What it is
Claude-to-IM Skill is a TypeScript-based daemon that bridges Claude Code / Codex sessions to multiple IM platforms (Telegram, Discord, Feishu/Lark, QQ, WeChat). Messages from IM are forwarded to the AI agent, and responses are sent back, with features such as streaming previews and permission prompts. The project claims integration across five IM platforms and a zero-code setup flow.
How it works
The skill runs a background Node.js daemon that connects IM bot APIs to Claude Code or Codex through SDKs (Claude Agent SDK or Codex SDK). It forwards messages from IM to the AI agent and streams responses back, including tool usage, permission requests, and previews. Core components include a daemon entry, config management, a JSON-based bridge store, and SSE streaming for responses.
