signal-cli

# signal-cli (Signal Messaging) Use the local `signal-cli` binary. ## Preconditions - `signal-cli` is installed and already linked/registered. - For safety: confirm recipient + final message text with the user before sending. ## Quick patterns ### Discover available accounts ```bash signal-cli listAccounts ``` ### List contacts (JSON) ```bash signal-cli -o json -u "+386..." listContacts ``` ### Find a contact by name/nickname/number Prefer the bundled script (handles fuzzy-ish matching + multiple matches): ```bash python3 scripts/find_contact.py --account "+386..." --query "Name" ``` ### Send a message Prefer the bundled script (resolves contact names to numbers): ```bash python3 scripts/send_message.py --account "+386..." --to "Name" --text "Heyo ..." ``` If `--to` is already a phone number in E.164 (e.g. `+386...`), it sends directly. ## Safety checklist (always) - If resolving by name returns multiple matches, present options and ask the user which one. - If message contains sensitive info, ask explicitly before sending via Signal. - Default to `--service-environment live` (signal-cli default) and normal trust behavior.
