## What it does

This skill operates on existing Sent records through `templates.list`, `templates.get`, `templates.get_by_name`, and `templates.delete`. When searching by name, it detects collisions across languages or channels and prompts to pick the exact entry. Summaries avoid echoing body text, focusing instead on identifiers, channels, categories, and approval states.

Connection relies on OAuth 2.1 and PKCE without exposing credentials. Destructive actions require preflight verification: the agent fetches the target record, outputs a preview with the active organization and Sender Profile, then waits for immediate confirmation. Automatic retries on delete errors are blocked.

Template creation lies outside this tool. Draft content creation hands off to `waba-template-author`, while UI-based workflows delegate to `template-builder-ui`.

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

```

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sentdm/sent-plugin --skill sent-templates -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/sent-templates/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- locate approved templates by name or exact ID
- inspect delivery channels, languages, and approval statuses
- delete outdated templates with mandatory target pre-fetching
- list template records using Sender Profile filters

## Example prompts
- Find the approval status and channel for the shipping_update template
- Show a paginated list of templates under the active Sender Profile
- Delete template tmpl_98765 after showing the verification preview

# Sent Templates

Operate existing template records with `templates.list`, `templates.get`, `templates.get_by_name`, and `templates.delete`.

## Establish connection and scope

Use client-managed OAuth 2.1/PKCE and never request or expose credentials. Surface the active organization and Sender Profile before deletion; use `sent-account-readiness` if the connection context does not expose both.

Avoid repeating template body text or sample data unnecessarily. Prefer template identifiers, names, languages, channels, categories, and statuses in summaries.

An organization grant may select an owned Sender Profile with the tool schema's optional `profileId`; omit it to act as the authenticated account. Validate ownership with `sender_profiles.list` or `sender_profiles.get`, and use the same selector for preflight reads, mutations, and follow-up reads. Profile grants cannot use this selector. Reauthorize for a different organization or a profile outside the grant. Never invent scope fields or request credentials.

## Find and inspect templates

- Use `templates.list` for filtered discovery and pagination.
- Use `templates.get` for an exact template identifier.
- Use `templates.get_by_name` when the user supplies a name. If a name can match more than one language, channel, or scope, present the candidates and resolve one exact record before continuing.

These tools inspect existing records. For authoring or classification, hand off to `waba-template-author`; for a tenant-facing creation experience, hand off to `template-builder-ui`.

## Delete a template

1. Resolve the request to one exact template.
2. Fetch that target first with `templates.get` or `templates.get_by_name`. Never delete from a guessed identifier, broad filter, or stale list result.
3. Show a delete preview with the selected organization, Sender Profile, exact template identifier, name, language, channel, category, and status. State that deletion is destructive; do not repeat its body.
4. Ask for explicit confirmation to delete this exact target. Earlier or general approval is not sufficient.
5. Call `templates.delete` immediately after confirmation. A change to target, scope, or record invalidates confirmation.

Never call `templates.delete` without fetching the target and obtaining explicit confirmation immediately before the call. Treat every retry as a new mutation: refetch the target, show a fresh preview, and obtain new explicit confirmation.
