+# Interactive recipient-aware message composer
+
+Make bare `@` safe for ordinary unquoted prose while keeping the selected
+recipient visible and switchable.
+
+## Required operator contract
+
+Running `@` without arguments opens an inline composer whose prompt is the
+selected repository, for example `@flex-auth: `. Plain text is read directly
+from the terminal, so apostrophes and other shell punctuation do not require
+quoting. Tab cycles through the other repository windows in the managed
+session, preserving the draft. Enter queues the message and Ctrl-C cancels it.
+
+The initial recipient is the latest durable inbound sender when available. If
+there is no message history, use the first other repository in the session.
+The existing `@ MESSAGE` shorthand remains a non-interactive fast path and
+retains normal shell quoting rules.
+
+## Expose session recipients to the generic command
+
+```task
+id: TAMQ-WP-0009-T01
+status: progress
+priority: high
+```
+
+Encode the addressable repository list in the tamq-owned generic `@` shim,
+without changing shell configuration or trusting arbitrary repository names.
+Exclude the current repository from the interactive recipient cycle.
+
+## Implement the terminal composer
+
+```task
+id: TAMQ-WP-0009-T02
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Add a small terminal-local editor that displays `@recipient: `, accepts literal
+UTF-8 prose, handles backspace and Ctrl-U, cycles recipients on Tab without
+losing the draft, submits on Enter, and restores terminal settings on every
+exit path. Ctrl-C cancels without queuing a message.
+
+## Prove and document the interaction
+
+```task
+id: TAMQ-WP-0009-T03
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Cover recipient ordering, shim metadata, non-TTY rejection, punctuation,
+editing and cancellation with pseudo-terminal tests. Run the full checks,
+install the build, exercise the composer in the live two-window session, and
+update README and SCOPE.
