+# iMessage
+
+Use `imsg` to read and send iMessage/SMS via macOS Messages.app.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **macOS** with Messages.app signed in
+- Install: `brew install steipete/tap/imsg`
+- Grant Full Disk Access for terminal (System Settings → Privacy → Full Disk Access)
+- Grant Automation permission for Messages.app when prompted
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User asks to send an iMessage or text message
+- Reading iMessage conversation history
+- Checking recent Messages.app chats
+- Sending to phone numbers or Apple IDs
+
+## When NOT to Use
+
+- Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp messages → use the appropriate gateway channel
+- Group chat management (adding/removing members) → not supported
+- Bulk/mass messaging → always confirm with user first
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### List Chats
+
+```bash
+imsg chats --limit 10 --json
+```
+
+### View History
+
+```bash
+# By chat ID
+imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --json
+
+# With attachments info
+imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --attachments --json
+```
+
+### Send Messages
+
+```bash
+# Text only
+imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hello!"
+
+# With attachment
+imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Check this out" --file /path/to/image.jpg
+
+# Force iMessage or SMS
+imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service imessage
+imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service sms
+```
+
+### Watch for New Messages
+
+```bash
+imsg watch --chat-id 1 --attachments
+```
+
+## Service Options
+
+- `--service imessage` — Force iMessage (requires recipient has iMessage)
+- `--service sms` — Force SMS (green bubble)
+- `--service auto` — Let Messages.app decide (default)
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Always confirm recipient and message content** before sending
+2. **Never send to unknown numbers** without explicit user approval
+3. **Verify file paths** exist before attaching
+4. **Don't spam** — rate-limit yourself
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+User: "Text mom that I'll be late"
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find mom's chat
+imsg chats --limit 20 --json | jq '.[] | select(.displayName | contains("Mom"))'
+
+# 2. Confirm with user: "Found Mom at +1555123456. Send 'I'll be late' via iMessage?"
+
+# 3. Send after confirmation
+imsg send --to "+1555123456" --text "I'll be late"
+```
