feat(msg): /msg skill — read/write cross-session mailbox by @id
Thin skill wrapper over the existing kei-message jsonl mailbox so the
user (and agents) can talk between Claude Code sessions with @id syntax:
  /msg                 read my inbox (to me or "all")
  /msg @frontend text  send to a session (identity = its cwd basename)
  /msg all text        broadcast
  /msg list | who      whole bus / known recipients

- kei-message.sh send now accepts a leading @name as the recipient
  (first token only; a later @x stays literal). --to still works.
- skills/msg/SKILL.md documents the identity model (cwd-basename),
  pull delivery (recipient's next turn via mailbox-inject hook), and the
  first-contact discovery path (who / all).
- README skills count 68 -> 69.

Verified: @name/all/--to parsing (3 cases) + end-to-end send/inbox/who
via the live script in a sandbox HOME. Skill registered + discoverable.

name description argument-hint
msg Read or write the cross-session mailbox by @id. Send a message to another Claude Code session (`/msg @name text`), read your own inbox (`/msg` with no args), broadcast to everyone (`/msg all text`), list the whole bus, or discover who is reachable. Thin wrapper over the `kei message` jsonl mailbox — messages land in the recipient's NEXT turn via the mailbox-inject hook (pull, not push). Use whenever the user wants sessions/agents to talk to each other. [@name] <message> | (empty = read inbox) | list | who

/msg — Inter-Session Mailbox

A persistent append-only bus so ANY Claude Code session can message ANY other — not just Agent-Teams teammates, no tmux, no daemon. Backed by ~/.claude/scripts/kei-message.sh writing ~/.claude/mailbox/messages.jsonl. The mailbox-inject.sh UserPromptSubmit hook pulls each session's unread into its context once per turn, so delivery is pull (arrives on the recipient's next turn), not instant push.

Identity model

  • Your address = the basename of this session's working directory ($PWD). So a session running in ~/Projects/frontend is reachable as @frontend.
  • all is the broadcast channel — every session sees to:"all" messages.
  • You can override the sender with --from <name> and the reader identity with --me <name> if a session's cwd basename isn't the name you want to use.

Command map

Interpret $ARGUMENTS and run the matching command via Bash, then show its output to the user. The launcher kei message … and the script path are equivalent — prefer the script path (always present after install):

User typed Run
/msg (no args) ~/.claude/scripts/kei-message.sh inbox
/msg @frontend ship it ~/.claude/scripts/kei-message.sh send @frontend ship it
/msg all standup in 5 ~/.claude/scripts/kei-message.sh send all standup in 5
/msg list ~/.claude/scripts/kei-message.sh list
/msg who (or channels) ~/.claude/scripts/kei-message.sh channels

Rules for parsing $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Empty → read inbox (inbox). Show the messages addressed to this session or to all.
  2. Starts with @<name> → send to that recipient; the rest is the body. A @x that appears later in the body stays literal text.
  3. Starts with all → broadcast; the rest is the body.
  4. list → print the recent whole bus (every from→to line).
  5. who / channels → print known recipient names (use this to discover who is reachable before sending the first message).
  6. Anything else with no leading @/all → treat as a broadcast body, OR ask the user who the recipient is if it's ambiguous.

Discovery (first-message problem)

A recipient only appears in who after it has sent or been sent a message, so for the very first contact either broadcast with all, or ask the user for the target session's cwd-basename. Don't invent a recipient name.

Notes

  • Sending never blocks and never notifies the recipient out-of-band — they see it on their next turn. For a time-sensitive ping, tell the user it's queued.
  • This is plain files: cat ~/.claude/mailbox/messages.jsonl is the raw bus.
  • Bypass the inject hook for a session with KEI_MAILBOX_BYPASS=1.
