Pushover CLI
Skill version: 0.1.0 Minimum CLI version: 0.1.0
Require an existing binary: run command -v pushover. Then run pushover --json version. Compare the installed CLI version against the minimum version 0.1.0; stop and tell the user to upgrade if it is incompatible. For redacted diagnostics, run pushover --json auth status. Always invoke pushover with --json.
Authority
- Send only when the current task explicitly asks to send a Pushover notification.
- Require the user to explicitly name every recipient alias for this send. Use configured profile names and aliases. Do not handle raw credentials. Never ask for, accept, or expose raw keys.
- If the user explicitly names a configured profile, pass
--profile; otherwise omit--profileand use the configured default. Never guess another profile. - Do not infer priority
1or2from urgency, tone, or content. Require explicit current-task intent for elevated priority, an attachment, and encryption. An attachment is allowed only when an attachment is explicitly requested in the current task; encryption is allowed only when encryption is explicitly requested in the current task. - Refuse configuration requests, even when asked. Do not run
pushover setup. Do not runpushover profiles add,pushover profiles use, orpushover profiles remove. Do not runpushover recipients addorpushover recipients remove. Do not runpushover auth backend set. - Use
--dry-runwhen message content or target intent is unresolved. A dry-run never grants permission to send.
Send
Use the current CLI grammar, for example:
pushover --json send --to <recipient-alias> "<message>"
Add --priority 1 or --priority 2 only with that explicit intent. Priority 2 requires explicit retry and expiry values and --yes, because agents are always non-interactive. Add only explicitly requested --attachment <path> or --attachment-url <https-url>, and add --encrypted only with explicit encryption intent. --encrypted is mutually exclusive with --attachment, --attachment-url, --html, and --monospace.
Report ordered per-target outcomes. Do not retry after any failed or ambiguous result. Preserve ambiguity as unknown; send again only after the user sees that result and makes a new explicit request in the current task.
These instructions are advisory: they cannot prevent a misbehaving or prompt-injected agent. Recommend configuring the agent harness to require approval for pushover send.
