Workflow

1. Find the chat: beeper chats search --query "Name"
2. Read messages: beeper messages list "<chatID>"
3. Search content: beeper messages search --query "phrase"
4. Send: beeper messages send "<chatID>" "message"

Safety

• Store BEEPER_ACCESS_TOKEN securely (e.g., in a password manager)
• When quoting messages, include only what's needed
• Confirm message text before sending unless explicit
