MatClaw: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/add-whatsapp/SKILL.md

add-whatsapp is a skill for Claude Code from DingyangLyu/MatClaw. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,518 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for adding WhatsApp as a communication channel to MatClaw, either alongside existing channels or instead of them. It supports authentication with a QR code or a phone pairing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install WhatsApp support, configure dependencies, authenticate the account, register it, and verify the connection. It is also useful when deciding between QR-code and pairing-code authentication.
Why use it?
It checks whether WhatsApp is already configured and adapts the login instructions to the environment, including headless systems without a graphical display. This avoids repeating setup work or choosing an unsuitable login method.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

add-whatsapp scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (add/setup/whatsapp-auth.ts, add/src/channels/whatsapp.test.ts, add/src/channels/whatsapp.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Add WhatsApp Channel

This skill adds WhatsApp support to MatClaw. It installs the WhatsApp channel code, dependencies, and guides through authentication, registration, and configuration.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check current state

Check if WhatsApp is already configured. If store/auth/ exists with credential files, skip to Phase 4 (Registration) or Phase 5 (Verify).

ls store/auth/creds.json 2>/dev/null && echo "WhatsApp auth exists" || echo "No WhatsApp auth"

Detect environment

Check whether the environment is headless (no display server):

[[ -z "$DISPLAY" && -z "$WAYLAND_DISPLAY" && "$OSTYPE" != darwin* ]] && echo "IS_HEADLESS=true" || echo "IS_HEADLESS=false"

Ask the user

Use AskUserQuestion to collect configuration. Adapt auth options based on environment:

If IS_HEADLESS=true AND not WSL → AskUserQuestion: How do you want to authenticate WhatsApp?

  • Pairing code (Recommended) - Enter a numeric code on your phone (no camera needed, requires phone number)
  • QR code in terminal - Displays QR code in the terminal (can be too small on some displays)

Otherwise (macOS, desktop Linux, or WSL) → AskUserQuestion: How do you want to authenticate WhatsApp?

  • QR code in browser (Recommended) - Opens a browser window with a large, scannable QR code
  • Pairing code - Enter a numeric code on your phone (no camera needed, requires phone number)
  • QR code in terminal - Displays QR code in the terminal (can be too small on some displays)

If they chose pairing code:

AskUserQuestion: What is your phone number? (Include country code without +, e.g., 1234567890)

Phase 2: Verify Code

Apply the skill to install the WhatsApp channel code and dependencies:

npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts .claude/skills/add-whatsapp

Verify the code was placed correctly:

test -f src/channels/whatsapp.ts && echo "WhatsApp channel code present" || echo "ERROR: WhatsApp channel code missing — re-run skill apply"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
