Poke

Build with the Poke developer SDK and REST API — send messages to a user's Poke agent, create webhook triggers, authenticate with API keys, and understand the platform (channels, Kitchen, integrations, recipes). Use when the user asks to "send a message to Poke", "call the Poke API", "use the poke npm package", "integrate with poke.com", or builds anything against `poke.com/api/v1`.

Poke SDK & API — Map of Content

Poke is a personal AI agent by Interaction Company. The poke npm package and REST API let you send the agent messages and create webhook triggers programmatically.

This skill is structured as a graph: scan the descriptions below, follow only the [[wikilinks]] you need. Don't read every node up front.

Platform context

[[references/overview]] — what Poke is, channels (iMessage / Telegram / SMS), languages, status.
[[references/kitchen]] — the developer dashboard at poke.com/kitchen.
[[references/use-cases]] — canonical API patterns: desktop capture, event automation, service bridging.

Setup

[[references/installation]] — installing the npm package, Node version requirements.
[[references/api-keys]] — getting a V2 key, the V1 vs V2 trap.
[[references/credential-resolution]] — order in which Poke() finds an API key.

SDK methods (one node per method)

[[references/send-message]] — poke.sendMessage(text): fire one message at the agent.
[[references/create-webhook]] — poke.createWebhook({ condition, action }): mint a persistent trigger.
[[references/send-webhook]] — poke.sendWebhook({ webhookUrl, webhookToken, data }): fire an existing trigger.

Talking to the API directly

[[references/rest-endpoint]] — POST /api/v1/inbound/api-message from any language.

When things go wrong

[[references/auth-errors]] — PokeAuthError, retry rules, key rotation.
[[references/async-semantics]] — what success: true actually means.

Sibling skills

[[../poke-webhooks/SKILL]] — designing condition/action pairs and wiring event sources.
[[../poke-mcp-tunnel/SKILL]] — the poke CLI: login, registering a remote MCP, tunneling localhost.
[[../poke-recipes/SKILL]] — creating shareable Recipe install bundles.
[[../poke-integrations/SKILL]] — pre-built integrations and connecting custom MCPs to a user's Poke.
