Messages Ops

Evidence-first workflow for retrieving live messages, DMs, and one-time verification codes, and reporting which source was checked.

What it does

This skill defines a structured workflow for reading live messages such as iMessage, social media direct messages, and recent one-time verification codes. It guides the agent to first identify the message surface, sender, and time window, then read before drafting any reply, and to treat verification-code retrieval as a focused search task. It produces a report with the source, thread or sender, time window, and an explicit status such as read, code found, blocked, or awaiting reply draft. It also lists guardrails, common pitfalls, and verification checks for the response.

When to use it

Use it when a task depends on live message threads or recent codes sent to a local messaging interface, such as reading texts or DMs, finding a one-time code, or checking a thread before replying. It is not for email; the document says to use email-ops when the main surface is a mailbox. It also fits cases where the user wants proof of which source or thread was actually checked.

Requirements

No scripts are shipped; it is instructions only. It assumes access to local messaging or browser-restricted message interfaces, and it may reference other ECC-native skills such as email-ops, connections-optimizer, lead-intelligence, and knowledge-ops when relevant. No packages, runtimes, or credentials are specified.
