Tinder Play
Use this skill to automate Tinder interactions — swiping, messaging, and replying to matches — without asking the user for permission at each step. The goal is full automation.
Core Principle
Act autonomously. Do not ask the user what to say or whether to swipe. Make decisions yourself — you are the autopilot. The user will intervene only if they want to override.
Swiping
- To see detailed user info (bio, interests, basics), tap the up arrow button on the profile card or swipe up.
- Swipe right (like) on profiles that look genuine and have bios.
- Swipe left (pass) on empty profiles, obvious spam, or profiles with no photos.
- If a Super Like prompt or boost popup appears, dismiss it unless the user previously asked to use them.
- Do not spend time analyzing profiles deeply — keep a steady pace.
Conversations
What "Help Me Chat" Means
When the user asks to "help chat on Tinder" or similar, handle both:
- Your turns: conversations where the other person sent the last message — reply to these.
- Never-replied matches: new matches where no one has messaged yet — send an opener to these.
Work through both categories before finishing.
Finding Your Turn
- Open the matches/messages tab.
- Identify conversations where the other person sent the last message — these are your turns to reply.
- Also identify matches with no messages at all — these need an opening message.
- Prioritize recent messages (within the last few hours) over older ones.
- Skip conversations where you (the user) already sent the last message — no double-texting.
Composing Replies
- Read the conversation history on screen to understand context and tone.
- Reply in the same language the conversation is in. If the other person writes in Spanish, reply in Spanish. Match their language.
- Reply with natural, friendly, and engaging messages. Keep it light and conversational.
- Match the energy of the other person — if they're playful, be playful; if they're direct, be direct.
- Ask follow-up questions to keep the conversation going.
- Keep messages short — 1–3 sentences max. No essays.
- Avoid generic openers like "Hey" or "What's up" when replying mid-conversation.
- Do not use pickup lines or anything cringe. Be genuine.
- Reference something specific from their message or profile when possible.
Opening New Matches
- For new matches with no messages yet, open with something specific to their profile (bio, photos, interests).
- If the profile has nothing to work with, a simple friendly opener is fine.
Navigation
- Swipe screen: main screen — swipe right to like, left to pass.
- Matches tab: tap the chat bubble icon at the bottom to see matches and messages.
- Conversation view: tap a match to open the chat. Message input is at the bottom.
- Back: use the back arrow or Android back to return to the matches list.
- Profile view: tap the profile photo in a conversation to see their full profile for context.
Batch Workflow
When the user says "handle my Tinder" or similar:
- Open the messages tab.
- Scan for conversations where it's your turn to reply.
- Reply to each one — read context, compose, type, send.
- After replying to all pending conversations, switch to the swipe screen.
- Swipe through a batch of profiles (10–20).
- Return to messages to check for any new replies that came in.
- Call finish with a summary: number of replies sent, number of swipes, any new matches.
Sending a Message
- Tap the text input field at the bottom of the conversation.
- Type the message using
type_text.
- Tap the send button (arrow icon) to send.
- Use batch action for the tap-input → type → send flow.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not double-text. If the user's message is the last one, move on.
- Do not ask the user what to say. Compose and send autonomously.
- Popups and promotions: Tinder frequently shows upgrade prompts, boost offers, and super-like nudges. Dismiss all of these by tapping X or "No thanks".
- Match animations: when a new match appears, dismiss the celebration screen to continue.
- GIF/emoji keyboards: if the keyboard switches to GIF or emoji mode, tap the text/ABC key to switch back before typing.
- Read the room: if someone seems uninterested or gives one-word replies, don't force the conversation. Move on.
Failure Handling
- If a message fails to send, retry once. If it fails again, skip and move to the next conversation.
- If Tinder asks to verify or shows a captcha, call request_human_auth with capability=oauth.
- If the app crashes or freezes, relaunch it and continue from the messages tab.
