What problem does it solve?

Foundry VTT chat messages are central to gameplay and UX, but building and rendering messages consistently across modules can be error-prone. This Skill guides developers in programmatically creating, configuring, and rendering chat messages, including speaker assignment, whispers, roll results, and custom rendering hooks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create ChatMessage instances with content, speaker, whisper, and rolls data
• Configure speakers, whisper recipients, and roll modes to control visibility and presentation
• Integrate with renderChatMessageHTML and other hooks to customize message appearance and behavior across modules

Quick Start

To send a basic message: await ChatMessage.create({ content: "Hello, world!" }); To send a message with a specific speaker: await ChatMessage.create({ content: "Attack!", speaker: ChatMessage.getSpeaker({ actor: myActor }) });
