history for the conversation (last 20 messages) Generates AI response using Clawdbot + the contact's configured prompt Sends reply via imsg send Logs everything to ~/clawd/logs/imsg-autoresponder.log

State Tracking

Response times are tracked in ~/clawd/data/imsg-autoresponder-state.json: { "lastResponses": { "+15551234567": 1706453280000 } } This ensures rate limiting works correctly across restarts.

Prompts

Prompts define how the AI should respond to each contact. Be specific! Examples: "Reply with a middle finger emoji" "You are my helpful assistant. Reply warmly and briefly, as if I'm responding myself. Keep it under 160 characters." "You are my sarcastic friend. Reply with witty, slightly snarky responses. Keep it short." "Politely decline any requests and say I'm busy. Be brief but friendly." The AI will see: The contact's custom prompt Recent message history (last 5 messages) The latest incoming message

Requirements

macOS with Messages.app signed in imsg CLI installed (brew install steipete/tap/imsg) Full Disk Access for Terminal Clawdbot installed and configured Anthropic API key (configured in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var) curl (pre-installed on macOS)

Safety

Rate limiting prevents spam (default: 15 minutes between replies per contact) Manual override via enabled: false in config or node manage.js disable <number> System toggle to disable all auto-responses: node manage.js toggle Logs track all activity for review

Troubleshooting

Watcher not responding: Check ~/clawd/logs/imsg-autoresponder.log for errors Verify imsg watch works manually: imsg watch --json Ensure contact is in watch list: node manage.js list Rate limited too aggressively: Adjust delay: node manage.js set-delay "+15551234567" 5 Or edit defaultMinMinutesBetweenReplies in config AI responses are off: Refine the prompt for that contact Check message history is being captured correctly (see logs)

Agent Command Handling

When the user uses slash commands or natural language about the auto-responder, use the telegram-handler.js script.

Command Mapping (Both Formats Supported)

Watcher Not Responding

Check status: /autorespond_status View logs: tail -f ~/clawd/logs/imsg-autoresponder.log Restart: /autorespond_restart

Common Issues

"OPENAI_API_KEY not found" Add API key to ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json: { "skills": { "openai-whisper-api": { "apiKey": "sk-proj-YOUR_KEY_HERE" } } } Restart watcher after adding key Permission errors Grant Full Disk Access to Terminal in System Settings Restart Terminal after granting access Verify imsg chats --json works manually Messages not detected Check Messages.app is signed in Verify contact is in watch list: /autorespond_list Ensure watcher is running: /autorespond_status Duplicate responses Fixed in current version via processing locks Restart watcher to apply fix: /autorespond_restart

Testing

Generate actual AI responses without sending (preview mode): /autorespond_test +15551234567 Hey what's up? This will: Use the contact's actual prompt Generate a real AI response via OpenAI Show exactly what would be sent NOT actually send the message Perfect for testing new prompts before going live!

Privacy & Safety

โš ๏ธ Important: This tool sends messages on your behalf automatically. Only add contacts who know they're texting an AI or won't mind Review responses regularly via /autorespond_history Use rate limiting to avoid spam Be transparent when appropriate Disable instantly if needed: /autorespond_toggle

Future Enhancements
