# Sendblue Notify ## Overview Outbound, fire-and-forget notifications from a local Claude Code session, script, or scheduled job to the user's phone via Sendblue. This is the "walk away from the terminal" pattern: kick off something long, get an iMessage when it lands. This skill owns **when to notify and what to say**. Actual sending goes through [[sendblue-cli]]. Hook wiring (so notifications fire automatically) goes through [[update-config]]. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user says "text me when X is done", "ping my phone", "notify me on completion", "let me know when the build/deploy/migration finishes", or "send me an iMessage when…". - Use when the user asks to wire a hook that texts on agent stop, `/loop` iteration, or `/schedule` completion. - Use when an agent turn is genuinely long-running and the user has gone heads-down on something else. - Do **not** use for short, interactive tasks where the user is watching the terminal — the notify is noise. ## Prerequisites The CLI must be installed and authenticated: ```bash npx @sendblue/cli whoami # confirms creds # or, if first run: npx @sendblue/cli setup ``` The user's phone number must be a verified contact on the

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill sendblue-notify --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.
