Skype integration is linux only. It uses the dbus protocol to shuffle messages between a running skype client and basil.

Install skype
Start the skype client under a profile to represent basil
Use server_type: :skype in config/basil.yml
Start basil

Notes

The skype client can be run "headlessly" using a tool like Xvfb
Except in private chat, basil will only reply to messages "to him" which is determined by looking for Config.me as a message prefix (@basil ..., basil, ..., !... and some other formats are recognized).
