2 ideas for drastically simplifying some command inputs:
A bare command such as /edit or /delete should assume "the last message I sent". Note that it will not necessarily be the highest id, because that could be one of another user.
Alternatively, if that implementation is too hard, avoiding the id number when the intent is obvious is still a nice idea, ...

What Gets Sent
Madara Uchiha posted a comment asking about what information was being tracked. This answer should help clarify what's going on.
The Client
When the script sends a message to the server, it is one of four types:
active - sent whenever the tab loses or gains focus. Other users will see your image fade when focus is lost.
typing - sent ...

You can register a callback with Stack Exchange Chat, which gets called prior to the change happening in the DOM (i.e. if you want to find a new message in the DOM, you need to use a setTimeout() to act after the DOM change). Callbacks can be registered with CHAT.addEventHandlerHook(callback), which takes a function as its single argument.
The callback ...

Notes
All you need to do to add your own oneboxed site is add a function to the customSites object (ie. add a 'plugin' :)
The function must be named as the URL you want to onebox (eg. SoundCloud -> soundcloud.com as the function name)
The function must have the parameters link and $obj, in that order! link = the matched link; $obj = the message as a jQuery ...

I did some bug fixing to this and posted it on Github: https://github.com/muru/SEChatSound, and added more sounds. Modifications were only tested on recent versions of Google Chrome, and I don't know the media plugin that SE uses well enough to know if I broke anything.

There is no official API provided for the chat network. As Marc's answer mentions, there are a number of community efforts to bridge the gap:
Go
go-sechat
JavaScript
ChatBot
ChatExchange
ThirdPlace

I think there is a bug: I was trying out the Clipboard feature, but I don't seem to be able to Delete/Paste items from the clipboard. If I try to delete an item, it always comes back if I click again on the "clipboard" button. and if I click Paste, nothing happens.
I'm using Firefox 37.0.1 and Windows 7.
In case it matters: I installed the following add-...

Seems like the keyboard navigation broke since the jQuery version was upgraded while fixing the scrolling bug.
CTRL+Up will now both navigate upwards with the extension, and move the edited message marker (as though you pressed Up without CTRL).

and what exactly would you have? you are correct in that there is no officially supported API available for chat. Some fairly successful efforts have been made by the community (unrelated to SE) to reverse engineer the API that chat uses; but that is not the same thing as a supported and documented API.
AFAIK there are no active plans to implement a direct ...

Version 3.1 is available today. New improvements include:
A configuration option that will allow you to mark unread items as read when you open your inbox. (This is implemented by loading the inbox in the background and ignoring the result)
The "inbox item body" is now shown alongside the title of the post.
Some small CSS fixes.

bug status-completed
The interface doesn't close when pressing on the "give explicit write access", which is inconsistent with the behavior of the other buttons upon being pressed. It is also not clear if this worked or not, as there is no feedback and you need to go into the rooms info to make sure it indeed worked

feature-request Also support pasting an image from the clipboard.
Thank you for this, this is awesome. But if you also add the paste feature that imgur has (it also works on Stack Exchange posts, hit the "insert image" icon and Ctrl+V), I will worship you1.

If you have the Chat Modifications userscript, it seems this script will fail to work altogether. I'm investigating.

Hope you're still updating this...
I'm on the latest version 1.0.18 and using Chrome 65.0.3325.181 on Win 10. The latest update to Chrome extensions has caused a possible bug in the options page of this extension. See screenshot:
There are more options below "HamStare", but they are inaccessible. A scroll bar is not there as well.
