Thank you for the idea (I can not say anything concerning implementation 
yet) to take advantage of messenger infrastructure for CLI variant of 
org-capture. Certainly it is an option when ssh is not available or 
overkill. It has caused change of my attitude in respect to chat bots.

Are there chat clients optimized as a kind of terminals for CLI 
operation? I mean GNU readline features like TAB completion, incremental 
reverse history search C-r, substituting last argument from previous 
command M-., executing with selection of next command for edit C-o, 
expand history "!" substitutions M-^, multiple kill buffers, etc.? Since 
chat driven RPC is more asynchronous than regular terminals, perhaps 
variants of sorting for command "output" should be implemented as 
threaded grouping or receive order sorting in mail clients.

Earlier I was forced to use a messenger to manage virtual machines even 
from a desktop (so when full-size keyboard and mouse are available). 
That time I wrote a python tool that was called from shell and sent 
arguments to HTTP RPC endpoint used by that bot. Even though it was one 
way communication (responses were sent to the messenger), I found it 
much more convenient. That is why I started to hate inappropriately used 
chat bots.

I admit that messengers have features allowing to create some kinds of 
UI with less efforts than web or native applications. It would be great 
to have specialized clients and protocol features dedicated for CLI, not 
human communications.

Back to Org, are there mobile Org applications that support org-capture 
and org-protocol? I mean purely local using of mobile terminal 
application and simple tool to sent intentions to the Org App?
