Notify
Use AgentNotify's notifications skill for durable completion notices,
actionable prompts, replies, and diagnosis. The AgentNotify MCP and CLI own
that workflow; agentnotify guide --json is the operation contract.
For an existing terminal-notifier caller, use AgentStart's installed router:
"$HOME/.local/bin/terminal-notifier" -title TITLE -message TEXT -group TASK_IDThe router checks AgentNotify before submitting, starts the inbox if needed,
and preserves arguments, piped messages, responses, and exit status. If
AgentNotify remains unavailable, it exits 127 before submitting a notification;
it never falls back to the original terminal-notifier.
Do not retry a submitted notification through another delivery path just because
a response times out: AgentNotify may already have saved it or recorded an
answer. Diagnose with agentnotify diagnose. AgentNotify's own arrival is the
only presentation; legacy sound and -ignoreDnD inputs do not enable macOS
banners. Write a short outcome or next step and use a task-specific group.
