What This Skill Does

ii is a minimalist IRC client that maps channels to plain files. This skill connects an AI agent to IRC by monitoring those files for mentions and writing responses to a FIFO. Covers ii installation, watcher script setup, systemd services, and message sending.

File-based I/O means no IRC library dependencies and no polling — the watcher uses tail -F for instant, zero-overhead mention detection.

When to Use It

  • Running an AI bot in a team IRC channel
  • Getting notified when someone mentions your bot nick
  • Sending automated status updates to an IRC channel
  • Logging all channel activity to a plain text file
  • Integrating an AI agent with legacy IRC infrastructure
