Description
Send iMessages via macOS Messages app using AppleScript. Use when user wants to send a text message/SMS to a phone number. Supports Chinese and English messa...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for sending iMessages but only works on macOS with the Messages app signed in. Before installing: confirm you'll run it on macOS; be aware the agent can call the skill autonomously (consider requiring manual confirmation before sending messages); macOS may require Accessibility permission for osascript to control Messages. Also ask the publisher to set the skill's OS restriction to macOS to avoid accidental use on unsupported systems.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: send-imessage
Version: 1.0.0
The skill instructions in SKILL.md guide the AI agent to construct and execute shell commands (osascript) using unvalidated user input for the message text and phone number. This pattern is highly susceptible to shell injection if the agent does not properly sanitize the inputs before execution. While the functionality appears intended for legitimate iMessage automation, the lack of input validation or security warnings makes it a significant security risk.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description and SKILL.md are consistent: the skill sends iMessages via AppleScript. However the registry metadata does not declare that this is macOS-only even though it requires osascript/AppleScript and the Messages app; that mismatch should be corrected.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains explicit steps to extract phone number and message and run a single osascript block to send the message. It does not instruct reading unrelated files, accessing extra environment variables, or exfiltrating data.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; this is instruction-only, so nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It properly notes runtime requirements (Messages logged in, Accessibility permissions) which are proportional to sending messages.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (good). disable-model-invocation is false (normal), which means the agent could autonomously invoke the skill — this increases the risk of the agent sending messages without extra confirmation, though it is not combined with other concerning privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install send-imessage - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/send-imessage - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
