nodecode-call-me
Call Me: ring a phone through the /call-me app, speak a sentence, and read the spoken answer back as text. A Nodecode rewrite of radres/hermes-plugin-call-me by radres.
/call-me is an iPhone app that gives a person a private 10-digit number for their agents. This cell gives the model two things to do with that number, and a person the same verbs from a slash command:
| What | Does |
|---|---|
callme_call |
Rings the phone, says the model's text out loud, waits, and answers the person's spoken reply as a transcript. |
callme_text |
Texts the phone: the agent's answer, a reminder, what a scheduled job came to. |
/callme |
What the number reaches right now, or a text or a call sent on the spot. |
(help :call-me) |
The manual the model reads before it reaches for either tool. |
Both verbs are fenced by the section's allowed_users: a number, or a name, that is not on that list is refused before any request leaves, so an agent that has been talked into reaching a stranger still cannot.
Get it
Tell the agent "add the call-me cell", or run nodecode add nc://call-me.
Set it up
Install /call-me on the iPhone (callmemcp.com) and note the 10-digit number the app shows. That number is what the agent reaches, and it goes in the section — there is no key to copy and no account to create on this side.
In /settings, or in the call-me section of config.jsonc:
"call-me": {
"allowed_users": ["5551234567"],
"names": "5551234567=Sam",
"label": "Nodecode",
"call_wait": 120
}
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
allowed_users |
The 10-digit numbers the agent may text and ring. The cell refuses to start without one. |
names |
Optional number=name pairs; the model sees the name and may use it in place of the number. |
label |
The thread name the phone shows for this agent. |
call_wait |
How long a call waits for the person to answer and finish, in seconds; 300 at most. |
timeout |
How long one request to the service may take, in seconds. |
The first text or call mints the agent's session with the service, and the agent's own number with it; the token is kept in a 0600 file under the nodecode home, so the number stays the same across restarts. Delete that file (~/.nodecode/call-me/session.json) for a fresh number.
The /call-me app on the receiving iPhone is a paid subscription; the cell is free.
Use it
Ask for it in words — "call me when the deploy finishes", "ring me and ask whether to ship" — and the model picks callme_call; "text me the summary when you are done" is callme_text. From eval, in the call-me package:
(call-me:ring "The build is green. Deploy now?" :to "Sam") ; => the transcript (call-me:text "The deploy is live." :to "5551234567") ; => what went out (call-me:status) ; what /callme answers
/callme alone says which numbers are reachable and what the agent's own number is; /callme text Sam the build is green and /callme call Sam deploy now? do it from the shell.
A call is bounded: it ends when the person hangs up or when the wait runs out, and the answer then says missed with a hint to send a text instead, so an unattended turn is never held open.
What it does not do
The original plugin is also a chat surface: it polls the service for the person's texts and voicemails and answers them as a session. This cell is the outbound half — the tools and the command, and the agent's number to be texted at. A reply typed in the /call-me app reaches the phone, not the transcript.
