Troubleshoot why the agent stopped replying to iMessages, in priority order.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Work through these in order and stop at the cause. Report the cause and the specific fix.

1. Budget cap. Check the daily budget. When the cap is hit the agent goes SILENT with no error (texts just stop). Raise the limit or wait for reset.

2. Bridge alive + ingesting. Is the iMessage node still feeding messages in? Look for recent inbound items (source "import", tagged `imessage`) via recall/memory. If the newest is hours/days old, the bridge process on the node is down — have the user restart it (`launchctl kickstart -k …`) and confirm Messages.app is running and signed into iMessage.

3. Text decoding. Are recent captured messages real text, or a replacement char (`�`)? If they decode to `�`, the attributedBody decoder is failing on that node's macOS, so the trigger word never matches. Update + restart that node's bridge.

4. Trigger + allowlist. A reply requires the trigger word (whole-word match) from an allowed sender or chat (unless the bridge runs with `--respond all`). Confirm the message actually contained the trigger and the sender/chat is on the allowlist.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add spshulem/openagi/diagnose-no-imessage-replies@sha256:55e872c8b131182a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.d1d67a3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
