Wakewire Setup

You are configuring wakewire, a local daemon that pushes external events into Codex threads. Configuration happens through the wakewire_* MCP tools; this skill is the runbook.

0. Check the daemon

Call wakewire_status.

• If it errors with "daemon is not running", have the user run in a terminal:

  npm install -g wakewire
  wakewire init
  wakewire start --detach     # or: wakewire service install (starts at login)
  

  Then call wakewire_status again.
• Confirm adapter.codexReachable is true. If not, codex isn't on PATH for the daemon — ask the user how they installed Codex.

1. Resolve the target thread

Most users want events delivered "into this thread". MCP tools cannot see the current thread id, but shell commands can:

1. Run this shell command: echo "$CODEX_THREAD_ID"
2. Use that value as target: {"type":"thread","threadId":"<value>"}.

If the user prefers fresh threads per event (e.g. "spawn a worktree and investigate each failure"), use target: {"type":"new-thread","cwd":"<abs repo path>","worktree":true} instead.

2. Set up the source

GitHub

1. Call wakewire_source_setup_github with the repo (e.g. {"repo":"acme/api"}). It creates a smee.io relay channel and returns a webhook URL, a secret, and step-by-step instructions.
2. Relay those instructions to the user verbatim — they add the webhook in the repo settings. Warn them: smee.io is a public relay; payloads transit it, which is why wakewire verifies HMAC signatures and why private-repo users may prefer {"mode":"listen"} with their own tunnel.
3. GitHub sends a ping on creation; wakewire_status should show the source received it.

Gmail

1. Ask which Gmail label to watch (never watch everything — a label is required) and the Gmail address.
2. Ask which auth they prefer:
   • App password (simpler): call wakewire_source_setup_gmail with {label, user, authKind: "imap-password"}. The user creates an app password at https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords (needs 2-Step Verification) and runs wakewire auth imap in a terminal to store it. Also works for non-Gmail IMAP servers via host/port.
   • OAuth: call wakewire_source_setup_gmail with {label, user}. The user creates their own Google OAuth client (Desktop type) and runs wakewire auth gmail in a terminal to complete consent.
3. Relay the returned instructions verbatim either way.

Slack

1. Call wakewire_source_setup_slack (optionally with {team: "workspace-name"}). It returns the one-time Slack app setup: create an app, enable Socket Mode (app-level token, connections:write), add bot scopes (app_mentions:read, channels:history, channels:read, users:read), subscribe to bot events (app_mention, message.channels), install, invite the bot to channels.
