+# Common Patterns
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers typical workflows for AI agents interacting with Cisco Webex using `agent-webexbot`.
+
+**Note**: Webex uses opaque Base64-encoded IDs for spaces, messages, and people. You can't guess them. Always get IDs from `space list` first. The bot can only interact with spaces it has been added to.
+
+## Auth Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Authenticate
+
+**Use case**: First-time setup
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Set bot token (validates against Webex API)
+agent-webexbot auth set YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
+
+# Or with a custom identifier for multi-bot setups
+agent-webexbot auth set YOUR_BOT_TOKEN --bot deploy
+```
+
+**When to use**: Before any other command, if not already authenticated.
+
+### Pattern 2: Check Auth Status
+
+**Use case**: Verify authentication before running operations
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+STATUS=$(agent-webexbot auth status)
+
+if echo "$STATUS" | jq -e '.error' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+  echo "Not authenticated. Run 'auth set <token>' first."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+BOT_NAME=$(echo "$STATUS" | jq -r '.bot_name')
+echo "Authenticated as: $BOT_NAME"
+```
+
+**When to use**: Start of any script or workflow.
+
+## Space Patterns
+
+### Pattern 3: List All Spaces
+
+**Use case**: Discover spaces the bot is a member of
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# List all spaces
+SPACES=$(agent-webexbot space list)
+echo "$SPACES" | jq -r '.spaces[] | "\(.title) (\(.id))"'
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Filter Spaces by Type
+
+**Use case**: Show only group spaces or direct messages
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Group spaces only
+agent-webexbot space list --type group
+
+# Direct messages only
+agent-webexbot space list --type direct
+
+# Limit results
+agent-webexbot space list --type group --max 10
+```
+
+### Pattern 5: Get Space Info
+
+**Use case**: Look up details for a specific space
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+INFO=$(agent-webexbot space info "$SPACE_ID")
+TITLE=$(echo "$INFO" | jq -r '.title')
+TYPE=$(echo "$INFO" | jq -r '.type')
+
+echo "Space: $TITLE ($TYPE)"
+```
+
+### Pattern 6: Find Space by Title
+
+**Use case**: Get a space ID from its title
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+find_space_id() {
+  local title=$1
+
+  SPACES=$(agent-webexbot space list)
+  SPACE_ID=$(echo "$SPACES" | jq -r --arg t "$title" '.spaces[] | select(.title==$t) | .id')
+
+  if [ -z "$SPACE_ID" ]; then
+    echo "Space '$title' not found" >&2
+    return 1
+  fi
+
+  echo "$SPACE_ID"
+}
+
+# Usage
+ENG_ID=$(find_space_id "Engineering")
+if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
+  agent-webexbot message send "$ENG_ID" "Hello Engineering!"
+fi
+```
+
+**When to use**: When you know the space title but need the ID.
+
+## Message Patterns
+
+### Pattern 7: Send a Simple Message
+
+**Use case**: Post a notification or update
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+RESULT=$(agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Deployment completed successfully!")
+
+if echo "$RESULT" | jq -e '.id' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+  echo "Message sent!"
+else
+  echo "Failed: $(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.error')"
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Pattern 8: Send a Markdown Message
+
+**Use case**: Rich formatting in messages
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "**Build Status**
+- Branch: \`main\`
+- Tests: 142 passed, 0 failed
+- Coverage: 94.2%" --markdown
+```
+
+### Pattern 9: Send a Direct Message
+
+**Use case**: Message someone directly by email, without finding a space ID first
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Send a DM by email
+agent-webexbot message dm alice@example.com "Hey, quick question about the PR"
+
+# Send a DM with markdown
+agent-webexbot message dm alice@example.com "**Build failed** - can you check?" --markdown
+```
+
+**When to use**: Quick 1:1 messages when you know the recipient's email.
+
+### Pattern 10: Send and Track a Message
+
+**Use case**: Send a message and save its ID for later editing
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+# Send initial status
+RESULT=$(agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Deploying v2.1.0...")
+MSG_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.id')
+
+# ... do work ...
+sleep 5
+
+# Update the message with final status
+agent-webexbot message edit "$MSG_ID" "$SPACE_ID" "Deployed v2.1.0 successfully!"
+```
+
+### Pattern 11: List Recent Messages
+
+**Use case**: Read conversation history
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+# Get last 10 messages
+MESSAGES=$(agent-webexbot message list "$SPACE_ID" --max 10)
+
+echo "$MESSAGES" | jq -r '.messages[] | "[\(.created)] \(.personEmail): \(.text)"'
+```
+
+### Pattern 12: Delete a Message
+
+**Use case**: Remove a message the bot sent
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+MESSAGE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+agent-webexbot message delete "$MESSAGE_ID"
+```
+
+## Member Patterns
+
+### Pattern 13: List Space Members
+
+**Use case**: See who's in a space
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+MEMBERS=$(agent-webexbot member list "$SPACE_ID")
+echo "$MEMBERS" | jq -r '.members[] | "\(.personDisplayName) (\(.personEmail))"'
+```
+
+### Pattern 14: Find a Specific Member
+
+**Use case**: Look up a person in a space
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+SEARCH_NAME="alice"
+
+MEMBERS=$(agent-webexbot member list "$SPACE_ID")
+MATCH=$(echo "$MEMBERS" | jq -r --arg name "$SEARCH_NAME" \
+  'first(.members[] | select(.personDisplayName | ascii_downcase | contains($name | ascii_downcase)))')
+
+if [ -z "$MATCH" ] || [ "$MATCH" = "null" ]; then
+  echo "No member matching '$SEARCH_NAME'"
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+echo "Found: $(echo "$MATCH" | jq -r '.personDisplayName') ($(echo "$MATCH" | jq -r '.personEmail'))"
+```
+
+## Real-Time Event Patterns
+
+### Pattern 15: Stream All Events
+
+**Use case**: Monitor a bot's activity in real time
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Stream events as NDJSON (Ctrl+C to stop)
+agent-webexbot listen
+```
+
+### Pattern 16: Filter to Specific Events
+
+**Use case**: Only care about new messages
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+agent-webexbot listen --events message_created
+```
+
+### Pattern 17: React to Messages
+
+**Use case**: Respond to keywords in real time
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+agent-webexbot listen --events message_created | while read -r line; do
+  TEXT=$(echo "$line" | jq -r '.payload.text // ""')
+  SPACE=$(echo "$line" | jq -r '.payload.roomId // ""')
+
+  if echo "$TEXT" | grep -qi "status"; then
+    agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE" "All systems operational."
+  fi
+
+  if echo "$TEXT" | grep -qi "help"; then
+    agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE" "Available commands: \`status\`, \`help\`"
+  fi
+done
+```
+
+### Pattern 18: Log Events to File
+
+**Use case**: Audit trail of bot activity
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+LOG_FILE="/var/log/webexbot-events.ndjson"
+
+agent-webexbot listen >> "$LOG_FILE"
+```
+
+## Pipeline Patterns
+
+### Pattern 19: Send to Multiple Spaces
+
+**Use case**: Broadcast a message across spaces
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+MESSAGE="System maintenance in 30 minutes"
+SPACE_NAMES=("Engineering" "Product" "General")
+
+# Get all spaces once
+SPACES=$(agent-webexbot space list)
+
+for name in "${SPACE_NAMES[@]}"; do
+  SPACE_ID=$(echo "$SPACES" | jq -r --arg t "$name" '.spaces[] | select(.title==$t) | .id')
+
+  if [ -z "$SPACE_ID" ]; then
+    echo "Space '$name' not found, skipping"
+    continue
+  fi
+
+  echo "Posting to $name..."
+  RESULT=$(agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "$MESSAGE")
+
+  if echo "$RESULT" | jq -e '.id' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+    echo "  Sent to $name"
+  else
+    echo "  Failed: $(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.error')"
+  fi
+
+  # Rate limit: don't spam the API
+  sleep 1
+done
+```
+
+### Pattern 20: Conditional Messaging
+
+**Use case**: Send different messages based on conditions
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+BUILD_STATUS=$1  # "success" or "failure"
+
+if [ "$BUILD_STATUS" = "success" ]; then
+  agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Build passed. All tests green." --markdown
+else
+  agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "**Build failed.** Check CI logs for details." --markdown
+fi
+```
+
+### Pattern 21: Error Handling with Retry
+
+**Use case**: Robust message sending for production scripts
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+send_with_retry() {
+  local space_id=$1
+  local message=$2
+  local max_attempts=3
+  local attempt=1
+
+  while [ $attempt -le $max_attempts ]; do
+    RESULT=$(agent-webexbot message send "$space_id" "$message")
+
+    if echo "$RESULT" | jq -e '.id' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+      echo "Message sent successfully!"
+      return 0
+    fi
+
+    ERROR=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.error // "Unknown error"')
+    echo "Attempt $attempt failed: $ERROR"
+
+    # Don't retry on auth errors
+    if echo "$ERROR" | grep -qi "401\|unauthorized\|not authenticated\|no credentials"; then
+      echo "Authentication error. Fix credentials and try again."
+      return 1
+    fi
+
+    # Don't retry on not-found errors
+    if echo "$ERROR" | grep -qi "not found\|404"; then
+      echo "Resource not found. Check your IDs."
+      return 1
+    fi
+
+    if [ $attempt -lt $max_attempts ]; then
+      SLEEP_TIME=$((attempt * 2))
+      echo "Retrying in ${SLEEP_TIME}s..."
+      sleep $SLEEP_TIME
+    fi
+
+    attempt=$((attempt + 1))
+  done
+
+  echo "Failed after $max_attempts attempts"
+  return 1
+}
+
+# Usage
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+send_with_retry "$SPACE_ID" "Important notification!"
+```
+
+### Pattern 22: Daily Summary Report
+
+**Use case**: Generate a workspace activity summary
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+# Get recent messages
+MESSAGES=$(agent-webexbot message list "$SPACE_ID" --max 50)
+MSG_COUNT=$(echo "$MESSAGES" | jq '.messages | length')
+
+# Get members
+MEMBERS=$(agent-webexbot member list "$SPACE_ID")
+MEMBER_COUNT=$(echo "$MEMBERS" | jq '.members | length')
+
+# Get unique authors from recent messages
+AUTHORS=$(echo "$MESSAGES" | jq -r '[.messages[].personEmail] | unique | length')
+
+SUMMARY="**Daily Summary**
+- Messages (last 50): $MSG_COUNT
+- Active authors: $AUTHORS
+- Total members: $MEMBER_COUNT"
+
+agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "$SUMMARY" --markdown
+```
+
+### Pattern 23: Multi-Bot Deployment Workflow
+
+**Use case**: Use different bots for different environments
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+ENVIRONMENT=$1  # "staging" or "production"
+SPACE_ID="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."
+
+if [ "$ENVIRONMENT" = "production" ]; then
+  agent-webexbot --bot prod-alerts message send "$SPACE_ID" "Production deploy started"
+else
+  agent-webexbot --bot staging-alerts message send "$SPACE_ID" "Staging deploy started"
+fi
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Check for Success
+
+```bash
+# Good
+RESULT=$(agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Hello")
+if echo "$RESULT" | jq -e '.id' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+  echo "Success!"
+else
+  echo "Failed: $(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.error')"
+fi
+
+# Bad
+agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Hello"  # No error checking
+```
+
+### 2. Cache Space Lists
+
+```bash
+# Good - fetch once, reuse
+SPACES=$(agent-webexbot space list)
+for title in "${SPACE_TITLES[@]}"; do
+  id=$(echo "$SPACES" | jq -r --arg t "$title" '.spaces[] | select(.title==$t) | .id')
+  agent-webexbot message send "$id" "$MESSAGE"
+done
+
+# Bad - fetch repeatedly
+for title in "${SPACE_TITLES[@]}"; do
+  SPACES=$(agent-webexbot space list)  # Wasteful!
+  id=$(echo "$SPACES" | jq -r --arg t "$title" '.spaces[] | select(.title==$t) | .id')
+  agent-webexbot message send "$id" "$MESSAGE"
+done
+```
+
+### 3. Rate Limit Your Requests
+
+```bash
+# Good - respect Webex API limits (~600 req/min)
+for space_id in "${SPACE_IDS[@]}"; do
+  agent-webexbot message send "$space_id" "$MESSAGE"
+  sleep 1
+done
+
+# Bad - rapid-fire requests
+for space_id in "${SPACE_IDS[@]}"; do
+  agent-webexbot message send "$space_id" "$MESSAGE"
+done
+```
+
+### 4. Use the Listen Command for Real-Time Needs
+
+```bash
+# Good - event-driven, no polling
+agent-webexbot listen --events message_created | while read -r line; do
+  # handle event
+done
+
+# Bad - polling wastes API quota and adds latency
+while true; do
+  agent-webexbot message list "$SPACE_ID" --max 1
+  sleep 5
+done
+```
+
+### 5. Don't Spam Spaces
+
+```bash
+# Bad - sends 100 messages
+for i in {1..100}; do
+  agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Item $i"
+done
+
+# Good - batch into single message
+MESSAGE="Updates:"
+for i in {1..100}; do
+  MESSAGE="$MESSAGE\n$i. Item $i"
+done
+agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "$MESSAGE"
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+### Don't Ignore Auth Errors
+
+```bash
+# Bad
+agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Hello"
+# Continues even if not authenticated
+
+# Good
+RESULT=$(agent-webexbot message send "$SPACE_ID" "Hello")
+if echo "$RESULT" | grep -qi "401\|unauthorized\|no credentials"; then
+  echo "Auth failed. Run 'auth set <token>' to re-authenticate."
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Don't Hardcode IDs Without Context
+
+```bash
+# Bad - mystery ID
+agent-webexbot message send "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..." "Hello"
+
+# Good - document what the ID refers to
+ENGINEERING_SPACE="Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL..."  # Engineering space
+agent-webexbot message send "$ENGINEERING_SPACE" "Hello"
+```
+
+### Don't Use agent-webexbot for User-Level Access
+
+```bash
+# Wrong tool for the job
+agent-webexbot auth set YOUR_USER_TOKEN  # Will fail - not a bot token
+
+# Right tool
+agent-webex auth login  # For user-level access
+```
