Build or update the BlueBubbles external channel plugin for Clawdbot (extension package, REST send/probe, webhook inbound).
Build or update the BlueBubbles external channel plugin for Clawdbot (extension package, REST send/probe, webhook inbound).
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use this skill when working on the BlueBubbles channel plugin.
Extension package: extensions/bluebubbles/ (entry: index.ts). Channel implementation: extensions/bluebubbles/src/channel.ts. Webhook handling: extensions/bluebubbles/src/monitor.ts (register via api.registerHttpHandler). REST helpers: extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts + extensions/bluebubbles/src/probe.ts. Runtime bridge: extensions/bluebubbles/src/runtime.ts (set via api.runtime). Catalog entry for onboarding: src/channels/plugins/catalog.ts.
probeBlueBubbles in extensions/bluebubbles/src/probe.ts for health checks. sendMessageBlueBubbles in extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts for text delivery. resolveChatGuidForTarget in extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts for chat lookup. sendBlueBubblesReaction in extensions/bluebubbles/src/reactions.ts for tapbacks. sendBlueBubblesTyping + markBlueBubblesChatRead in extensions/bluebubbles/src/chat.ts. downloadBlueBubblesAttachment in extensions/bluebubbles/src/attachments.ts for inbound media. buildBlueBubblesApiUrl + blueBubblesFetchWithTimeout in extensions/bluebubbles/src/types.ts for shared REST plumbing.
BlueBubbles posts JSON to the gateway HTTP server. Normalize sender/chat IDs defensively (payloads vary by version). Skip messages marked as from self. Route into core reply pipeline via the plugin runtime (api.runtime) and clawdbot/plugin-sdk helpers. For attachments/stickers, use <media:...> placeholders when text is empty and attach media paths via MediaUrl(s) in the inbound context.
channels.bluebubbles.serverUrl (base URL), channels.bluebubbles.password, channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath. Action gating: channels.bluebubbles.actions.reactions (default true).
Reactions: The react action requires a target (phone number or chat identifier) in addition to messageId. Example: action=react target=+15551234567 messageId=ABC123 emoji=โค๏ธ
