# Sendblue CLI ## Overview `@sendblue/cli` is a Node CLI that creates a Sendblue account, provisions an iMessage-enabled number, and sends messages. It is the fastest way to text from a shell, script, or Claude Code hook — no API client, no webhook server, no credentials in env vars. Credentials live at `~/.sendblue/credentials.json` (mode `600`) and Node.js 18+ is required. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user wants to text a phone number from a script, shell, hook, or agent turn (e.g. "text me when X finishes", "ping my phone", "notify on completion"). - Use when the user mentions `sendblue` as a CLI/binary or asks to set up the `@sendblue/cli` package. - Prefer this skill over [[sendblue-api]] when the work happens in a shell context, one-shot script, cron job, or agent hook. - Reach for [[sendblue-api]] instead when writing application code that integrates Sendblue, receiving inbound webhooks, or needing features the CLI does not expose (send styles, reactions, group messages, status callbacks, media uploads). ## How It Works ### Step 1: Install ```bash npm install -g @sendblue/cli # global, exposes `sendblue` # or one-shot: npx @sendblue/cli <command> ``` ### Step 2:

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill sendblue-cli --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
