Beeper

**Quick judgement** Beeper is a focused, read-only skill for searching and browsing your local Beeper Desktop chat history via `beeper-cli`. It’s powerful for users who already live in Beeper and want programmatic, searchable access to all their messages, but it depends on a specific local setup and exposes highly sensitive personal data to whatever agent is using it. **Strengths** - Leverages Beeper’s unified inbox to search across many chat platforms from one local SQLite DB. - Strong full-text search (FTS5) with phrase, proximity, and context-window queries. - Read-only and JSON-native, which is ideal for safe, structured retrieval and LLM tooling. **Key risks & limitations** - **Privacy risk:** Any agent using this skill can see potentially all personal and work chats stored in Beeper. Users must trust the agent and environment, and apply strict prompt scoping and redaction where needed. - **Environment constraints:** Requires Beeper Desktop and `beeper-cli` correctly installed and configured; paths shown are macOS-centric, and behavior on other platforms is not fully documented here. - **Read-only only:** Great for retrieval and analysis, but cannot send or modify messages. **Recommended scenarios** - Power users or engineers who already use Beeper Desktop and want an LLM to act as a smart search layer over all their messages (e.g., “find every time we discussed the Q3 launch and summarize decisions”). - Knowledge workers who need fast recall of historical discussions, links, and decisions spread across many chat apps. - Data/automation workflows that need to extract, filter, or summarize chat history without risking outbound messages. **Not ideal for** - Users who are not comfortable granting an agent broad read access to their entire chat history. - Environments where Beeper Desktop or `beeper-cli` cannot be installed or where the local DB path is inaccessible.
