At a glance

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

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Wacli is an agent skill from trpc-group/trpc-agent-go. Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats).

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with WhatsApp. The repository describes itself as: A Go framework for building production agent systems with graph workflows, tools, memory, A2A, AG-UI, MCP, evaluation, and observability. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/wacli”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7d53a6c. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Wacli loads about 596 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~596

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.

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 <jid>
  • wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31

History backfill

  • wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --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 <number>@s.whatsapp.net; groups look like <id>@g.us (use wacli chats list to find).
