Create a new group chat with contacts.

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

Create a new iMessage group chat interactively.

## Step 1: Ask who should be in the group
Ask the user for names, phone numbers, or a mix. They can provide comma-separated values.

## Step 2: Resolve contacts
Run:
```
imessage-tools create-group resolve $ARGUMENTS
```
Parse the JSON output and present a clean numbered list to the user:
- Show each resolved contact with name and number
- Flag any ambiguous matches and ask the user to pick
- Flag any not-found names and ask for corrections

## Step 3: Confirm the roster
Show the final list and ask: "Look good? You can +Name to add or -Name to remove, or 'yes' to proceed."
If they add/remove, re-resolve and show the updated list.

## Step 4: Get the first message
Ask: "What should the first message be?"

## Step 5: Create the group
Run:
```
imessage-tools create-group send "phone1,phone2,..." "message"
```

Show the result. Note: group naming must be done in Messages.app after creation.

IMPORTANT: Always confirm with the user before running the send step. Never create the group without explicit "yes" confirmation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add benelser/imessage-tools/imessage-group-create@sha256:a23a58529e4746f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260331.eba3989, 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.
