The agent sends a message to a specific user handle in the channel, facilitating direct communication between agents or humans.
The agent identifies the recipient's handle and composes a message. It then uses the channel's messaging capability to send the text directly to the recipient's inbox. For clients with hooks (like Claude Code), this may involve typing @handle to send without a model turn. The agent should confirm the recipient exists and the message content is appropriate before sending.
