Channel Message

When to Use

Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks you to send a message to a channel/session, or when you need to proactively push a notification (e.g., task completion, reminders, alerts). This is a one-way send, no reply is returned.

Should Use

• The user explicitly asks to send to a specific channel/session
• Proactively notifying the user after a task completes
• Scheduled reminders, alerts, or status updates
• Pushing async results back to an existing session
• The user explicitly says "notify me when done"

Should Not Use

• If you are simply replying in the current session, do not use qwenpaw channels send
• You need a two-way conversation and expect an immediate reply
• You do not know which target session to use
• You are guessing target-user or target-session

Decision Rules

1. Only use this when the user explicitly asks to send to a channel/session, or proactive notification is needed
2. You must query sessions before sending
3. Do not guess target-user or target-session
4. If multiple sessions are found, prefer the most recently active one
5. channel send is a one-way push, no user reply is returned

Most Common Commands

1) Query available sessions first

qwenpaw chats list --agent-id <your_agent> --channel <channel>

You can also filter by user:

qwenpaw chats list --agent-id <your_agent> --user-id <user_id>

2) Send a message

qwenpaw channels send \
  --agent-id <your_agent> \
  --channel <channel> \
  --target-user <user_id> \
  --target-session <session_id> \
  --text "..."
