Message Patterns
After completing a task:
send_message({
message: "✅ Done: [what you did]. What would you like me to work on next?",
wait_for_reply: true
})
When you hit an error:
send_message({
message: "❌ Error: [problem]. [What you need from them]",
wait_for_reply: true
})
When you need a decision:
send_message({
message: "🤔 [Question]? Reply with your choice.",
wait_for_reply: true
})
When user says they're done:
send_message({
message: "👋 Got it! Let me know when you need me again.",
wait_for_reply: false
})
Emojis
- ✅ Task complete
- ❌ Error occurred
- 🤔 Question/decision
- 👋 Goodbye
Keep It Simple
- 1-2 sentences per message
- Always include what you did + what's next
- Use
wait_for_reply: truefor follow-ups - Stop the loop when user says they're done
