Send a message from an external agent or script to a running Claude Code session on the same machine. Use when a manually started Codex session needs to tell any Claude session something, Codex needs to report back to the Claude session that launched it, a hook or long job should notify Claude, or the user asks to "send this to Claude", "tell another Claude session", "notify the Claude session", or "report back to Claude". Not for messaging from inside Claude Code when ListAgents and…

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

# Message Claude

Find the exact Claude Code session and send it one plain-text message.

For the opposite direction, use [Message Codex](../message-codex/SKILL.md).

If `ListAgents` and `SendMessage` are available, use them. Do not use the raw inbox to bypass a
permission rule that denied either tool. The workflow below is for external callers such as a
standalone Codex session, Codex launched by Claude, a hook, or a script.

The bundled helper supports macOS, Linux, and WSL 2. Native Windows uses a named pipe and is not
implemented here. Requires JDK 17+ and Kotlin 2.4.21+ (`kotlinr` on `PATH`).
The first run resolves the pinned JSON dependency and compiles the script.

## Send a message

Resolve [scripts/message_claude.main.kts](scripts/message_claude.main.kts) from this skill's directory.

1. List the registered sessions:

   ```sh
   kotlinr <skill-dir>/scripts/message_claude.main.kts --list
   ```

2. Select the target by its exact `name`. If names repeat, narrow with `--cwd` or `--pid`. Never
   guess between multiple matches.

3. Send a short message:

   ```sh
   kotlinr <skill-dir>/scripts/message_claude.main.kts \
     --name the-session-name \
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add heapy/kortex/message-claude@sha256:573dfd3e28da3c44

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.0e35997, 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.
