License: MIT (official openclaw/wacli repository, pinned revision)
This Skill comes from the official openclaw/wacli repository and guides agents using the separately installed wacli CLI to search, sync, and send WhatsApp messages. The linked ZIP is a pinned snapshot of the whole repository, not a standalone CLI installer. Pairing and sends involve sensitive data and external actions; start read-only and confirm every send.

Usage instructions
Source and setup
The download is a pinned ZIP of the official repository, containing .agents/skills/wacli/SKILL.md and LICENSE. Inspect the files, then copy the Skill directory according to your agent client documentation. The ZIP is not a standalone CLI installer.
Install the CLI separately: use brew install openclaw/tap/wacli on macOS/Linux or an official Releases binary on Windows. Check wacli --version first. Run wacli auth and scan the QR code only with consent from the account owner.
Start read-only
- Inspect status with
wacli --read-only --json doctor. - Search the local index with
wacli --read-only --json messages search "keyword"; missing results may reflect incomplete history. - Confirm the scope before sync, download, or send. Show the recipient, full message, and attachments and obtain explicit approval before sending.
Safety review
Safety assessment: B (human confirmation required)
The Skill is a document, but it directs an agent to a CLI that can access chats, contacts, and a linked WhatsApp session. It is not risk-free. Pairing creates local session and message databases; protect devices, backups, and logs, and avoid disclosing private chats to untrusted models.
Default to --read-only. Obtain account-owner authorization before sending, syncing, downloading media, or changing chat state. Verify the recipient and complete content to prevent accidental or bulk sends. wacli uses the WhatsApp Web protocol and is not a Meta product; assess account and terms-of-service risks. Inspect the pinned official repository ZIP before installation.
