ii-irc

What it 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.

Why it's useful

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