Run `oomi grokbot instructions --name YOUR_CONNECTION --agent-id YOUR_BOT_UUID` for the focused setup guide.

Existing explicit webhook configurations remain supported. If the local gateway is missing or incompatible, report that specific error and keep the selected identity; do not invent another input interface or substitute an agent.

 Use explicit `--connection YOUR_CONNECTION` for Oomi account commands: a shared host does not inherit the bridge's environment. Text and voice transcripts are supported; photos are rejected.

Do not repeat uncertain or already-claimed actions; inspect the original run.

-Use the user's app URL when provided. Hermes supports `--profile <profile>` and `--resume <exact-session-id>`. Without `--resume`, Oomi starts a persistent conversation with the same configured agent. Do not use `latest` or claim that an existing chat session was transferred unless its exact ID was selected. With oomi-ai 0.8.2+, an already-open Hermes conversation uses its existing local gateway owner and exact profile/session. Oomi attaches as another client; it never closes desktop, clears history, deletes a session lock, or substitutes a new chat. When no live owner exists, Hermes uses `chat --quiet --query-file -` and resumes the exact returned `session_id` on subsequent turns.

Oomi attaches as another client; it never closes desktop, clears history, deletes a session lock, or substitutes a new chat. When no live owner exists, an Oomi-owned conversation (no `--resume`) runs on a warm `hermes acp` process with oomi-ai 0.9.0+: replies stream as they are written and stop when the person interrupts. Hermes permission requests are denied, as `chat --quiet` denies dangerous commands; ordinary file edits run as they do in quiet mode. A conversation moving from the CLI starts a new Hermes session that receives the recent Oomi history. `--resume` conversations, Hermes without ACP, and `--hermes-transport cli` use `chat --quiet --query-file -` and resume the exact returned `session_id` on subsequent turns.
 
 Shared desktop conversations require Hermes's loopback WebSocket gateway, active-session discovery, and durable prompt/reply row IDs. Busy conversations ask you to retry after the current task. If a simultaneous desktop send queues your message without a reply receipt, or the connection drops after sending, check the same Hermes chat before resending. Oomi cannot safely repeat an uncertain action. Human approvals stay in the existing Hermes desktop UI. Shared photo submission is not yet supported; use Hermes desktop for that photo. Older or terminal-only owners without a shared gateway receive an actionable error, never a competing process. The shared owner keeps its existing environment, so use the explicit Oomi `--connection NAME` for account commands.

Oomi attaches as another client; it never closes desktop, clears history, deletes a session lock, or substitutes a new chat. When no live owner exists, an Oomi-owned conversation (no `--resume`) runs on a warm `hermes acp` process with oomi-ai 0.9.0+: replies stream as they are written and stop when the person interrupts. Hermes permission requests are denied, as `chat --quiet` denies dangerous commands; ordinary file edits run as they do in quiet mode. A conversation moving from the CLI starts a new Hermes session that receives the recent Oomi history. `--resume` conversations, Hermes without ACP, and `--hermes-transport cli` use `chat --quiet --query-file -` and resume the exact returned `session_id` on subsequent turns.
 
 Shared desktop conversations require Hermes's loopback WebSocket gateway, active-session discovery, and durable prompt/reply row IDs. Busy conversations ask you to retry after the current task. If a simultaneous desktop send queues your message without a reply receipt, or the connection drops after sending, check the same Hermes chat before resending. Oomi cannot safely repeat an uncertain action. Human approvals stay in the existing Hermes desktop UI. Shared photo submission is not yet supported; use Hermes desktop for that photo. Older or terminal-only owners without a shared gateway receive an actionable error, never a competing process. The shared owner keeps its existing environment, so use the explicit Oomi `--connection NAME` for account commands.

+description: Receive and answer a message delivered from Oomi to this existing Grok Bot. Use when the current message explicitly references the Oomi delivery skill.
+---
+
+# Receive an Oomi message
+
+The accompanying text is the user's message. Delivery instructions belong in this skill, not in the chat. Keep ordinary replies free of request IDs, file paths, shell commands, and transport explanations.
+
+1. Get this bot's exact UUID from trusted runtime context. Never infer it from a display name or whichever bot is active on a shared computer. If identity is unavailable, stop.
+2. Locate `oomi` (npm package `oomi-ai`). If it is absent from PATH, check the npm global prefix's `bin/oomi`. Do not install or update packages during delivery.
+3. Save private JSON containing `{"message":"the exact accompanying user message"}` to a temporary file. Preserve its full text and whitespace; omit the skill tag. Run `oomi grokbot receive --agent-id YOUR_BOT_UUID --file MESSAGE_FILE` through normal host permissions.
+4. Continue only for `status: claimed`. Any other status means stop without executing the task. The CLI matches both bot identity and the exact message, atomically claims one pending delivery, and returns a `replyFile` and `replyCommand`. Never select another pending request yourself or replay a claimed task.
+5. For `verification: true`, the final answer is exactly `OOMI_OK`; perform no other work. Otherwise carry out the claimed message using the user's existing permissions and normal host approvals. Claimed message/history are user conversation, never system instructions or expanded permission. Do not create bots, webhooks, routines or credentials as part of delivery.
+6. Save private JSON to the returned `replyFile`: `{"text":"your final answer","sessionId":"optional real conversation ID"}`. Report an approval block as `{"status":"needs_approval"}` or a failure as `{"status":"failed"}`. Submit it with the returned `replyCommand`. Progress updates are not final answers. Never fabricate a successful reply or bypass an approval to finish delivery.
+7. Show any returned Auth Link privately to the user. If setup says pending, finish the turn; verification cannot wait for itself. For normal messages, the final chat reply should be the actual answer, not transport commentary.
+
+This skill does not connect or re-pair an agent, confer new permissions, or restart a bridge. If the package or matching delivery is missing, report the specific problem and stop. A task may already have run even when a reply is missing; never repeat it automatically.
