# Messages Ops

Use this when the task is live-message retrieval: iMessage, DMs, recent one-time codes, or thread inspection before a follow-up.

This is not email work. If the dominant surface is a mailbox, use `email-ops`.

## Skill Stack

Pull these ECC-native skills into the workflow when relevant:

- `email-ops` when the message task is really mailbox work
- `connections-optimizer` when the DM thread belongs to outbound network work
- `lead-intelligence` when the live thread should inform targeting or warm-path outreach
- `knowledge-ops` when the thread contents need to be captured into durable context

## When to Use

- user says "read my messages", "check texts", "look in DMs", or "find the code"
- the task depends on a live thread or a recent code delivered to a local messaging surface
- the user wants proof of which source or thread was inspected

## Guardrails

- resolve the source first:
  - local messages
  - X / social DM
  - another browser-gated message surface
- do not claim a thread was checked without naming the source
- do not improvise raw database access if a checked helper or standard path exists
- if auth or MFA blocks the surface, report the exact blocker

## Workflow

### 1. Resolve the exact thread

Before doing anything else, settle:

- message surface
- sender / recipient / service
- time window
- whether the task is retrieval, inspection, or prep for a reply

### 2. Read before drafting

If the task may turn into an outbound follow-up:

- read the latest inbound
- identify the open loop
- then hand off to the correct outbound skill if needed

### 3. Handle codes as a focused retrieval task

For one-time codes:

- search the recent local message window first
- narrow by service or sender when possible
- stop once the code is found or the focused search is exhausted

## Exemplo

```text
"Cadê o código do banco?": janela local recente → filtra remetente → código achado
Resposta cita fonte exata (surface + thread + hora); sem fonte = não foi checado
MFA bloqueou? reporta o blocker exato em vez de improvisar acesso ao banco
```
