- Validation Checklist
- When Not to Use
- What to load
Permissions and scope
- Grants needed: Automation + Accessibility; Full Disk Access for any
chat.dbreads. - Keep automation scoped and auditable; avoid unsolicited sends and DB writes.
- Pairs with
automating-mac-appsfor common setup (permissions, osascript invocation, UI scripting basics).
Default workflow (happy path)
- Resolve transport: pick
serviceType(iMessageorSMS) before targeting a buddy. - Identify recipient: filter buddies by
handle(phone/email). Avoid ambiguous names. - Send via app-level
send: pass Buddy object toMessages.send(). - Verify window context: activate Messages when mixing with UI steps.
- Fallbacks: if send/attachments fail, use UI scripting; for history, use SQL.
Quick recipe (defensive send)
const Messages = Application('Messages');
Messages.includeStandardAdditions = true;
function safeSend(text, handle, svcType = 'iMessage') {
const svc = Messages.services.whose({ serviceType: svcType })[0];
if (!svc) throw new Error(`Service ${svcType} missing`);
const buddy = svc.buddies.whose({ handle })[0];
if (!buddy) throw new Error(`Buddy ${handle} missing on ${svcType}`);
Messages.send(text, { to: buddy });
}
- Wrap with
try/catchand log; add small delays when activating UI. - For groups, target an existing chat by GUID or fall back to UI scripting; array sends are unreliable.
Attachments and UI fallback
- Messages lacks a stable JXA attachment API; use clipboard + System Events paste/send.
- Ensure Accessibility permission, bring app forward, paste file, press Enter.
- See
references/ui-scripting-attachments.mdfor the full flow and ObjC pasteboard snippet.
Data access and forensics
Reading messages limitation: The AppleScript/JXA API for Messages is effectively write-only. While send() works reliably, reading messages via chat.messages() or similar methods is broken/unsupported in modern macOS. The only reliable way to read message history is via direct SQLite access to ~/Library/Messages/chat.db.
Security consideration: Reading chat.db requires Full Disk Access permission, which grants broad filesystem access beyond just Messages. This is a significant security trade-off - granting Full Disk Access to scripts or applications exposes all user data. Consider whether reading message history is truly necessary before enabling this permission.
- Use SQL against
chat.dbfor history; JXAchat.messages()is unreliable/non-functional. - Requires: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access for your terminal/script.
- Remember Cocoa epoch conversion (nanoseconds since 2001-01-01); use
sqlite3 -jsonfor structured results. - See
references/database-forensics.mdfor schema notes, typedstream handling, and export tooling.
Example read query (requires Full Disk Access):
sqlite3 ~/Library/Messages/chat.db "SELECT
CASE WHEN m.is_from_me = 1 THEN 'Me' ELSE 'Them' END as sender,
m.text,
datetime(m.date/1000000000 + 978307200, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') as date
FROM message m
JOIN handle h ON m.handle_id = h.rowid
WHERE h.id LIKE '%PHONE_NUMBER%'
ORDER BY m.date DESC LIMIT 10;"
Bots and monitoring
- Implement polling daemons with
launchdnow that on-receive handlers are gone. - Track
rowid, query diffs, dispatch actions, and persist state. - See
references/monitoring-daemons.mdfor the polling pattern and plist notes.
Validation Checklist
- Automation + Accessibility permissions granted
- Service resolves:
Messages.services.whose({ serviceType: 'iMessage' })[0]returns object - Buddy lookup works:
svc.buddies.whose({ handle })[0]returns target - Test send completes without errors
- Full Disk Access granted if using
chat.dbreads
When Not to Use
- For reading message history without Full Disk Access (AppleScript/JXA cannot read messages)
- For cross-platform messaging (use platform APIs or third-party services)
- For business SMS automation (use Twilio or similar APIs)
- When iMessage/SMS features are not available on the target system
- For bulk messaging (rate limits and security restrictions apply)
- When security policy prohibits Full Disk Access grants (required for any read operations)

- [What to load](#what-to-load)
## Permissions and scope
- Grants needed: Automation + Accessibility; Full Disk Access for any `chat.db` reads.
- Keep automation scoped and auditable; avoid unsolicited sends and DB writes.
- Pairs with `automating-mac-apps` for common setup (permissions, osascript invocation, UI scripting basics).
## Default workflow (happy path)
1) [ ] Resolve transport: pick `serviceType` (`iMessage` or `SMS`) before targeting a buddy.
2) [ ] Identify recipient: filter buddies by `handle` (phone/email). Avoid ambiguous names.
3) [ ] Send via app-level `send`: pass Buddy object to `Messages.send()`.
4) [ ] Verify window context: activate Messages when mixing with UI steps.
5) [ ] Fallbacks: if send/attachments fail, use UI scripting; for history, use SQL.
## Quick recipe (defensive send)
```javascript
const Messages = Application('Messages');
Messages.includeStandardAdditions = true;
function safeSend(text, handle, svcType = 'iMessage') {
const svc = Messages.services.whose({ serviceType: svcType })[0];
if (!svc) throw new Error(`Service ${svcType} missing`);
const buddy = svc.buddies.whose({ handle })[0];
if (!buddy) throw new Error(`Buddy ${handle} missing on ${svcType}`);
Messages.send(text, { to: buddy });
}
```
- Wrap with `try/catch` and log; add small delays when activating UI.
- For groups, target an existing chat by GUID or fall back to UI scripting; array sends are unreliable.
## Attachments and UI fallback
- Messages lacks a stable JXA attachment API; use clipboard + System Events paste/send.
- Ensure Accessibility permission, bring app forward, paste file, press Enter.
- See `references/ui-scripting-attachments.md` for the full flow and ObjC pasteboard snippet.
## Data access and forensics
**Reading messages limitation:** The AppleScript/JXA API for Messages is effectively **write-only**. While `send()` works reliably, reading messages via `chat.messages()` or similar methods is broken/unsupported in modern macOS. The only reliable way to read message history is via direct SQLite access to `~/Library/Messages/chat.db`.
**Security consideration:** Reading `chat.db` requires **Full Disk Access** permission, which grants broad filesystem access beyond just Messages. This is a significant security trade-off - granting Full Disk Access to scripts or applications exposes all user data. Consider whether reading message history is truly necessary before enabling this permission.
- Use SQL against `chat.db` for history; JXA `chat.messages()` is unreliable/non-functional.
- Requires: **System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access** for your terminal/script.
- Remember Cocoa epoch conversion (nanoseconds since 2001-01-01); use `sqlite3 -json` for structured results.
- See `references/database-forensics.md` for schema notes, typedstream handling, and export tooling.
**Example read query (requires Full Disk Access):**
```sql
sqlite3 ~/Library/Messages/chat.db "SELECT
CASE WHEN m.is_from_me = 1 THEN 'Me' ELSE 'Them' END as sender,
m.text,
datetime(m.date/1000000000 + 978307200, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') as date
FROM message m
JOIN handle h ON m.handle_id = h.rowid
WHERE h.id LIKE '%PHONE_NUMBER%'
ORDER BY m.date DESC LIMIT 10;"
```
## Bots and monitoring
- Implement polling daemons with `launchd` now that on-receive handlers are gone.
- Track `rowid`, query diffs, dispatch actions, and persist state.
- See `references/monitoring-daemons.md` for the polling pattern and plist notes.
## Validation Checklist
- [ ] Automation + Accessibility permissions granted
- [ ] Service resolves: `Messages.services.whose({ serviceType: 'iMessage' })[0]` returns object
- [ ] Buddy lookup works: `svc.buddies.whose({ handle })[0]` returns target
- [ ] Test send completes without errors
- [ ] Full Disk Access granted if using `chat.db` reads
## When Not to Use
- For reading message history without Full Disk Access (AppleScript/JXA cannot read messages)
- For cross-platform messaging (use platform APIs or third-party services)
- For business SMS automation (use Twilio or similar APIs)
- When iMessage/SMS features are not available on the target system

Do not treat copying this prompt or successful installation as proof that the task succeeded.Copying is not installation or a successful run. Check dependencies, API costs and permissions before proceeding.
Instruction file only. Sign in to download; scripts and other dependencies remain in the source repository.
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
