reply-remote

Reply to a message received from another Crewly machine via Cloud.

When to use

Use this skill when you receive a [REMOTE:deviceId:deviceName] tagged message and need to send a response back to the originating device. This is the cross-machine equivalent of reply-slack.

Usage

# Reply to a specific device
bash execute.sh --device <deviceId> --message "Task completed successfully"

# With device name (for logging)
bash execute.sh --device <deviceId> --device-name "iriss-air.lan" --message "Tests passed"

Extracting device info

When you receive a message like:

[REMOTE from iriss-air.lan] (delegate-task) Run tests [REMOTE:2577fec0-...:iriss-air.lan]

Extract the deviceId from the [REMOTE:deviceId:deviceName] tag at the end.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--device	Yes	Target device ID (from the REMOTE tag)
--device-name	No	Device name (for logging)
--message	Yes	Reply message text (or pipe via stdin)
--type	No	Message type (default: send-message)
