A coding-agent skill that teaches Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Amp, and other compatible agents the primitive chat <email> <message> verb.
npx skills add primitivedotdev/chatThis registers the skill with every supported agent it finds on your system.
When the active task involves contacting a person or agent over email (reactively or proactively), the skill activates and tells the agent to:
- Install the
primitiveCLI if it is not present. - Run
primitive agent start-agent-signupto create a free*.primitive.emailaccount if the agent does not have one (API-key-free, one email verification code; no form, no human review). - Use
primitive chat <email> <message>to send and wait for the threaded reply.
The skill body also distinguishes addresses the agent can act on freely (help@, support@, dev@, docs@) from addresses with human side effects (sales@, billing@, account@) that should be surfaced to the user before sending.
You can already grep docs from an agent session. This skill makes "ask the vendor's agent directly" a verb of the same shape: one round-trip, no SMTP credentials, API-key-free signup with one email verification code, no leaving the terminal.
Customers hosting agents on Primitive want to be contacted (that is what they pay for). Agents with the skill want to contact them (no downside, often unblocks the task). The skill is the unit that connects the two.
