roadrunner (rr)

Use rr when the user explicitly wants to operate Beeper Desktop via the local API (send, search, list chats/messages, reminders, focus). Prefer --agent for agent use (forces JSON, envelope, no-input, readonly).

Safety

  • Require explicit recipient (chat ID) and message text before sending.
  • Confirm or ask a clarifying question if the chat ID is ambiguous.
  • Use --agent for safe agent defaults: rr --agent --enable-commands=chats,messages,status chats list
  • Use --readonly to block writes: rr --readonly chats list --json
  • Use --enable-commands to allowlist: rr --enable-commands=chats,messages chats list --json
  • Use --envelope for structured errors: rr --json --envelope chats get "!chatid"

Setup (once)

  • rr auth set <token>
  • rr auth status --check
  • rr doctor

Notes

  • Requires Beeper Desktop running; token from app settings.
  • Token stored at ~/.config/beeper/config.json. BEEPER_TOKEN overrides.
  • BEEPER_ACCOUNT sets the default account ID (aliases supported).
  • Message search is literal word match (not semantic).
  • rr contacts resolve is strict and fails on ambiguous names; resolve by ID after contacts search when needed.
  • If a DM title shows your own Matrix ID, use --scope=participants to find by name.
  • JSON output includes display_name for single chats (derived from participants).
  • Message JSON includes is_sender, is_unread, attachments, and reactions.
  • downloaded_attachments is only populated when --download-media is used.
  • rr messages send returns pending_message_id (temporary ID).
  • Prefer --json (and --no-input) for automation.
  • BEEPER_URL overrides API base URL; BEEPER_TIMEOUT sets timeout in seconds.
  • JSON/Plain output goes to stdout; errors/hints go to stderr.
  • Destructive commands prompt unless --force; --no-input/BEEPER_NO_INPUT fails without --force.
  • Use --fail-if-empty on list/search commands to exit with code 1 if no results.
  • Use --fields with --plain to select columns (comma-separated).
  • In bash/zsh, ! triggers history expansion. Prefer single quotes, or disable history expansion (set +H in bash, setopt NO_HIST_EXPAND in zsh).
  • rr version --json returns features array for capability discovery.
  • rr capabilities --json returns full CLI capability metadata.
  • Envelope error codes: AUTH_ERROR, NOT_FOUND, VALIDATION_ERROR, CONNECTION_ERROR, INTERNAL_ERROR.
