What it does

Greenbubbles Setup is an agent skill from bojieli/greenbubbles. Install or diagnose the local GreenBubbles CLI and read-only WeChat access. Use for a missing CLI, failed database access, source selection, or initial owner-operated key capture.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/setup.md` and `scripts/doctor.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with WeChat and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Enable your AI agents to access your WeChat history in real time. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Failed database access
  • Source selection
  • Initial owner-operated key capture

Example prompts

  • “/greenbubbles-setup”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69f19c7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Greenbubbles Setup loads about 537 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~537
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Install or diagnose the local GreenBubbles CLI and read-only WeChat access. Use for a missing CLI, failed database access, source selection, or initial owner-operated key capture.

Set up GreenBubbles

Work on the user's Mac with the local CLI. Resolve file links relative to this skill. Setup needs no embedded agent, MCP server, or separate model API key.

Check access

Run python3 <this-skill>/scripts/doctor.py first. Supply --greenbubbles /absolute/path/to/greenbubbles or --profile NAME when known. The doctor checks capabilities and read-only source access without printing keys or messages. A failed check is a setup issue, not evidence of empty history.

Fix the failed check

Read references/setup.md for the relevant installation, source/profile, or capture steps. Use command -v greenbubbles and greenbubbles --version to identify the selected executable; 0.10.0 includes chats find, name selection, and command-line --query search. Do not silently substitute another executable after a failed check.

Ordinary live use needs no profile after capture: the CLI discovers the account and reads ~/.greenbubbles-acquire/passphrase.txt. Custom paths belong in ~/.greenbubbles/config.toml. Use profiles for a second account or a snapshot. Never put credentials in chat, arguments, logs, or projects.

If a source hangs, diagnose one directory open with a timeout before retrying. Workspace permissions, Unix ownership, and macOS privacy access are separate; compare the user's terminal with the agent host and verify changes with a fresh read. Key capture is owner-operated; follow the setup reference's authorization requirements for steps that re-sign WeChat.

Continue the requested task

After source status succeeds, use context for a query or personal memory for maintained notes. Reading messages across all chats is unnecessary to verify setup. Keep the complete sibling skill package available; installation into host discovery folders is optional.
