imessage

npx skills add photon-hq/skills --skill imessage

Two kits, your choice of infrastructure:

• @photon-ai/imessage-kit — Self-hosted. Runs on your Mac.
• @photon-ai/advanced-imessage-kit — Production infrastructure by Photon. Scales to any number of phone numbers.

Covers: sending text, images, files, effects, tapbacks, stickers, and polls · editing and unsending messages · real-time events via WebSockets · group chat management · scheduling and reminders · Find My, FaceTime, and contacts · Photon Webhook for HTTP event forwarding · Photon MCP with 67 tools at mcp.photon.codes · security best practices · error handling and plugins.

chat-adapter-imessage

npx skills add photon-hq/skills --skill chat-adapter-imessage

Adapter that connects the Vercel AI SDK (Chat) to iMessage.

Covers: createiMessageAdapter config for local and remote modes · postMessage, editMessage, deleteMessage, react, startGatewayListener · webhook payload types · feature matrix for Photon server capabilities.

buildspace-ci-cd

npx skills add photon-hq/skills --skill buildspace-ci-cd

Configure and debug BuildSpace-powered release automation using reusable GitHub Actions workflows and blocks.

Covers: workflow selection by project type (Rust, TypeScript, Go, Swift) · required inputs, secrets, and permissions · label-gated release triggers · monorepo handling with topological sorting · cross-platform artifact builds · Homebrew tap and Jamf publishing · README drift detection · dry-run validation · troubleshooting.

spectrum

npx skills add photon-hq/skills --skill spectrum

spectrum-ts is Photon's unified messaging SDK for TypeScript. Write your handler logic once against a single app.messages stream and ship it across iMessage, WhatsApp Business, your terminal, or a custom platform you build yourself.

Covers: installation and the Spectrum() app instance · core primitives (Message, Space, User, Platform provider) · receiving messages and narrowing content (text, attachment, voice, contact, richlink, reaction, poll, group, custom) · the full content builder family · spaces, typing indicators, responding · reactions, tapbacks, and threaded replies · platform narrowing · built-in providers (iMessage cloud/local/dedicated with message effects, Terminal TUI, WhatsApp Business 1:1) · custom event streams and graceful shutdown · authoring custom platforms with definePlatform · production architecture patterns (debounce pipeline, in-flight cancellation, carry-forward, idempotent retries, per-resource memory, job-failure audit log).

Usage

Skills are automatically picked up by supported agents once installed — Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, OpenCode, and 25+ others.

Try asking your agent:

• Build an iMessage AI agent that auto-replies to group messages
• Send a scheduled message to a contact every morning at 9am
• Connect my Next.js AI chatbot to iMessage using the Vercel AI SDK
• Set up a webhook to receive iMessage events on my server
• Give my Claude agent access to iMessage via MCP
• Send an iMessage using curl from my Python script
• Set up BuildSpace release automation for my TypeScript monorepo
• Build a multi-platform agent with Spectrum that handles iMessage, WhatsApp, and a terminal test harness from one handler
• Design the message-handling pipeline for my Spectrum agent — debouncing bursts, cancellation, idempotent retries
