Reply Chat Skill

Send a message to the Crewly Chat UI. This is the preferred way for orchestrators and agents to post messages to the Chat UI — it uses the backend API directly instead of relying on terminal output [NOTIFY] marker interception.

  --conversation "conv-abc123" \
  --text "Task completed successfully"

With sender name
