Skill Details

SKILL.md

Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats).

Overview

# wacli

Use wacli only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history.

Do NOT use wacli for normal user chats; OpenClaw routes WhatsApp conversations automatically.

If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.

Safety

Require explicit recipient + message text.
Confirm recipient + message before sending.
If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.

Auth + sync

wacli auth (QR login + initial sync)
wacli sync --follow (continuous sync)
wacli doctor

Find chats + messages

wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"
wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat
wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31

History backfill

wacli history backfill --chat --requests 2 --count 50

Send

Text: wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?"
Group: wacli send text --to "1234567890-123456789@g.us" --message "Running 5 min late."
File: wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"

Notes

Store dir: ~/.wacli (override with --store).
Use --json for machine-readable output when parsing.
Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
JIDs: direct chats look like @s.whatsapp.net; groups look like @g.us (use wacli chats list to find).
