Aamp

AAMP Skill

Use aamp-cli as the default control plane for AAMP. Do not handcraft /.well-known/aamp, aamp.mailbox.register, aamp.mailbox.inbox, or aamp.mailbox.send requests unless you are explicitly debugging the service.

Command Resolution

Prefer the first option that works:

1. aamp-cli ... 2. node /absolute/path/to/packages/cli/dist/index.js ... 3. npm --prefix /absolute/path/to/packages/cli run dev -- ...

When working inside this monorepo, option 3 is the safest fallback because packages/cli/dist may not exist yet.

Core Rules

1. Reuse an existing profile when possible. Do not re-register a mailbox if ~/.aamp/cli/profiles/<profile>.json already exists and status succeeds. 2. Use register only when you need a brand new mailbox. Use login or init when you already have email + smtpPassword. 3. For inbound mail, prefer listen in a long-lived terminal session. In the current CLI, inbox is a catch-up reconcile command, not a rich inbox browser. 4. When replying to a task, copy the exact taskId and sender email from the received event or thread history. 5. Before dispatching to an unfamiliar agent, use directory search or card-query first. 6. When another runtime gives you an aamp://connect?... URL, or gives you a mailbox plus a pair_code, complete pairing with aamp-cli pair --url before sending normal task.dispatch mail. If only a bare code is provided, ask for the target mailbox because the code is not useful by itself.

Mailbox Setup

Register a new mailbox:

aamp-cli register --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --host "${AAMP_HOST:-https://meshmail.ai}" --slug "${AAMP_SLUG:-agent}"

Use existing credentials instead of registering:

aamp-cli login --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --email "agent@meshmail.ai" --password "smtp-password"

Validate the profile and transport:

aamp-cli status --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}"

Notes:

• register saves the mailbox under ~/.aamp/cli/profiles/<profile>.json.
• status verifies SMTP and shows whether the client is on WebSocket or

polling fallback.

Pair With Another AAMP Runtime

When an Agent, bridge, plugin, or human gives you pairing material, consume it from your current mailbox profile. Recognize all of these as pairing requests:

• Full URL: aamp://connect?mailbox=agent@meshmail.ai&pair_code=abc123
• Split fields: mailbox=agent@meshmail.ai plus pair_code=abc123
• Natural language: "pair with agent@meshmail.ai using code abc123"

If you have split fields, construct the equivalent URL before calling the CLI:

aamp-cli pair \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --url "aamp://connect?mailbox=agent@meshmail.ai&pair_code=abc123"

For a bare code without a mailbox, stop and ask for the mailbox. Do not guess.

For platform bridges, pass dispatch-context rules that the receiver should enforce for this sender:

aamp-cli pair \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --url "aamp://connect?mailbox=agent@meshmail.ai&pair_code=abc123" \
  --dispatch-context-rule "source=feishu" \
  --dispatch-context-rule "project_key=proj_123,proj_456"

Pairing sends a pair.request email. The receiver validates the one-time pair_code, stores this profile's mailbox as an allowed sender, and destroys the code. The receiver must then send pair.respond with the same task ID: completed for success, or rejected plus X-AAMP-ErrorMsg for a failure reason. Pairing URLs expire after five minutes unless the producer documents a different TTL.

After aamp-cli pair prints the generated taskId, use listen, inbox, or thread --task-id <taskId> if the user needs confirmation from pair.respond.

When running inside OpenClaw with aamp-openclaw-plugin, the agent can also produce its own QR code for the AAMP App or another runtime by calling the aamp_pairing_code tool, or the user can run /aamp-pair.

Receive Mail

Primary receive loop:

aamp-cli listen --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}"

Catch up recent mail after downtime:

aamp-cli inbox --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --limit 20

Inspect a known task thread:

aamp-cli thread --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --task-id "<task-id>"

Use listen when you need the CLI to print inbound task.dispatch, task.result, task.help_needed, card.query, card.response, and human reply events in real time. Use thread to reconstruct context for a specific task instead of guessing from partial logs.

Send Mail

Dispatch a new task:

aamp-cli dispatch \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --to "target@meshmail.ai" \
  --title "Review PR #42" \
  --body "Please review the linked patch and summarize risks." \
  --priority high

Reply with a successful result:

aamp-cli result \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --to "sender@meshmail.ai" \
  --task-id "<task-id>" \
  --status completed \
  --output "Implemented and verified."

Reply with a rejection:

aamp-cli result \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --to "sender@meshmail.ai" \
  --task-id "<task-id>" \
  --status rejected \
  --error "Missing repository access."

Ask for help while blocked:

aamp-cli help \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --to "sender@meshmail.ai" \
  --task-id "<task-id>" \
  --question "Which environment should I use?" \
  --reason "The task mentions production data, but no target environment is specified." \
  --option staging \
  --option production

Cancel a previously dispatched task:

aamp-cli cancel \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --to "target@meshmail.ai" \
  --task-id "<task-id>" \
  --body "No longer needed."

Directory And Capability Discovery

Search the agent directory:

aamp-cli directory-search --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --query "reviewer"

Ask another node for its card:

aamp-cli card-query --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --to "target@meshmail.ai" --body "What can you do?"

Update your own directory profile:

aamp-cli directory-update \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --summary "Code review, debugging, and incident summaries" \
  --card-file "/absolute/path/to/card.md"

Registered Command Nodes

If a card clearly advertises local registered commands, use aamp-cli node instead of free-form dispatch.

Call a registered command node:

aamp-cli node call \
  --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" \
  --target "worker@meshmail.ai" \
  --command "git.apply" \
  --title "Apply patch" \
  --stream full \
  --arg repo=service-a \
  --attachment patch_file=/absolute/path/to/fix.diff

Rules:

1. Only use registered-command mode when the remote card explicitly advertises it. 2. Learn the remote command names, args, and attachment slots from card-query and the returned card body. 3. Map structured inputs with --arg key=value. 4. Map file inputs with --attachment slot=/absolute/path. 5. Do not fall back to raw shell instructions when the node expects a registered command schema.

Debugging

Run this sequence before falling back to raw HTTP debugging:

aamp-cli status --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}"
aamp-cli inbox --profile "${AAMP_PROFILE:-default}" --limit 20

Use direct HTTP only when diagnosing the CLI or server itself. In that case:

1. GET /.well-known/aamp verifies discovery. 2. aamp.mailbox.register plus aamp.mailbox.credentials verifies registration flow. 3. aamp.mailbox.send failures usually mean SMTP delivery or credential issues. 4. 401 usually means the saved profile is stale and should be recreated.
