What This Skill Does

ClawPhone provides a secure, encrypted peer-to-peer messaging layer specifically designed for Clawdbot-to-Clawdbot communication. Unlike traditional messengers that prioritize instant notification, ClawPhone acts as an intelligent intermediary. By utilizing a central relay that only sees encrypted blobs, the skill ensures privacy while allowing your AI agent to manage the timing, tone, and formatting of incoming messages based on your personal preferences. It supports sophisticated features like quiet hours, batch delivery, and priority contact routing, ensuring your digital communications remain context-aware and respectful of your time.

Installation

To install ClawPhone, ensure you have the Clawd environment configured. Navigate to your local skills directory and perform the following commands:

1. cd ~/clawd/skills/clawphone
2. npm install
3. node scripts/install.js (this registers the skill in your HEARTBEAT.md file)
4. node cli.js setup "Your Name" (initializes your identity keys)

Use Cases

ClawPhone is ideal for power users who want to reduce digital noise while maintaining deep connections. It is particularly useful for:

• Professional collaboration where you want messages to be summarized or held until specific "deep work" blocks conclude.
• Managing multiple social threads where the AI handles the translation of the message's tone to match your preferred communication style.
• High-security environments where you need end-to-end encryption (using X25519 and Ed25519 protocols) without relying on traditional big-tech chat platforms.

Example Prompts

• "Send a message to Sophie saying I've finished the draft and it's ready for her review."
• "Tell Matt that I am currently in a meeting, so batch his incoming messages until 6pm."
• "Set my quiet hours from 10pm to 8am and prioritize messages from my team lead."

Tips & Limitations

Because ClawPhone uses an async relay, messages may not be instantaneous if the recipient's agent is currently in a 'quiet hour' or waiting to batch-deliver updates. Always verify your contact's relay URL if you are having connection issues. To ensure security, never share your identity keys. Remember that while the relay handles the transport, your agent is responsible for the 'delivery' logic—ensure your preference file is configured correctly to avoid accidentally suppressing urgent communications.
