# messaging-performance-analyzer

This skill examines Sent message statuses, activity histories, and webhook events to locate delivery problems or read-rate drops. Use it to investigate a campaign or trace why messages failed to arrive.

## What it does

The skill traces where messages fall out of the delivery flow: routing, sending, or delivery. It bases the analysis on Sent `message_id` values, current status, activity records, and webhook events. `READ` is a separate engagement signal for WhatsApp and RCS, not a delivery requirement for SMS.

First define the comparison and its cohort, such as channel, template, country, and send window. Count messages by `message_id`; a current-status snapshot does not establish which earlier transitions occurred. If webhook events are missing, inspect the configuration and event history before treating the gap as a delivery failure.

It can also help investigate errors and channel fallback. This skill does not handle 10DLC registration, Sender Profile design, RCS onboarding, or WhatsApp template authoring; those workflows belong to related skills.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sentdm/sent-plugin --skill messaging-performance-analyzer -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sentdm/sent-plugin --skill messaging-performance-analyzer -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sentdm/sent-plugin --skill messaging-performance-analyzer -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install sentdm/sent-plugin messaging-performance-analyzer
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sentdm/sent-plugin --skill messaging-performance-analyzer -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/sentdm/sent-plugin --path skills/messaging-performance-analyzer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sentdm/sent-plugin --skill messaging-performance-analyzer -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/sentdm/sent-plugin/tree/HEAD/skills/messaging-performance-analyzer/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- locate the stage where delivery rates drop
- compare WhatsApp or RCS read rates
- check whether channel fallback occurred
- compare API statuses with webhook events
- investigate message errors using Sent statuses

## Example prompts
- Analyze why this campaign's messages failed, using their `message_id` values and activity histories.
- Compare WhatsApp delivery and read rates for this template during the selected send window.
- Check whether my webhook receives Sent events and whether they match API statuses.

name: messaging-performance-analyzer
description: Analyzes Sent message delivery, webhook, and activity data to explain funnel drop-offs, delivery failures, read-rate gaps, channel fallback, and suspicious performance changes. Use when a user says MDR, delivery report, message activity, webhook event, failed messages, low delivery rate, RCS fallback, WhatsApp read rate, SMS filtering, campaign performance, or asks why messages did not arrive.
---

<!--
- "MDR" is the human term for the Sent activities surface: GET /v3/messages/{id}/activities. There is no separate MDR endpoint.
- Lifecycle: QUEUED -> ROUTED -> SENT -> DELIVERED -> READ (WhatsApp/RCS only), with FAILED at any stage and RECEIVED for inbound.
- Sent exposes its own normalized error codes (AUTH_*, VALIDATION_*, RESOURCE_*, BUSINESS_*, CONFLICT_001, SERVICE_001, INTERNAL_*) on the HTTP envelope, plus send-time per-message codes (ERR_CONSENT_BLOCKED, ERR_ROUTE_DENIED, ERR_TEMPLATE_PARAMS_INVALID) on the message `description` field. See references/mdr-status-codes.md.

# Messaging performance analyzer

## Overview

Use this skill to turn raw Sent message evidence into a concise diagnosis of what changed, where the funnel leaks, and what to fix first. Anchor every analysis to **Sent message IDs**, **message status**, **message activities**, and **webhook events** before interpreting carrier, WhatsApp, or RCS provider codes.

Sent’s v3 send endpoint accepts a template-based request and returns per-recipient `message_id` values for asynchronous tracking. Status is retrieved with `GET /v3/messages/{id}`, and detailed lifecycle evidence is retrieved with `GET /v3/messages/{id}/activities`. Webhook endpoints support event ingestion, event-type discovery, event history, test delivery, and secret rotation.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user asks why messages failed, why delivery or read rate dropped, whether fallback is working, whether a provider is filtering traffic, or how a campaign performed. Trigger on words such as “MDR,” “delivery report,” “webhook event,” “activities,” “status,” “failed,” “undelivered,” “read rate,” “fallback,” “filtering,” “throttling,” or “carrier reject.”

Do not use this skill to register 10DLC, design a Sender Profile, onboard RCS, or author WhatsApp templates. Hand those workflows to the related skills after the performance symptom is isolated.
