What it does

Add Reactions is an agent skill from sbusso/claudeclaw. Add WhatsApp emoji reaction support — receive, send, store, and search reactions.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases. It works with WhatsApp and React. The repository describes itself as: Use Claude to orchestrate agents like OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Pre-flight
Apply Code Changes
Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1395af4. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- npm
- npx
- sqlite3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
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

Add Reactions loads about 811 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~811

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description: Add WhatsApp emoji reaction support — receive, send, store, and search reactions.

Add Reactions

This skill adds emoji reaction support to ClaudeClaw's WhatsApp channel: receive and store reactions, send reactions from the container agent via MCP tool, and query reaction history from SQLite.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Check if src/status-tracker.ts exists:

bash

test -f src/status-tracker.ts && echo "Already applied" || echo "Not applied"

If already applied, skip to Phase 3 (Verify).

Phase 2: Apply Code Changes

Ensure WhatsApp fork remote

bash

git remote -v

If whatsapp is missing, add it:

bash

git remote add whatsapp https://github.com/qwibitai/claudeclaw-whatsapp.git

Merge the skill branch

bash

git fetch whatsapp skill/reactions
git merge whatsapp/skill/reactions || {
  git checkout --theirs package-lock.json
  git add package-lock.json
  git merge --continue
}

This adds:

scripts/migrate-reactions.ts (database migration for reactions table with composite PK and indexes)
src/status-tracker.ts (forward-only emoji state machine for message lifecycle signaling, with persistence and retry)
src/status-tracker.test.ts (unit tests for StatusTracker)
agent/skills/reactions/SKILL.md (agent-facing documentation for the react_to_message MCP tool)
Reaction support in src/orchestrator/db.ts, src/channels/whatsapp.ts, src/orchestrator/types.ts, src/orchestrator/ipc.ts, src/index.ts, src/group-queue.ts, and agent/runner/src/ipc-mcp-stdio.ts

Run database migration

bash

npx tsx scripts/migrate-reactions.ts

Validate code changes

bash

npm test
npm run build

All tests must pass and build must be clean before proceeding.

Phase 3: Verify

Build and restart

bash

npm run build

Service name: Derived from the directory name: com.claudeclaw.<dirname> (macOS) / claudeclaw-<dirname> (Linux). For example, if cwd is my-assistant, the service is com.claudeclaw.my-assistant. Determine the correct service name before running service commands below.

Linux:

bash

systemctl --user restart claudeclaw

macOS:

bash

launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.claudeclaw

Test receiving reactions

Send a message from your phone
React to it with an emoji on WhatsApp
Check the database:

bash

sqlite3 store/messages.db "SELECT * FROM reactions ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 5;"

Test sending reactions

Ask the agent to react to a message via the react_to_message MCP tool. Check your phone — the reaction should appear on the message.

Troubleshooting

Reactions not appearing in database

Check ClaudeClaw logs for Failed to process reaction errors
Verify the chat is registered
Confirm the service is running

Migration fails

Ensure store/messages.db exists and is accessible
If "table reactions already exists", the migration already ran — skip it

Agent can't send reactions

Check IPC logs for Unauthorized IPC reaction attempt blocked — the agent can only react in its own group's chat
Verify WhatsApp is connected: check logs for connection status
