Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats).
Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats).
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
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.

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; itβs for messaging other people. JIDs: direct chats look like <number>@s.whatsapp.net; groups look like <id>@g.us (use wacli chats list to find).
