messages-ops（消息操作）

Messages Ops

Use this when the task is live-message retrieval: iMessage, DMs, recent one-time codes, or thread inspection before a follow-up.

This is not email work. If the dominant surface is a mailbox, use email-ops.

Skill Stack

Pull these ECC-native skills into the workflow when relevant:

• email-ops when the message task is really mailbox work
• connections-optimizer when the DM thread belongs to outbound network work
• lead-intelligence when the live thread should inform targeting or warm-path outreach
• knowledge-ops when the thread contents need to be captured into durable context

When to Use

• user says "read my messages", "check texts", "look in DMs", or "find the code"
• the task depends on a live thread or a recent code delivered to a local messaging surface
• the user wants proof of which source or thread was inspected

Guardrails

• resolve the source first:

- local messages - X / social DM - another browser-gated message surface

• do not claim a thread was checked without naming the source
• do not improvise raw database access if a checked helper or standard path exists
• if auth or MFA blocks the surface, report the exact blocker

Workflow

1. Resolve the exact thread

Before doing anything else, settle:

• message surface
• sender / recipient / service
• time window
• whether the task is retrieval, inspection, or prep for a reply

2. Read before drafting

If the task may turn into an outbound follow-up:

• read the latest inbound
• identify the open loop
• then hand off to the correct outbound skill if needed

3. Handle codes as a focused retrieval task

For one-time codes:

• search the recent local message window first
• narrow by service or sender when possible
• stop once the code is found or the focused search is exhausted

4. Report exact evidence

Return:

• source used
• thread or sender when possible
• time window
• exact status:

- read - code-found - blocked - awaiting reply draft

Output Format

SOURCE
- message surface
- sender / thread / service

RESULT
- message summary or code
- time window

STATUS
- read / code-found / blocked / awaiting reply draft

Pitfalls

• do not blur mailbox work and DM/text work
• do not claim retrieval without naming the source
• do not burn time on broad searches when the ask is a recent-code lookup
• do not keep retrying a blocked auth path without surfacing the blocker

Verification

• the response names the message source
• the response includes a sender, service, thread, or clear blocker
• the final state is explicit and bounded
