# TextMe ## Overview [`njerschow/textme`](https://github.com/njerschow/textme) is a local daemon that bridges inbound iMessages (via [Sendblue](https://sendblue.com)) to a Claude Code session on the user's machine. Whitelisted phone numbers can text, send voice notes, send images, and drive Claude through filesystem operations, code execution, and `cd`-based directory navigation — turning the user's phone into a remote control for Claude on their laptop. This is the **inbound** counterpart to outbound notification patterns ([[sendblue-notify]]): textme is phone → Claude; sendblue-notify is Claude → phone. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user says "text Claude", "text my laptop", "drive Claude from my phone", "I want to send iMessages to Claude", or "let me code from my phone". - Use when the user is heads-down away from their desk and wants to kick off, supervise, or interrupt a Claude session via SMS/iMessage. - Use when setting up a long-running headless workstation that the user wants to remote-control while travelling or away from the keyboard. - Pair with [[sendblue-notify]] for bidirectional flow — outbound completion pings + inbound commands on the same Sendblue acc

What does the textme skill do?
Text Claude from your phone — set up the njerschow/textme daemon so inbound iMessages drive a Claude Code session on your laptop, with voice notes, image input, code execution, and a phone-number whitelist.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill textme --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.
