Can Claude use this to chat with me on WhatsApp?

No, this skill is specifically designed for messaging third parties or searching history; Claude's direct chat with the primary user is handled automatically by the platform.

Does my phone need to be online for this to work?

While basic sending often works independently once authenticated, more complex features like history backfill generally require your phone to be online for the best results.

Is it possible to search for specific keywords in my chats?

Yes, you can search for specific queries across all chats or within a specific Chat JID, and apply date filters to narrow down the results.

Can I send files or just text?

The wacli skill supports sending both plain text messages and files (such as PDFs or images) with optional captions to individual contacts or groups.

How do I authenticate my WhatsApp account?

You can authenticate by running the 'wacli auth' command, which generates a QR code that you scan using the WhatsApp app on your mobile device.

关于

This skill empowers Claude to interact with WhatsApp via the wacli command-line interface, enabling automated communication and data retrieval. It allows users to send text messages, files, and group updates to third parties, as well as search through chat history and sync message data for reference. Designed for automation and external communication rather than direct user-to-Claude chatting, it provides a secure way to manage WhatsApp interactions, perform history backfills, and retrieve specific information from previous conversations without leaving the terminal environment.
