ii-IRC: Event-Driven IRC for AI Agents

ii writes all channel activity to plain files. A watcher script monitors for mentions and triggers OpenClaw system events. Responses are sent by writing to a FIFO.

Architecture

~/irc/ ├── irc.sh # Management script (start/stop/status/send) ├── watch-daemon.sh # Mention watcher → openclaw system event └── <server>/ └── <channel>/ ├── in # FIFO - write here to send messages └── out # Append-only log of all channel messages

1. Install ii

ii is in most package managers. On Arch: pacman -S ii. On Debian/Ubuntu: apt install ii. Or build from suckless.org.

2. Create scripts

Run the bundled setup script (creates ~/irc/irc.sh and ~/irc/watch-daemon.sh): bash scripts/setup.sh --server irc.example.org --port 6667 --nick MyBot --channel "#mychannel" Or create them manually — see scripts/irc.sh.template and scripts/watch-daemon.sh.template.

3. Create systemd user services (recommended)

For auto-start on boot: mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user # IRC connection service cat > ~/.config/systemd/user/irc-bot.service << 'EOF' [Unit] Description=IRC connection (ii) After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/ii -s SERVER -p PORT -n NICK -i %h/irc ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c 'sleep 3 && echo "/j CHANNEL" > %h/irc/SERVER/in' Restart=always RestartSec=10 [Install] WantedBy=default.target EOF # Mention watcher service cat > ~/.config/systemd/user/irc-watcher.service << 'EOF' [Unit] Description=IRC mention watcher After=irc-bot.service Wants=irc-bot.service [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=%h/irc/watch-daemon.sh Restart=always RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=default.target EOF # Replace SERVER, PORT, NICK, CHANNEL in the service files, then: systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user enable --now irc-bot.service irc-watcher.service

Sending Messages

# Via the management script ~/irc/irc.sh send "Hello, world!" # Or write directly to the FIFO echo "Hello, world!" > ~/irc/<server>/<channel>/in Important: ii splits long messages at byte boundaries, which can break mid-word or mid-UTF8 character. Keep messages under ~400 characters. For longer content, split into multiple messages with brief pauses between them.

Reading Context

# Last N messages (token-efficient) tail -n 20 ~/irc/<server>/<channel>/out # Quick status (last 5 messages) ~/irc/irc.sh status Never read the entire out file — it grows indefinitely. Always use tail with a limit.

How Mention Detection Works

watch-daemon.sh runs tail -F on the channel's out file Each new line is checked (case-insensitive) for the bot's nick Own messages and join/part notices are skipped On match → openclaw system event --text "IRC mention: <message>" --mode now OpenClaw wakes and can respond via the in FIFO This is event-driven — zero polling, instant response, minimal resource usage.

Joining Multiple Channels

ii supports multiple channels on the same server. For each additional channel: echo "/j #other-channel" > ~/irc/<server>/in To watch multiple channels, either run separate watcher instances or modify watch-daemon.sh to monitor multiple out files.

Troubleshooting

Not connecting: Check ii is running (pgrep -f "ii -s"), verify server/port Not joining channel: The in FIFO must exist; check ExecStartPost timing (increase sleep if needed) Mentions not triggering: Verify watcher is running (pgrep -f watch-daemon), check nick matches Messages splitting weirdly: Shorten messages; ii has a ~512 byte IRC protocol limit Reconnection: systemd Restart=always handles this; ii exits on disconnect, systemd restarts it
